Hellbent Brewing Company set to release two "Winter" ales later this month.
The leaves have barely hit the ground and already the news is shifting away from tricks and treats, skipping the turkey dinners and food comas, trading everything for Black Friday and the upcoming holiday shopping. Welcome to the holidays in the age of a global pandemic.
For those of you who read that sentence and asked, “so what does that have to do with beer?”, we can only say “good question”. Thankfully, Seattle’s Hellbent Brewing Company has an answer for us in the form of two two “Winter” releases in October. Think of it as a Christmas pre-funk.
Starting with their Winter Ale, Hellbent Brewing Company is pleased to announce the return of the holiday treat.

Brewed with hops Citra, Chinook, and Cascade; along with Spruce tips, the beer has a noticeable citrus and candy-like character. Backed by a rich malt catalog, the beer has a familiar burnt amber and mild, malty character that is expected of Winter Ales. Released in 16-ounce four-packs, and on draft, look for this 7.5% ABV (alcohol by volume) sipper to be available October 21st at the taproom.
Following up on Winter Ale, Hellbent Brewing Company has come up with something different - the Winter IPA.

Brewed with pale and caramel malts, and a bit of wheat Winter IPA has a light copper-color. Complemented by hops, Simcoe, Azacca, and Chinook hops, along with spruce tips and you have the making of a pine forest in a glass. Accented with fruity and berry flavors and arriving 3 days before Halloween, look out for this unique IPA in 16-ounce four-packs.

About Hellbent Brewing Company
Hellbent started with three of us – Jack Guinn, Chris Giles and Randy Embernate – longtime friends and restaurant industry veterans. For us, starting Hellbent was the natural (and the coolest) thing to do, growing directly out of our experience and our love of beer. For years we home-brewed and toiled over our business plan. Then, we met Brian Young – award winning brewer, co-owner and fast friend – who turned out to be the missing link. Within a couple months, we were on the hunt for the perfect location.
We wanted our brewery in Lake City, where Chris and Jack already called home, to contribute to the growing beer scene here. When we stepped into the old CM Hopkins building for the first time, we knew we had found our venue. Starting right away, we gutted it and began the transformation, building with reclaimed wood, steel, good humor, and a fair amount of muscle.
Finally, after years of fierce determination and hard work (including seven months of construction), we opened our doors in the thick of microbrew country. We didn’t do this alone. We are humbled by the support and kindness of our friends and family that helped us along the way. So, to our beer-loving brothers and sisters of the Pacific Northwest, cheers and welcome to Hellbent!
