Recently received: Von Ebert, Firestone Walker, Clausthaler, 10 Barrel

A compilation of a number of beers I’ve recently received that I’m behind on posting:

Von Ebert Brewing: Pils, Sector 7 Hazy IPA, Volatile Substance IPA

Received: Beers from Von Ebert Brewing

Last month, Von Ebert’s Pils won gold at the World Beer Cup in the German-style Pilsener category, and both Sector 7 and Volatile Substance are highly regarded (and award-winning) beers as well. The cans are sporting new designs, offering a flashy upgrade from the previous branding. I’ve reviewed Volatile Substance in the past, but I’ve not had either of the other two.

Firestone Walker Brewing: 805 Beer in limited-edition “USA” cans

Received: Firestone Walker Brewing 805 Beer, limited edition

Firestone Walker is pushing its popular 805 Beer for summer, and this is that beer (“regular” 805) in special limited edition cans. The details on them:

805 Beer has just launched an all-new limited-edition USA can packaging designed by illustrator and tattoo artist Thomas Fernandez. Traced simply by Fernandez’s black ink brush and chrome-quill pen, these cans retain the classic 805 branded black and white color scheme, flying into your warm days and cool ice chests with a patriotic eagle.

Clausthaler ISO 0.0 Non-Alcoholic Beer

Received: Clausthaler ISO Non-Alcoholic Beer

Clausthaler is one of the original non-alcoholic beer producers, and the company is positioning its new ISO 0.0 as a refreshing rehydrator to drink after exercising. I’m not sure how that’s so different from the company’s other non-alcoholic beers, but it does have a bit more sugars and protein in it, according to the product page. The description says:

Perfectly providing tasteful refreshment for active people looking to reward themselves with a high quality, great tasting 0.0% brew. Clausthaler ISO 0.0% is the tasteful, exciting and healthy option to refuel and hydrate your body after exercising and being active.

10 Barrel Brewing: Agria Morada

Received: 10 Barrel Brewing Agria Morada

Part of the tinyHaus specialty series from 10 Barrel, Agria Morada is the 12th in the series and brewed with an unusual medley of ingredients:

This exciting Sour Ale was inspired by the refreshing Peruvian drink “Chicha Morado”. After a cereal mash of purple corn and lactobacilus souring, the beer is given a hefty dose of pineapple, a touch of Quince, and a blend of spices to create an enticing aroma. A post fermentation addition of butterfly pea flowers helps enhance the vibrant purple color.

Definitely interesting and one of the more unusual ones!
