(San Marcos, CA) - The Lost Abbey has a post on their website about the return of their Hop-15 Double IPA. Apparently this return was due to popular demand on a vote held by the brewery. The date of return is March 12th. More details below...
From the Lost Abbey website:
3/12 = 15
Hop 15 returns in a big way in March, 2012
The Hop Heads have spoken!
Out of just about 500 votes, nearly 90% of you wanted Hop 15 back. What’s more, most of you aren’t going to stand for this “oh it’s out there, but you can’t get it because it’s so limited.” No, you want it back in a big way – bottles and draft from coast to coast.
So that’s what you’re going to get.
We just got word from Production Head Honcho Gwen that the brewers will be clearing the decks at the end of this month and the first part of March to brew not one, but four – count `em, 4 – big, fat batches of Hop 15. (Some of the brewers aren’t so excited about having to make 60 trips up the brew platform — 15 hopping sessions per batch — but they could probably use the exercise anyway.)
With a run that big that means there’ll be enough to fill taps and shelves in all of our distribution regions north, south east and west!
Look for the Port Brewing fleet of hop bombers to be filling the skies over your neck of the woods in mid-to-late March.

(Salt Lake City, UT) - The Utah Beer Blog has a post regarding the Uinta Brewing Birthday Suit Sour Cherry Ale. Release has been set for late February or early March. More details below...
From the Utah Beer Blog post:
Uinta Reveals their Birthday Suit
"In the beginning, cherry trees shaded the beer garden. Resisting temptation no longer they picked the fruit and let it ferment in to a pleasingly sour and subtly sweet ale".
These are the words accompanying the bottle on the sixth addition to Uinta's Crooked Line of beers. It's the latest sour beer to come out of Utah. Originally brewed last summer, Birthday Suit was made to help celebrate Uinta's 19th birthday.
Birthday Suit is a Sour Cherry Ale with a hint of Belgian influence. Made with the latest "sour mash" techniques, this beer takes its sour base and fuses it with the natural tartness and tannins from the cherries to make an extremely quaffable and sessionable sour ale. "A sinful pleasure for the experienced and adventurous pallet".
This special bottle conditioned brew will come in at 5.7% ABV and be packaged in the Cooked Line's signature, corked and caged 750ml bottles.
Local artist, Travis Bone designed the label for Birthday Suit. He also did the artwork for Uinta's Cockeyed Cooper.
Birthday Suit is due to be released; end of February/beginning of March.
Cheers!

(Milton, DE) - Dogfish Head has a new "beer" called Positive Contact. I used the quotes there intentionally, as this one is a hybrid beer and cider. Much more details below...
From the Dogfish Head website:
Positive Contact: A collision of hip-hop, beer, cider and culinary exploration
Deltron 3030 is an adventurous hip-hop collaboration between Dan and Del the Funkee Homosapien. Deltron's self-titled debut album, released in 2000, was an instant classic and is included on many hip-hop best-of lists. It got an 8/10 rating on NME, which called it "a crazed sci-fi journey to Planet B.S. that takes myriad detours around the galaxy. The most purely enjoyable hip-hop album of 2000."
Over a decade in the making, the new Deltron 3030 album is set to drop this spring, and Positive Contact was brewed to celebrate the release.
Named after a key track on the first album, Positive Contact is a 9% ABV hybrid of beer and cider brewed with wood-pressed Fuji apples, roasted farro, a handful of cayenne peppers and a late dose of fresh cilantro. This sweet-and-sour Belgian-ish brew is a light straw color with fruity, cider-like notes. The cayenne and alcohol give it a warming finish.
The beer will be released in a dynamic box set of six 750-ml champagne bottles, with a 10-inch vinyl EP of four new Deltron 3030 remixes created exclusively for this project, and a list of Deltron 3030-inspired recipes from a small group of renowned chefs (see below). Invite some friends over, rock the album, drink the beer and whip up a multi-course meal. It's a house party in a box.
Positive Contact box sets will be released in May throughout Dogfish Head's distribution network, in accordance with local and state laws. Stay tuned.
