WHAT’S BREWING AT UNITED? AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2017 EDITION
AUG/SEPT 2017 CRAFT BREWS AND NEWS WELCOME BACK! It’s almost that time of the year again when the leaves start changing & the air gets a bit colder. Football is here, the lattes become pumpkin spiced and the beers change as well. Make sure to check out our newest fall offerings in this newsletter. Our friends from Deschutes will finally be launching their beers in package starting the week of 8/21. Feel free to reach out to your salesperson to grab some of their delicious brews in bottles. Well, that’s it for now. Have a wonderful August and we will see you back here soon. THE UNITED SQUAD VISITS BALLAST POINT
Cheers! The Craft Team

In-market:
Wasabi Infused Blonde Ale
Sumo Danko vs. King Dragon Fish: Two men enter, one man leaves.
Sumo Danko hails from the backhills of Georgia, is feared and revered for his fists of fury, oversized sack of hops, low-grade narcolepsy, and a penchant for buggery. King Dragon Fish is a mountain dweller from TaHellYaRide, with an insane ability to break trees with his ankles, occasional bouts with gout and high altitude tommy boy foolishness; usually found face down.
The fighters strapped on their mawashis and laid the base for the brawl with 2-Row Wheat, Carapils, Oat Flakes and Rye – both Sumos anticipating a high alc 7.5% ABV encounter. Sensing hop superiority, Danko charged forward, slapping bellies with Dragon Fish, delivering a fresh wasabi chop that blew out his mawashi. The wasabi blast finished it off with a stinging euphoria that opened the Sumos’ senses, cleared their minds, and made them want to jump in for round two.
Availability: Cans: 4pk – 16oz cans Draft: ½ bbl, 1/6 bbl, 15.5 Gallon Kegs, 5.2 Gallon Torpedo Kegs.
Malts: 2-Row, Wheat, Carapils, Rye Malt, Oat Flakes Other: Wasabi Hops: Magnum, Saaz, Sorachi Ace Dry Hop: 15.5 Gallon ABV: 7.5% IBU’s: 27 Bottle Conditioned and best within 120 days
