Snake River Releases Le Serpent January 21!
Brew Master, Cory Buenning along with a town full of beer enthusiasts have been waiting over 1 year for the release of “Le Serpent” from the cellars of Snake River Brewing Company. Festivities begin @ SRB THURSDAY, January 21st at 5:00 pm!!
In 2008, Buenning purchased six French oak white wine barrels from California, augmenting an aged-beer program at Snake River that previously only utilized bourbon barrels. “Beer is such a complex animal and I’ve strived to incorporate as many styles of international beers within our brewery” states Buenning. “These casks allow us to experiment and create a myriad of incredible aged beers although it may take over a year for them to come to fruition.”
On January 21st at 5:00 pm, Buenning will be releasing a VERY limited quantity on draught at “The Pub” as well as having a small amount in 750 ml Champagne bottles available for purchase.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Inspired by the Belgian sour ales of West Flanders, Le Serpent has a distinct sharp acidity & complexity. Each batch is brewed only once a year and aged in French oak. A mixed culture of “wild” organisms are used in fermentation making each batch truly unique. Le Serpent was kegged and hand-bottled in very limited quantities. Unveiling of Le Serpent will be on January 21st, 2010 Be sure to get to Snake River to get some of this one of a kind brew!!
Later this year, Buenning will release his next barrel-aged brew “Le Serpent Cerise”, where Washington Cherries were added by hand to “Le Serpent” during fermentation.
