Costa Rica Craft Beer Brewing Company Announces Seasonal …

CARTAGO – Costa Rica Craft Beer Brewing Company, a microbrewery dedicated to limited production of known craft beers like Libertas Tropical Golden Ale and Segua Red Ale is proud to announce that a new Belgian Ale will soon be ready for tasting and enjoyment. The difference between this new beer and the company’s previous seasonal offerings is in the special brewer’s yeast imported directly from Belgium, which has different qualities that make this Pale Ale unique, according to master brewer CS Derrick:

“We started the year with the first wheat and cas fruit (similar to guava) beer made in Costa Rica, and it was with this special brew that we were honored during the visit of the famous Chef Adrian Ferra to our country. We followed with the release of a pleasantly bitter and robust India Pale Ale and finished with a unique dark oatmeal cream stout aged in a cask of Ron Centenario for 30 days. Now we are proud to bring you this Belgian Pale Ale.”

The idea behind seasonal brews is to present a diversity in options to our restaurant and bar clients, and more importantly to educate Ticos in the art of brewing and the versatility of this ancient beverage, commented Peter Gilman, General Manager of the Cartago microbrewery.

Master Brewer CS Derrick added the following commentary regarding this Likeer Belgian Pale Ale style beer:

“Ever been to Belgium? If not, you are in luck because we are truly bringing you a bit of the country. This medium-bodied and copper-colored beer is brewed with a traditional Belgian yeast that produces spiced aromas during the unfiltered fermentation and conditioning stage. The combination is spicy and dry, with a complex hint of wine grapes, green apples, and a slightly alcoholic taste. The alcohol content is 5.7 percent.”

This seasonal Belgian Pale Ale will be available only from the cask in limited quantities. Interested beer connoisseurs can get more information from Facebook Timeline of Costa Rica Craft Brewing Company.

Earlier in May, the Costa Rica Craft Brewing Company was one of the participating microbreweries in the 2012 World Beer Cup.
