Green Cheek Beer Co. has a message for you, Salty Message is a new release German-Style Sour with both Pink Salt & Magnolia Scented Tea coming in at a light 4.5% ABV.

Here is the info from the brewery, “Our new school approach to this classic Leipzig Gose style, uses a mash of unmalted wheat and pilsner malt, as well a natural souring process, to create the perfect base to steep lots of rolled oolong tea that has been scented with magnolia flowers. It’s refreshingly sour and salty, with all the vibes of magnolia flowers and a jasmine-like character from sniff to sip.”

Sesquicentennial

Here in Los Angeles, we will see Chimay here and there but the one that I am still looking for is green.

This big 10% beer was first brewed back in 2012 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the brewery at Scourmont Abbey. It pops up here and there and should be on any craft beer fans radar.

Golden Carrot

One sub-style / variant that I am fond of is the Golden Milk Stout. One cake that I am not fond of is carrot cake.  But oddly, this….

….from Harland Beer has piqued my curiosity because if the sweetness level can be kept in check, it might be a great flavor combo.

To Remember

The Bruery has another real big beer on the way aged in an uncommon barrel.  The Madeira Affair is exactly that, a “Madeira barrel-aged imperial stout that will float in at the way high 18.1% ABV.”

“This imperial stout, imbued with the spirit of the Madeira Islands, erupts with aromas of dark red berries, oak, and chocolate.Embark on a flavor expedition with notes of jammy fruit, dark chocolate, and vanilla, leading to a robust, bold, and dry finish.”

For Jimmy

I know that craft beer world may not need another charity beer right at the second. Especially here in Los Angeles, where there are quite a few wildfire charity beers out and about (that y’all should be getting).

from WNEP website

But…. I would like to see a few Jimmy Carter beers like this one from Wallenpaupack Brewing in Pennsylvania. “Jimmy” beer, in the American pale lager style. A callback to his brothers infamous “Billy” beer.
