Seattle's Lucky Envelope dashes into 2021 with three exciting releases.
Hitting the floor running in 2021, Seattle’s Lucky Envelope Brewing has announced their slate of beers starting with Hazelnut Vanilla Cream Ale.
Described by the brewery as having real hazelnuts and vanilla, this beer sounds like dessert in a glass.
Following this release, the brewery has recently birthed their Grapefruit IPA to the masses. Released on Wednesday, January 20th, the brewery favorite from their ENIAC-series, is refreshing balm for citrus lovers. For more information, we’ve included the brewery details below.
Finally the brewery is pleased to share the news about their upcoming Orange Mocha Porter-ccino! Imperial Porter.
A hybrid dessert ale with “bright juicy orange, creamy marshmallow, and a touch of coffee” the beer has this writer’s curiosity. Although not available until next Friday, January 29th, it’s already guaranteed to be limited. With further thoughts, here’s what the brewery had to say.
Ever think that maybe there's more to life than looking really, really...really ridiculously good looking? Well, duh it's our new ORANGE MOCHA PORTER-CCINO! We pumped-up the rich chocolatey goodness of our Imperial Porter with bright juicy orange, creamy marshmallow, and a touch of coffee. Male Supermodels everywhere agree, this beer's espresso-like roastiness and smooth mocha decadence is the perfect pick-me-up. This is a really, really…really limited draft release.
At 12.5% ABV, look for Orange Mocha Porter-ccino! on draft and in single 16oz cans, next Friday.

About Lucky Envelope Brewing
…
Lucky Envelope’s brewing philosophy is centered around “Culturally Inspired Beer” whose recipes draw from modern and historic brewing styles and techniques. In addition, Lucky Envelope also uses both traditional and non-traditional ingredients in our beers which range from traditional IPAs (ENIAC Mosaic IPA), to German-style lagers (Helles Lager), to seasonal favorites like our Two Pepper Pale Ale (Habanero & Shishito peppers) and Peanut Butter Cream Stout.
The name Lucky Envelope comes from the Chinese tradition of the elderly generation giving the younger generation red envelopes filled with paper money. The color red is meant to ward off evil spirits and bring good health, while the money inside is supposed to bring prosperity. The Mandarin word for the envelope “hongbao” translates to red pouch while the Cantonese word for the envelope “laisee” translates to lucky money. Many refer to the envelopes as red envelope, or Lucky Envelope. For Barry and Ray, lucky envelopes bring back good memories whether it was a Chinese New Year celebration, graduating from school, or celebrating a life milestone.
Real hazelnuts and vanilla boost the lightly roasty, cocoa, and coffee-like flavors of our cream stout. Lactose and flaked oats add a smooth creaminess to balance out bold dark malts creating a slightly sweet, toasted hazelnut latte character.
