Smuttynose Summer Weizen and Vunderbar Pilsner are both shipping out of our warehouse now and should be on shelves in your neck of the woods very soon!
Summer Weizen (5.3% abv, 15 IBU) is our unique take on a wheat beer. Starting with a traditional German wheat beer grain bill (2:1 barley malt to wheat malt), our brewers veer from that well-traveled path by fermenting the beer with our Belgian Trappist-style yeast and infusing the soft, floral notes of chamomile just before the wort is cooled for fermentation. The result is a relaxing brew that's perfect for your fishing trip, barbecue, softball game or back porch.
Vunderbar Pilsner (5.1% abv, 15 IBU) returns to our "Now and Then" series, taking the place of Noonan Black IPA. 2013's release is the same as last year's; it's made from traditional old world ingredients (German Pilsner malt, Saaz hops, lager yeast, water and nothing else) and is unfiltered. While the liquid inside the bottle is unchaged from last year; we've expanded the package and are now offering Vunderbar in now be available in six packs (rather than a four pack) at the same price you pay for the rest of our year-round and seasonal beers. Try it and see why we can't keep it on tap in our hospitality nook
In addition to the many fine stores that sell Smuttynose beers (and there are a lot), you an always stop by the brewery to buy beer during our tours or during the week, between 9am and 4pm.
We'd like to end this blog post by reminding you of the Vunderbar Pilsner theme song, which you can enjoy here or a spiffy video, produced by our friends at Good Beer NYC.
Enjoy your summer and thanks for making yours a Smutty!
