DuClaw Brewing Company, a Baltimore-based beer maker that has made a name for itself with its innovative and creative takes of beer for a quarter of a century, has launched a marvelous new beer collection that is designed to help beer lovers get through the festive season and cold weather.
The beer collection is headlined by Spruce Willis, a heavily hopped double-IPA that features the use of genuine spruce tips along with hints of mango, grapefruit and wintergreen, and clearly takes a stance on the long-debated issue around whether 'Die Hard' is a Christmas movie. Stout lovers may gravitate towards the PastryArchy Macchiato Milk Stout, while lovers of more sour and fruity beers may want to pick up some of the Sour Me Pomegranate, Passion Fruit & Plum offering.
Dave Benfield, founder and CEO of DuClaw Brewing Company, said this trio of beers was borne out of a desire to "create a little something for everyone that honored timeless holiday flavors but stayed true to our roots of exploring creative ingredients and making new traditions."
