Alpine beers debut in New York next week

Late last year, tiny Southern California outlet Alpine Beer Company announced that it would be acquired by Green Flash Brewing Company. The benefits of the deal would mean more Alpine Beer produced in Green Flash’s brewing facility and better distribution through their much larger network. When we visited San Diego in December, we were already reaping the benefits by getting to sample the Alpine Duet in Green Flash’s tasting room. Now, those benefits will be reaped by New York beer drinkers – Alpine is coming to the East Coast.

Beginning next week, some of Alpine’s better-known beers will arrive on New York’s taps at events celebrating the debut. Among the beers they’re bringing along for the ride: the Alpine Ale, their flagship Pale Ale, Duet, their IPA made with Simcoe and Amarillo hops, Hoppy Birthday, their sessionable pale ale, Captain Stout, their dry oatmeal stout, and Nelson, their golden rye ale brewed with Nelson Sauvin hops that was recently named one of the top beers in the world by RateBeer.

Here are the events where you can find Alpine beers later this month, along with some great Green Flash beers, too:
