Beer Release: NW: Coming Soon … New Belgium Accumulation White IPA

Accumulation_12oz_Bottle_Shot 2In the minds of the beer drinker there is only one thing that pairs well with cold weather or the Winter time - dark beer. You only have to visit breweries and bars throughout the area confirm the consensus.

Then again New Belgium isn't a brewery from the Northwest. Truth is New Belgium isn't from the Northwest. In fact New Belgium, from Fort Collins in Colorado, knows a thing or two about cold weather. Which is probably why they have announced the anti-Winter beer.

Call it cynicism, call it hubris, but the brewers at New Belgium think that you will enjoy their Winter beer more than anyone else's.

As the first snow starts to fall in the Colorado mountains, thoughts of “accumulation” are in the air. To celebrate the white of winter, New Belgium has released Accumulation, a seasonal White IPA that is all about hops and wheat. Accumulation pours unfiltered, with a white-gold tone, offering tropical aromas from the Mosaic and Amarillo hops. It also has a nice bitter bite balanced against the soft flavor of peaches and a hint of citrus.

Accumulation White IPA shares the look of a wheat beer, along with the creamy and refreshing notes associated with wheat beers, but drinks like a proper American-style IPA.Accumulation White IPA is 6.2% ABV and 60 IBUs.

Look for bottles of New Belgium's Accumulation India Pale Ale wherever you find Fat Tire, Lips of Faith, Ranger, or other New Belgium Beers.

Cheers
