Otter Creek Backseat Burner

Guaranteed this is epic...and deliucious

 

Really dig what Otter Creek is doing with their Brewmaster series and what looks to be continued with Backseat Burner.

From the Otter Creek website:

This brew clocks in at 7% ABV with 68 IBUs, so load up your buds and partake in this juicy exploration of American hops.

*Available on draught beginning in mid-March and in six-packs, 12-packs and cases this April.

 

If this is half as good as Citra Mantra I'll be buying a lot of it.

 

Apparently there's also going to be an APA called Over Easy and they're both going to be year-round

 

Hell yes.

 

Something tells me hangin' out w/Mike and Oslo is well, a damn good time....

New brews sound tasty.

 

They brought some to the Beer & Cheese Fest in Boston a couple weeks back. It was solid, not mind-blowing, though I'm looking forward to trying it again when I haven't just had some Pretty Things Cutie Pie & Mayflower Alden. :-)

 

I got to do so about 6 years ago, and it was.

 

Nice

Fresh slice is in the series and came out in 12 packs of cans last year. Would be cool to get Over Easy in that format if it's good. I need an alternate to Left of the Dial.

 

both sound fantastic. love that guy's hoppy beers.

 

And here I was just happy to be digging Citra Mantra again.

Otter Creek's really been putting out great new stuff in the past year or so.

 

Both are year-round brews. They canceled Copper Ale, Black IPA, and Hop Session Ales to make room for these 2 new year-round beer.

 

As they should have years ago...though I do have fond memories of both from years and years back

 

I actually loved Copper Ale as a throwback kind of beer. Like, "man remember what east coast craft beer was like 10+ years ago". Both Copper and the the Black IPA were great for the style, but tastes change.

 

They are all owned by the same company, Longtrail is in Bridgewater Corners and Wolavers and Otter Creek are brewed in the same location in Middlebury. Every once and a while beers for one brand are brewed at the other facility for some reason, the only way to tell is if your familiar with both of their bottle dating codes.

That Otter Creek IRS is the best OC beer I've ever had and I really hope they make it again, the Maple Liqueur Barrel aged version was pretty tasty too.

 

The Shed beer is also brewed as a brand at OCB in Middlebury.

 

has there been a new batch or is it still the 12/2012 batch that they seem to have every year (and is awesome!)?
