Q4 PRIVATE COLLECTION: ROBUST & RUDDY AUTUMN

FALL 2018 | AVAILABLE OCT. – DEC.

Autumn has arrived and so has the opportunity to brew new seasonal styles as we wind down from the sours and sessions of summertime. This Private Collection offers a fresh pairing of strains for cooler days and palates seeking more body and complexity, without compromising approachability.

Our 2782-PC Staro Prague Lager produces exceptional malt-forward German and Bohemian-style lagers that are classic brews this time of year. The versatility of 1581-PC Belgian Stout, like many of our Belgian strains, will complement the ester-forward strong ales and other specialty styles. Rounding out the collection, 9097-PC Old Ale Blend brings English heritage to your glass with a blend of Saccharomyces and a little Brettanomyces to emulate traditional British strong ales and barleywines. With its high alcohol tolerance and rich profile, this blend will create beers ideal for wintertime sipping in the months to come.

These strains are available to order anytime for commercial customers, with the benefit of shorter lead time during this PC quarter. Retail customers may begin placing orders for these strains starting October 1st. Find out more about which styles pair best with these strains at www.wyeastlab.com.
