Q1 PRIVATE COLLECTION: WINTRY MIX
WINTER 2019 | AVAILABLE JAN. – MAR.
Autumn has arrived and so has the opportunity to brew new seasonal styles as we wind down from the sours and sessions of summertime. This Private Collection offers a fresh pairing of strains for cooler days and palates seeking more body and complexity, without compromising approachability.
This winter welcomes our first quarter of 2019 Private Collection strains, inspired by the Pacific Northwest’s ever-changing forecast of “wintry mix” and available exclusively at Wyeast. Our West Coast IPA, Pilsner Urquell H-Strain, and Munich Lager II provide balanced characteristics for styles as varied as the weather ahead. Whatever your plans may be for brewing, we hope to inspire new seasonal traditions with crisp, drinkable beers among the rich stouts and barrel-aged behemoths during these colder months.
These strains are available to order starting December 26th for all Retail customers. Shipments will begin the first week of January. Commercial customers are encouraged to order these strains during this quarter for shorter lead times!
