What better way to kick off our big beer newsletter than announcing the release of our newest Canis Major brew, Kerberos Tripel? Kerberos is the Greek name for the three-headed hellhound that guarded the gates of the underworld, making it more than worthy of protecting the contents of this bottle. Kerberos will be available this Spring and will join Gonzo Imperial Porter, Horn Dog Barley Wine and Double Dog Double Pale Ale in our Canis Major Series, a complex breed of big and bold beers.
We used the finest imported Pilsner malt and Belgian candi sugar to give this beer its’ light malt flavor and color, accented by the complex flavors and aromas imparted by our unique yeast strain.
Alcohol by Volume: 8.5%
Plato: 19
IBUs: 27
Specialty Malts: 2-Row Pilsner, Aromatic
Hops: German Perle, French Strisserspalt, Saaz

If only this were common practice with relationships. If variety is the spice of life, life just got a whole lot more scrumtrelescent.
