Daily Beer Digest - 05.05.2011

Boston Beer Company (Samuel Adams) announced that its shipments were up 10% in the first quarter of 2011.

Founders line of 750mL releases -- the "Backstage Series" -- will start up this summer with the return of Blushing Monk, a Belgian-style beer with raspberries. Future beers will include some of the "one-off" beers from Founders' taproom, though there was no mention of any beers in particular. While CBS and Black Biscuit are not taproom-only, we can all hope those will be part of the series at some point.

Cigar City bottled Batch 4 of 110k+OT today. The beer will be a hoppy imperial amber.

Daily Beer Digest - 03.22.2011

Click here to test your beer geography knowledge--10 minutes to name which of the 49 listed beers correspond to which state. Note that North Dakota does not currently have any production breweries, though that is set to change later this year.

The Indy Star has an article detailing some concerns that Three Floyds, Upland, and Sun King have regarding the state's taxation. As these three breweries approach annual production volumes of 20,000 barrels, they'll be subject to higher taxes and lose other benefits unless Indiana changes its 1993 law.

Make sure to vote in Round 2 of the Washington Post's Beer Madness 2011.

After you head over to WaPo's brackets, vote here in Round 3 of DRAFT Magazine's bracket.

DRAFT Magazine drops the scoop that Anchor is to re-release the coveted Our Barrel Ale.

Beer Pulse has information on this year's Samuel Adams Longshot six packs, which will contain two bottles each of the following: Friar Hop Ale (Belgian IPA), Blackened Hops (American Black Ale), and Honey B’s Lavender Wheat (American Pale Wheat Ale).

Northern Brewer received a cease and desist letter from Bell's, which does not want Northern Brewer to refer to its Bell's Two Hearted Ale clone as Three Hearted Ale. See the Beer Advocate community's thoughts on the subject here.

Samuel Adams Noble Pils

Beer News discusses Sam Adams' new Spring seasonal, Sam Adams Noble Pils. The article states that the pilsner uses all five noble hop varieties:

This beer is special because of the quality and quantity of the hops in the recipe. Of the 100 plus hop varieties in the world only five are judged “Noble hops”, and this beer uses all five. Four are from Germany and one from the Czech Republic. The German hop varieties in Noble Pils are: Hallertau Mittelfrueh, Tettnang Tettnanger, Spalt Spalter, and Hersbrucker Hersbrucker. The Noble hop variety from Bohemia in the Czech Republic is Saaz.
