Pair O’ Dice Brewing announces the return of The Pit Boss Triple IPA

Press Release: Pair O’ Dice Brewing is excited to announce the return of The Pit Boss Triple IPA. This very limited imperial IPA will be released at the brewery on Friday, December 2nd on draft and this time in cans.

The Pit Boss Triple IPA is a big, juicy imperial IPA. Brewed with a blend of Amarillo, Apollo, Chinook, Mosaic and Simcoe hops, this 11.5% ABV IPA uses more than 4 pounds of hops per barrel. It pours a hazy straw color from the copious amount of hops and delivers an enormous amount of citrus and tropical fruit aromas and flavors followed by some resinous, dank goodness.

“I love IPAs and The Pit Boss Triple IPA is my masterpiece.” says Pair O’ Dice’s Head Brewer, Ken Rosenthal. “When I opened Pair O’ Dice Brewing 3 years ago I was inspired to bring fresh, hoppy, west coast style IPAs to Florida. As new hops varieties become available and the IPA market changes I’ve taken inspiration from the northeast as well. The Pit Boss Triple IPA blends the clean, hoppy, light bodied west coast imperial IPA with the juicy and fruity IPAs of New England. There is a distinct citrus and tropical fruit profile that I love about this beer. It tastes like hop candy and it’s a delicious damn imperial IPA.”

About Pair O’ Dice Brewing
When the craft beer scene was just emerging husband and wife team, Ken and Julia Rosenthal, would scour the country in search of their favorite brews. These travels led them to their specialty: aromatic and flavorful hop-forward West Coast-style ales. In 2013, the pair opened Clearwater’s first local microbrewery after perfecting their own recipes — all of which are designed from scratch and use Florida’s finest, naturally grown ingredients when possible. The name, Pair O’ Dice, is a play on the word “paradise” and it‘s how these native Floridians pay homage to their home state of Florida. Follow Pair O’ Dice Brewing on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to stay in-the-know or visit their website www.PairODiceBrewing.com for more company details. #GetAPair

Pair O Dice Brewing expands production with addition of canning line

Press Release: Pair O’ Dice Brewing has announced an expansion of their current facility, to include a new Wild Goose semi-automatic canning system that will allow them to produce 28-31 cans per minute. The system will be commissioned this week with fresh cans of Clearwater Honey Cream available to the public in the Tasting Room by Friday, August 5th.

“We had to earn our canning line,” said Pair O’ Dice Brewing Co-founder and Head Brewer Ken Rosenthal. “It’s just Julia and I. We don’t have big investors behind us telling us what to do, but that also means we don’t have access to a lot of extra cash flow for capital expenses. We’re excited to be able to expand our canning operations through the success of Pair O’ Dice. This investment will help us continue to produce the highest quality product we can.”

Pair O’ Dice Brewing began canning its award winning Clearwater Honey Cream and flagship Hop Bet Red IPA in 2015 to meet customer demand with the help of a mobile canner. Demand grew rapidly with can placements throughout Tampa Bay in major supermarkets and retailers such as Winn Dixie, Publix, Whole Foods, Total Wine, and ABC Fine Wine & Spirits.

The new canning system will allow Pair O’ Dice Brewing to improve its packaging process and quality. It will also give Pair O’ Dice the flexibility to can seasonal and limited release beers in the future.

Pair O’ Dice Brewing is known for its award-winning, balanced IPAs and ales brewed with local ingredients. These beers frequently rely on the use of difficult to source hops and fresh ingredients sourced exclusively in Florida, such as strawberries from Plant City and orange blossom honey from Haines City. Their beers are currently distributed in Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, Citrus, Hillsborough, Manatee, Sarasota, and Collier counties.

Pair O Dice Brewing is now available in Sarasota

Press Release: Pair O’ Dice Brewing has announced a partnership with Gold Coast Eagle Distributing, to distribute Pair O’ Dice beers throughout Manatee and Sarasota counties. The agreement brings Pair O’ Dice Brewing’s West Coast style IPAs and locally inspired ales south of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge for the first time.

