Meanwhile, Oskar Blues plans to open another brewery and taproom, this time in Austin, Texas.

After 20 years, Stone Brewing Co. CEO, Greg Koch, will transition out of his current role to that of executive chairman.

Top new releases spotted this week.


Highlight: 91 reviews & counting, over 50 on the day of its release last Saturday, for Cantillon Zwanze 2015. 

"Zwanze 2015, or Wild Brussels Stout, was brewed in March of 2013 and was originally a candidate to be served for the Zwanze Day celebration in 2014. 

Zwanze 2015 is Cantillon’s interpretation of a spontaneously fermented stout. Aged for 28 months, Wild Brussels Stout is a blend of Cognac, red wine, and Lambic barrels. The beer coming from Cognac barrels brings a warming alcohol character, while the beer coming from the red wine barrels has a vinous, fruity presence. The fruitiness and roast give this "wild" stout a nutty character reminiscent of wine from Madeira or Banyuls."
