Friday Field Guide 
Fresh picks, from the world's top brewers.


January 15th, 2016 Edition  |  Newsletter Archive
 
This week: We highlight an impressive class of brand-new nationwide releases & relatively attainable beers. That's right, our top five this week should be easier to track down than any batch o' five we have featured before (at least where there's distribution in the case of New Belgium & Ninkasi which aren't nationwide). It's a rip-roaring start to 2016!

Plus, Friday marks the first release of Prairie Barrel-Aged BOMB! Heavens to Murgatroyd!


Want to see all the 2016 brewery release calendars in one place? Now you can.

It's almost Pliny the Younger season. Here are those sweet, sweet beer release details you have been waiting for...

Trouble at Goose Island as the brewery has announced that 2015 Bourbon County Coffee & 2015 Bourbon County Barleywine have both "drifted out of their target character." As a result, you may be able to get a refund.

Finally, some Oregon news with RB Weekly stalwart, de Garde Brewing, expanding in Tillamook and an inside look at Cascade Brewing's impressive barrel room & blending facility.
