The Hourglass Brewery of Longwood is definitely working to keep momentum going. The Orlando-area brewery has announced two new beer for April and some further talk on their expansion.
From The Hourglass Brewery Newsletter:
We will also be tapping a couple of NEW BEERS in April:
Beatrijs, a Belgian Dubbel ale, brewed with European Red Gooseberries. Gooseberries are a very popular fruit in Belgium and are prized for their natural tartness, similar in character to a currant. It is named for the legend of the nun Beatrijs, considered one of the greatest masterpieces of Middle Dutch Literature.
Foreelzies, our new Strawberry Ale, brewed with 10 lbs per bbl of 100% fresh strawberries. The result is a refreshing wheat ale with a dry but distinct strawberry character.
Not to be outdone, Hourglass is now talking about a larger distribution footprint as well:
Speaking of new beer, the brewery expansion is well underway! If you’ve been in the taproom recently, you may have noticed the new (and HUGE) tanks that were recently installed. Because of the added production capacity, our beer is going out at an unprecedented volume! We have Hourglass beer being distributed across Florida.
