Spindrift Brewing to Release Second Beer
(Dartmouth, NS) - Upstart brewery Spindrift Brewing is set to release its second beer this month. The new schwarzbier will be called The Dark Abyss and will be a 4.2% ABV and 25 IBU beer.
Kellye Robertson described it as follows "This traditional German style black lager combines a layered malt profile and balanced background of German Hersbrucker and Magnum hops. Upfront notes of toasted grains, coffee and chocolate malts leading to an elegantly smooth finish. Conditioned for 6 weeks, this unfiltered style may be big on flavour, but still sessionable enough to keep you coming back for more."
Don't look for this seasonal in cans as it will be draught only, available at both the retail store and select licensees. For anyone attending The 2016 Craft Beer & Local Food Celebration on January 14th there will be a sneak peek and will be in general release the following day.
