The new Exit plan.
I’m not a big fan of just plugging in news releases as I receive them in this valuable space, wanting to add my own touch and not just replicate what you’ll find on other venues across the internets. Plus confusion. If I can confuse a couple people, that’s always good.
Some days, though, it just needs to be done, even if it means passing up on a chance to make fun of Casey Hughes. So here it is, as written (but with a major and egregious spelling error fixed ’cause I make so many typos myself I cannot abide them from others):
Flying Fish Brewing Company is excited to announce the debut of their new Exit 16 Wild Rice Double IPA, the latest entry in their “Exit Series” of big-bottle beers honoring their home state of New Jersey. Exit 16 bottles will be available by mid-March and will also on be on draft in limited quantities throughout the region.
“Exit 16 is a fun, flavorful tribute to one of the Meadowlands’ indigenous food sources: wild rice,” says Flying Fish founder Gene Muller. “Even though the area is better known these days as home to pipelines, landfills, and some so-called New York sports teams, we see the beauty in the marsh landscape and wanted to celebrate its past and express our hope that it will be restored and preserved in the future.”
On Monday, March 8 from 6 to 8 pm, Flying Fish will hold an Exit 16 launch event in center city Philadelphia at McGillin’s Olde Ale House, on the second floor, with Muller and Head Brewer Casey Hughes tapping the first keg. Event will be pay-as-you-go.
Exit 16 Wild Rice Double IPA is named for the exit that leads travelers across the salt-marsh of the Meadowlands to the Sportsplex and Lincoln Tunnel. The beer was brewed with over 1,200 pounds of wild, organic brown and white rice, which helps the beer ferment dry to better showcase the five varieties of hops that are brewed in. It is later dry-hopped with generous additions of Chinook and Citra hops, creating a complex nose with hints of tangerine, mango, papaya and pine.
