🍺 Arizona Wilderness Brewing, which was named the “Top New Brewers In The World” by RateBeer.com in 2013, celebrates its 10-year anniversary with 10 special beer releases Thursday through Sunday.
Throwback Thursday: AZW brings back three of its most legendary beers out of retirement:
- Baboquivari Blonde Ale: A Belgian-style blonde ale brewed with Rango Honey.
- Big Guy Rye: A double rye IPA with Centennial, Nelson Sauvin, and Amarillo hops.
- Suit-N-Tie: A hazy IPA with Cascade, Simcoe, and Mosaic hops, fermented with Sacc. Trois yeast.
Black Friday: The release of three imperial stouts:
- Battle Axe: A brutal imperial stout aged in Scotch barrels for smooth, peaty smokiness.
- Evening Hymn: A draft-only release of a beer packaged exclusively for AZW’s Cellar Co-op members.
- German Chocolate American Presidential Stout: A contest-winning variant of AZW’s annual President’s Day imperial stout.
Triple Dreamsicle Saturday: A triple IPA version (10.2% ABV) of AZW’s limited Dreamsicle IPA made with Agritopia oranges (pictured).
Woody Sunday: Two releases from AZW’s Woodnotes Cellar:
- Counoise Piquette: A mixed-culture sour ale rested on second-use Counoise grapes from Page Springs Cellars’ Colibri Vineyard.
- Through Endless Ages: A Franco-Belgian inspired mixed-culture saison dry-hopped with whole-cone Cascade hops that were aged four years.
Thursday through Saturday releases will be available at AWZW’s flagship Gilbert brewpub and downtown Phoenix beer garden. Sunday’s releases will be at Woodnotes Cellar across the street from the Gilbert brewpub.