“We’ve been building our brand for two years in our home market of Pinellas and Hillsborough to ensure that we have the capacity to meet demand,” said Pair O’ Dice Brewing Co-founder Julia Rosenthal. “We’re excited to be able to expand south and bring Pair O’ Dice to Manatee and Sarasota residents with Gold Coast Eagle Distributing as our partner.”

These beers frequently rely on the use of difficult to source hops and fresh ingredients grown exclusively in Florida, such as strawberries from Plant City and orange blossom honey from Haines City.

“At Pair O’ Dice Brewing, we make the beers that we like to drink. We don’t make beers that fit into a specific beer category,” explained Pair O’ Dice Brewing’s Head Brewer and Co-founder Ken Rosenthal II. “Our flagship IPA is the Hop Bet Red IPA. We’ve never been able to enter it into a competition because until this year there wasn’t a competitive beer category that it fit in. We just focus on making the beers that we enjoy consistently and with the highest quality possible.” Gold Coast Eagle Distributing is a Sarasota-based distributor of craft beer and AB/InBev.

Pair O’ Dice Brewing joins the distributor’s already strong lineup of local craft beers, including Big Top Brewing, Darwin Brewing, and Motorworks Brewing.

Pair O’ Dice Brewing will be distributing their lineup of Core, Seasonal, and limited quantities of their Hop Streak Series beers. The initial lineup will include their Clearwater Honey Cream, Hop Bet Red IPA, Little Joe Stout, Cascade Amber, and Monster Roll IPA.

Pair O Dice Brewing needs help renaming Let It Rye’d

Clearwater’s Pair O Dice Brewing is in a conundrum. They love their Let It Rye’d ale, but someone else has claimed the copyright for it. So their decision has become one that will be chosen by $50,000- do they argue or do they invest the money in making the brewery run.

Here is the word directly from Pair O Dice Brewing:

In order to defend “Let it Rye’d” in our market, it would cost an estimated $50,000. And although we love this cleverly named brew, we’d rather spend the money on creating new beers, working on our canning line and paying our employees.

In the collaborative and the creative spirit of craft beer, Pair O Dice is turning lemons into lemoncello, and opening up the naming process to their creative fans.

How can you get in on the action?

Between now and August 16, 2015, we want you to create a new name for this beloved beer.

Here are the beer stats you’ll need to know:

An IPA brewed with rye. It showcases the dry and spicy characteristics of the rye and balances that with slightly sweet caramel malts and tropical and piney notes from the use of Mosaic hops. The aromas and flavors of each ingredient come together to create a balanced and satisfying medium bodied IPA.

Things to keep in mind:

Google a potential name before submitting it. Existing names will be automatically eliminated. Even phonetically similar names will be tossed. (Duh.)
We have a gambling theme to our brand and most of our beer names. Specifically a Craps theme. It’s not a deal-breaker if you don’t use the gambling theme in your name – just something to consider.
We’re edgy, but we’re not inappropriate. No pervs or potty-mouths. Suggestive names okay.

How to enter a name (choose one):

*Use THIS FORM and follow the very easy instructions.
*Tweet us @pairodicebrew with your name suggestion and hashtag #GetAPairName
*Email courtney@pairodicebrewing.com with the subject line: BEER NAME and the email body: the name of the beer. NOTHING MORE.
*Stop by our tap room for a pint and write down your suggestion. We have a collection box.

We’ll close the contest at the close of the brewery (7 p.m.) on Sunday, August 16.

Then what?

Our team at Pair O’ Dice will choose our top 5 favorites and post them on our social media profiles on Friday, August 21. The name that gets the most comments and likes across our different platforms will be the winner.* Final winner chosen on Monday, August 31.

We will announce the winner on Tuesday, September, 1 via our blog and social media profiles.

What winners get:

Clout among fellow beer nerds
The warm, fuzzy feeling associated with doing something cool
A Pair O’ Dice t-shirt, stickers, various swag items
The first pour of the beer you named

And that’s it!

We’re definitely sad to see Let It Rye’d retire, but we’re excited about a new name inspired by the people who love to drink it most: you all.
