For months the brewery has been jam-packed with excitement and we just can’t leave this juicy news alone anymore, so we won’t! We’re pumped to announce that Indeed fan favorite Strawberry Fields will join our adventurous lineup of canned beer in late January 2018.

Strawberry Fields was initially released in May 2016 as part of our BFF (Brewery Friends Forever) New Belgium’s “Beers with Vrienden” collaboration series. After gaining a super strong following (yes, we saw your tweets… and your emails… and your handwritten letters), we decided to get the green light to brew it on our own.

“We liked Strawberry Fields so much we got the okay to reprise it,” says our Head Brewer Josh Bischoff. “We kettle sour it with our house Lactobacillus strain, then add Belma hops for their strawberry characteristics. Once the fermentation gets going, we add generous amounts of strawberry.”

The finished product is a light, crisp, and refreshingly tart brew with notes of strawberry and citrus. A perfect pick for both beginning and experienced sour beer drinkers, Strawberry Fields will release on draft and in 12 oz. cans the week of January 22nd. To top it all off with a cherry (or a berry), the cans will feature brand new designs from local artist Chuck U, and look for a painting of the can artwork coming to the taproom soon!

Join us for the release of our Sour Ale at Lone Oak Grill in Eagan on January 25th, starting at 3pm. We’ll tap Strawberry Fields along with several other berry-inspired brews including: Double Chocolate Raspberry Stir Crazy Porter, Blueberry B-Side Pils, and Wooden Soul: In the Thicket, a Wood-Aged Sour Golden Ale with Raspberries.

Strawberry Fields will be a limited release beer, available for only a short time. Be sure to pick it up before it’s gone!
