Public Coast Brewing celebrates summer with a beer trio (received)
This week I received several beers from Public Coast Brewing, representing a summertime trio with two seasonal specialties and a year-round standard. They were sent as part of the company’s summer marketing, and accompanied by the press release below.
The beers are the year-round ’67 Blonde Ale, what I’d probably consider the brewery’s flagship, along with the returning Blueberry Wheat Ale featuring blueberries grown at the Public Coast Farm, and the new Mango Jalapeño Tart Ale, peppers for which were also grown at the Farm.
Here’s the press release with more details:
Cannon Beach’s popular brewery debuts new Mango Jalapeño Tart Ale, welcomes the return of seasonal Blueberry Wheat Ale and highlights year-round favorite Blonde Ale
Public Coast Brewing Co. is releasing a refreshing lineup of brews that are sure to inspire and quench this summer season. The popular Oregon Coast brewery is debuting an adventurous Mango Jalapeño Tart Ale, a tropical blend of Oregon-grown peppers and Hawaiian mangoes that takes inspiration from the guaranteed public beach access in both Hawaiii and Oregon. The second release marks the return of seasonal favorite Public Coast Farm Blueberry Wheat Ale, which features blueberries from the brewery’s own Public Coast Farm. Lastly, the brewery is highlighting its award-winning ’67 Blonde Ale, a year-round classic known for a clean and crisp profile that’s perfect for Oregon’s carefree summer days.
“Whether beer lovers are looking for a playful twist on a sour, a catch-and-release beer celebrating Oregon’s summer bounty, or the quintessential blonde ale, we have them covered,” said Will Leroux, Public Coast’s head brewmaster. “We’re especially excited to debut the Mango Jalapeño Tart Ale, which is the newest addition to our adventurous Sour Series — it was made for enthusiasts who savor tart, juicy beers with layers of nuanced flavor.”
The new Mango Jalapeño Tart Ale, a 5.7% ABV radiant blend of Public Coast Farm’s poblano peppers paired with Hawaiian-grown mangoes, offers an innovative American-style sour beer that delivers tropical and warm aromas, a light body, and a tart, dry finish.
Continuing the tradition of the brewery’s Farmstand Series, the annual return of the Public Coast Farm Blueberry Wheat Ale offers a 5.4% ABV American wheat beer that exemplifies the essence of an Oregon summer day. This easy-drinking wheat ale delights with hints of ripe blueberries from Public Coast Farm and honey, taking one’s taste buds on a journey across the coastal farmlands of Oregon.
A consistent crowd-pleaser, the ’67 Blonde Ale, Public Coast Brewing Co.’s signature American Gold Ale, is a tribute to the remarkable year of 1967, when Oregon made the groundbreaking decision to designate the state’s beaches accessible to everyone. This award-winning brew, which claimed the Gold Award for Golden or Blonde Ale at the 2018 World Beer Cup, offers a 5.1% ABV easy drinker and excellent “gateway beer.” Clean, crisp, and light, the ‘67 Blonde Ale embodies the iconic nature of a golden ale.
