Iron Hill bottles
By my count, Iron Hill has won 5 Great American Beer Festival medals for its distinctive lambic beers. Chances are, though, you’ve never had an opportunity to taste them because they’re rarely served at their brewpubs.
Word arrived today, however, that Iron Hill will release four of its lambic styles in bottles. In addition to its Kreik de Hill, you’ll be able to get your hands on 750ml bottles of their Framboise, Cassis and straight Lambic. They’re a bit steep at $24.50 (375ml @ $13), but I can tell you these are primo beers that hold their own against traditional Belgian lambics in the same price range.
The bottles will be available at just two of the Iron Hill locations following a pair of kickoff tastings, where you can sample the flavors and chat with the brewers.
- Saturday, Dec. 6, 2-5 p.m. at Iron Hill Wilmington (710 South Madison St.). Brewer Brian Finn will have all four of the lambic style beers available for sale in 750 mL bottles.
- Saturday, Dec. 13, from 2 to 5 p.m. at Iron Hill Media (30 East State St.). Brewer Bob Barrar will have the lambic available for sale in 750 mL bottles and Kreik and Framboise in a smaller, 375 mL size.
