Anno Quinto Bottle Release Party
Our 5th-Year Anniversary is just around the corner. The brewery has grown quickly over the past 5 years. We tasked our brewers to design a beer that really embodies that feeling. And, on 7/26/15 you can join us for the official Bottle Release Party here at Mike Hess Brewing North Park.
Anno Quinto, the Latin translation for fifth anniversary, is our take on an American Strong Ale. We started with a recipe that's fairly true to style: layers of Pale, Munich, Crystal, and Special B malts provide a flavorful backbone which we piled on layers of Apollo, Cascade and Centennial hops. The end result is a boldly bitter strong ale with waves of toffee, pine, caramel, and citrus.
We are happy with how this beer is drinking fresh off the brite tank. What we're really excited about is how we expect this beer to age. This beer should be excellent at 6 months, a year, and even 2 years. At 7.9% it is plenty strong enough to squirrel away. We expect some of the sharp, punchy flavors of the young beer to mellow out and reveal a nutty depth with hints of orange, spice, chai, and possibly maple syrup as it ages.
We released a massive Triple IPA last year which was designed to be drank young. Recently we have seen that beer popping up on social media and wanted this year's release to sand the test of time. Anno Quinto will evolve, just like our brewery, and improve over the years.
We doubt we'll have the patience to hold this beer for the next 5 years, but were excited for the potential flavors that will emerge. We're keeping the price point for this bottle at a very reasonable $6.99. Additionally we're discounting full cases of twelve (12) 22oz. bottles for those of you looking to cellar this beer.
