E-Malt.com News article: USA, NY: Ithaca Beer Company releases Excelsior! Anniversary Sixteen

Ithaca Beer Co. is pleased to announce the release of Excelsior! Anniversary Sixteen on Wednesday December 4, 2013. Brewed with local wildflower honey, Sixteen is a Belgian inspired farmhouse ale dark as night yet beaming with rich flavours, Brewbound reported on December 3.

Ithaca Beer will continue the celebration with a Sixteen Tasting at the Ithaca Coffee Company and the Ithaca Ale House on December 5th.

As per tradition, Ithaca Beer releases its Excelsior! Anniversary beer one year in advance of the anniversary itself. December 4th marks 15 years of brewing at Ithaca Beer.

Over the last 15 years, Ithaca Beer has grown from a very small microbrewery with only local delivery to a 20,000-barrel (and growing) brewery distributing beer all over New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island, Connecticut and very soon, District of Columbia and parts of Virginia and Maryland. In October 2012, Ithaca Beer opened doors to a brand new brewery, Taproom and beer garden. More expansion in is the works for early 2014, when Ithaca Beer plans to increase fermentation capacity upward 75%.
