E-Malt.com News article: USA, OR: Widmer Brothers Brewing to launch four new limited edition beers
Brewery news

Widmer Brothers Brewing has introduced four new limited release beers as part of the brewery’s fall lineup, Brew Bound reported on September 26.

Just in time for the cooler fall months ahead, the Portland-based brewery has released: Falconer’s IPA, the latest addition to the Rotator IPA Series; this year’s vintage of Old Embalmer Barleywine and a pinot noir barrel-aged version of Old Embalmer as part of the Brother’s Reserve Series; and Downward Spiral, an imperial India-style Pale Lager (IPL) aged on new oak spirals.

The release of Falconer’s IPA represents the third time this beer has been available as part of the Rotator IPA Series. Falconer’s IPA is an aggressively hopped Northwest IPA. Widmer Brothers has brewed the beer annually since 2011 and it has become a favourite in the series, but this release will be the last as the Falconer’s Flight hop is being retired after this year.

Old Embalmer Barleywine has been a brewery favourite since it was first brewed in 1999. This year’s version of the beer features a yet-to-be-named experimental hop variety. In conjunction with the annual barleywine release, Widmer Brothers has released Barrel-Aged Old Embalmer ’13, a version aged in pinot noir barrels from Patricia Green Cellars in Oregon’s Willamette Valley.

Downward Spiral is an imperial version of Widmer Brothers Hopside Down IPL aged on new oak spiral, and is the fourth new limited release from the brewery this fall. Cold fermenting with Widmer Brothers’ lager yeast gives Downward Spiral great balance with the clean, crisp finish of a lager.

Each of the four new releases is available for a limited time, in limited quantities.
