PARTICIPATING BREWERIES
Common Roots Brewing Company
HOST: Christian Weber (Co-Founder/President, Common Roots Brewing Company)
BEERS
Original Concept • New England IPA • 6.5% ABV
Original Concept is a New England style IPA brewed with some of our favorite Pacific Northwest Hops. Double dry-hop additions of Citra, Mosaic and El Dorado delight the palate with bursts of orange marmalade, white grapefruit and juicy tangerine.
Tasteful Deception Mixed Berry • Wild Ale • 5.8% ABV
Dry-hopped American Wild Ale conditioned on Raspberry, Strawberry and Boysenberry. Tasty, juicy and thirst-quenching.
Brewery at the CIA
HOSTS: Hutch Kugeman (Head Brewer, Brewery at the CIA),
John Fischer (Professor of Hospitality and Service Management, CIA)
BEERS
Mise en Place Wit • Belgian-style Witbier • 4.5% ABV • 15 IBUs
This traditional Belgian Wit is brewed with unmalted wheat, coriander, and orange peel, to yield a light bodied and pleasantly spicy beer with a dry crisp finish.
xxxxx Lager • Vienna Lager • 5.7% ABV • 20 IBUs
Featuring German malts to add toasty malt aromas and Mandarina Bavaria hops to add subtle citrus notes this amber lager is balanced and drinkable.
Resurgence Brewing Company
HOSTS: Jeff Ware (President), Drew Zach (Director of Operations)
BEERS
Tiny Juice Monsters • Buffalo Style IPA • 5.9% ABV
Buffalo Style IPA (New England IPA with a little more bitterness) brewed with Mosaic, Citra and Simcoe hops.
Ward Rainbow Sour • Fruited Sour Ale • 5% ABV
Our Chicago St Brewery is located in Buffalo’s Old First Ward, and this beer highlights our connection to this area - along with the many different fruits in this sour. Very sessionable sour that packs a fruit punch. The main fruits are Sweet Cherry and Raspberry, but also hints of pineapple, guava and lime. And just to top it off, we threw a copious amount of cereal marshmallows into the beer to balance off sweet and sour.
THE COLLAB
New York Stout of Mind • Pastry Stout • 7% ABV
A full-bodied Stout brewed in collaboration by Common Roots Brewing Company, Resurgence Brewing Company, and the Brewery at the CIA in support of the New York State Brewing Association's Virtual Tasting Series.
NYS Maple-syrup glazed Aji Amarillo peppers bring together a signature sweetness and a Southern Hemisphere spice that ushers in a New York Stout of Mind.
In addition to receiving the collaboration beer, each box will also contain two unique beers (one 16oz can of each) from each brewery.
