E-Malt.com News article: USA, CO: Twisted Pine Brewing releases sixth edition within Artisan Ale Project
Brewery news

The production team at Twisted Pine Brewing Company has been busy in 2012. In addition to increasing the supply of staple offerings, Twisted Pine’s brewers have produced several seasonal beers and on June 2nd released the sixth edition in their popular Artisan Ale Project in just six months, CraftBeer.com reports.


Unlike traditional straw-colored, low gravity Saisons, Black Swan was darkened with special Belgian and German malts and strengthened to 7.7% ABV with natural brown sugars. Roasted malt and molasses mingle on the tongue with fragrant farmhouse esters for a flavor that Twisted Pine describes as “bold and rich, yet smooth as it glides across the palate as gracefully as the bird for which it was named.”


Esteemed Boulder artist Phil Lewis designed the piece featured on Black Swan’s label.


The Artisan Ale Project is Twisted Pine’s “year-long celebration of the artistic creativity which makes Colorado unique.” Each month in 2012, a different beer is labeled with work by an inspired local artist and a distinctive new beer is born. Furthermore, each beer release doubles as an art show for the month’s featured artist. Surreal Stout, Canis Lupulus and West Bound Braggot are just a few of the standouts so far in the series. Artisan Ales are only available in Colorado.
