Darwin Brewing Company of Bradenton has teamed up with Rivertowne Brewing of Pittsburgh, PA to create a beer that looks to show off a thing or two about craft beer.
The beer is a red beer brewed with Aji Limo peppers from the Amazon. This collaboration spans the distance between the two breweries and showcases the differences that yeast can make in a beer.
From Darwin Brewing Company:
Distance between friends doesn’t matter when two passionate breweries come to the pub with serious creativity built on a foundation of solid liquid. Darwin Brewing (Bradenton FL) and Rivertowne Brewing (Pittsburgh PA) companies are proud to offer you the same recipe brewed as both a Lager (L) and an Ale (A). Aji Limo Rojo (R or L on the label) is an incredibly complex Red (Rojo) brewed with Aji Limo peppers from the Amazon. The malt journey enjoys the combination of 8 different varieties of malt that glide into the sweet heat these peppers magically impart. 1060 miles, different breweries, and different water supplies didn’t stop the brewers from either brewery from nailing the specs. These essentially identical worts were fermented in the north with and Ale yeast and the south with the Lager. Enjoy each and celebrate the science of brewing and the prosperity of genuine friendship!
The beer will be released in Florida at the Darwin Brewing Company Tasting Room at 7pm on Wednesday, February 24th at 7pm. The Darwin Brewing Company tasting room is located at 803 17th Avenue West in Bradenton.
