Tampa Bay Brewing Company teases releases of Imperial Gourds Gone Wild

Tampa Bay Brewing Company has one of the most unique names of a pumpkin beer on the market today in their Gourds Gone Wild Pumpkin Ale. But what happens when that beer has more flavor added and then it’s infused with Calvados- (apple brandy) soaked oak?

From Tampa Bay Brewing Company

C O M I N G S O O N – Brewed at our Ybor City Experimental and Small Batch Brewery – we present Imperial Gourds Gone Wild for your consideration.
.
Imperial Stout with fresh sugar pumpkins tossed in brown sugar, roasted in our ovens with pumpkin spices and aged on American Oak soaked in French Calvados.
.
Extremely limited run of 16oz, 4pack cans. Release date, price, and limits coming soon, stay tuned.

It will also be interesting to see what an “extremely limited” run yields, since their Son of a Motherless Goat gose yielded only 30 cases.

We will post more information as it becomes available.

About Tampa Bay Brewing Company

Established in 1995, TBBC has played a fundamental role in shaping the landscape of the Florida craft beer scene. We specialize in brewing flavorful and hop-centric IPAs, APAs, expressive sours, and juicy, fruit-forward Florida-weisse.
We operate two breweries; our original 10BBL brewery in historic Ybor City where we focus on small batch and limited releases and a 30BBL production brewery in northwest Tampa with the capability of producing and packaging up to 30,000 barrels per year. Both locations are open 7 days a week and feature a taproom, outdoor patio, and restaurants that utilize fresh and local ingredients to create menu items that accentuate our beers.
While we’ve been on the scene in Florida since the mid-90s, we’ve only recently offered our beer outside of our taprooms. We are humbled to have organically grown to be one of the largest independent, family owned and operated craft breweries in Florida and amongst the top 150 in total production nationwide.
Ultimately, we are on a simple mission to have fun and brew beer that we love to drink – and hope you’ll come along for the ride.

Grayton Beer Company releases Gourdgeous

Press Release:

Located in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., Grayton Beer Company is pleased to announce its newest seasonal beer, Gourdgeous, a limited-release beer which began pouring into retailers, bars and restaurants this week.

With an alcohol by volume (ABV) content of 5.4 percent, the new Gourdgeous beer was crafted with 300 pounds of fresh pumpkin pulp added to a classic ale base then delicately spiced with fresh ginger root, coriander, allspice and cinnamon sticks.

“This beer is perfectly balanced and will pair well with whatever fall fare you may choose,” says Head Brewer Brad “Shank” Shankwiler, who created the recipe for this beer. “This is one of my favorite recipes, and I look forward to brewing it every fall. I get a lot of people who don’t often like pumpkin beer, but Gourdgeous has light and subtle nuances of pumpkin without the overbearing taste. It was also such a beautiful looking beer, so I decided to call it Gourdgeous.”

Currently in draught in various bars and restaurants, Gourdgeous will also be Grayton’s first brew offered in 22 oz. bomber bottles, which will be available this week in locations that carry the South Walton brewery’s other beers. Gourdgeous will also be the first in Grayton’s “artist series” – a challenge Grayton Beer put out to local artists to design selected 22 oz.-labeled beers. The artwork used was created by Grayton Beer’s own brewer, Tyler White, and is a play on Grayton’s brew system using pumpkins in place of brewing vats. A portion of the proceeds will go toward art-based initiatives and charities in the Panhandle.

“We live in an area that is rich with artists, photographers, and musicians, and we wanted to pay tribute to this by displaying artwork on our larger bottles in place of a traditional bottle label,” says Grayton Beer Company President Jamey Price. “We’re excited about Gourdgeous and the artist series and look forward to displaying additional great local artwork in the future.”

Grayton Beer Company currently offers five other beers in its list of brews that range from the Amber Ale, which carries the name 1890 Founder’s Ale, the Belgian White, or Witbier, named White Dunes, the Pale Ale, Grayton’s flagship product – the Original, to the 30A Beach Blonde Ale, which incorporates 30A.com’s iconic blue logo.

Cigar City Brewpub Gourds of Thunder, Saint Somewhere collaboration

The Cigar City Brewpub’s brewer Tim Ogden has been working on new beers for the Northdale brewpub since opening earlier this year. Tim’s newest projects received updates this week from the brewpub, and Tim has been keeping busy.

Gourds of Thunder:

What is Gourds of Thunder? We wanted to make a festive ale for the holidays that we could make sessions of starting before Halloween and continuing well past solstice. Something we could pair with ice cream and or chocolate, as well as with a traditional holiday meal, or just by itself. At roughly 6% abv, this is easily a sessionable beer, brewed with chocolate rye, dark chocolate, butternut squash, calabaza, coriander, allspice and other subtle spices, and fermented with the brewpubs house Belgian yeast.

Gourds of Thunder is bottled and currently available at the CCB Brewpub.
