FOUNDERS BREWING CO. INTRODUCES NEW CANNED HARD SELTZER
A SOLUTION TO HELP BARS MEET CHANGING MENU NEEDS
Founders Brewing Co. is pleased to introduce Más Agave Premium Hard Seltzer, their first seltzer release and the newest addition to the brewery’s year-round lineup. Made from a high-quality proprietary brewing process, Más Agave Premium Hard Seltzer is brewed with organic blue agave nectar, natural cane sugar, real fruit juice, and a dash of sea salt for good measure. Bursting with a bold fruit aroma and crisp taste, Más Agave Hard Seltzer is a refreshing and gluten-free option specially formulated for craft drinkers at 4.5% ABV. It will be available in lime, strawberry, and grapefruit flavors, and the lime flavor will also be available on draft. “I worked with our R&D Brewer for months tweaking the recipe to get it exactly where we wanted it,” said Brewmaster Jeremy Kosmicki. “I’m really proud of the result – it’s light and refreshing, but it still has great flavor and a big aroma without the harsh aftertaste you sometimes find in hard seltzers.”

GARRISON BROTHERS DISTILLERY RELEASES HONEY-INFUSED BOURBON HoneyDew
Garrison Brothers Distillery, the first legal whiskey distillery in Texas, announced the release of HoneyDew, the latest addition to the company’s portfolio of ultra-premium, Texas-born bourbon whiskies. The 80-proof bourbon, infused with 100% Texas-made Burleson’s wildflower honey, is a smooth, light bourbon with a subtle honey finish. Master Distiller Donnis Todd emptied 176 four-year-old Garrison Brothers Small Batch Bourbon barrels, coopered by Black Swan Cooperage, into a stainless-steel tank, where the liquid mellowed for seven months. He then sawed all the empty bourbon barrels into small wooden cubes that he immersed in Burleson’s Texas Wildflower Honey. The cubes were then infused with more Burleson’s Honey by Matt Albrecht of River Drive Cooperage using a patented technique called Fiber Infusion Technology. Once Todd was satisfied that the cubes had absorbed the honey, he used cheesecloth to contain the cubes and immersed them in the stainless-steel tank of bourbon every day for six months. The new bourbon has tasting notes of sweet elderberry syrup, yellowflesh peaches, apricots, white chocolate, and of course, delicious, golden Texas honey. garrisonbros.com
