Cherry Grove Farms Farmstead Cheese and Flying Fish Abbey Dubbel
Cherry Grove Farms Farmstead Cheese and Flying Fish Abbey Dubbel
Our friends at the Cherry Grove Farms, in Lawrenceville, NJ have started washing the rind of their Farmstead cheese (made with milk from organic grass fed cows) with Flying Fish Abbey Dubbel. The result is a rich tasting semi-soft cheese that pairs perfectly–get this–with Flying Fish Abbey Dubbel.
We’re giving folks an opportunity to try it this Thursday evening here at the brewery.
This is a bit different from a regular open house in that we’re limiting the tasting to the Dubbel and cheese. So grab a friend and stop on by.
Here’s the scoop:
- Day: Thursday, February 18, 2010
- Time: 4:30pm – 6:30pm
- Location: Flying Fish Brewing, 1940 Olney Avenue, Cherry Hill, NJ
No need to RSVP–just show up.

SMALL BREWERS OPERATE WITH SPEED AND TEAMWORK
The idea for the “Go Canada” Discovery Pack arose out of a meeting with the LCBO in late 2009, and within a few short hours, six Ontario Craft Brewers had burst out of the starting gate to contribute to one of the beer industry’s most unique team-building efforts in history.
“The LCBO is proud to team up with the Ontario Craft Brewers and present this new all-star Discovery Pack,” says Leanne Rhee, LCBO Category Manager, Beer & Cider. “This is an ideal way for our customers to discover the many beer styles produced by Ontario’s talented craft brewers and celebrate their gold medal quality.”
Volume sales of OCB beers were up by almost 45 per cent at LCBO stores from April to December 2009 versus the same period in 2008.
OCB’s popular Discovery Packs demonstrate the industry’s ingenuity, flexibility and their ability to work as a team to create fantastic products.

BEER RELEASE: Collaboration Not Litigation Ale
Collaboration Not Litigation Ale
It all started back in the early aughts, when Vinnie Cilurzo, of Russian River Brewing, and Adam Avery, of Avery Brewing, met at the Great American Beer Festival. After becoming friends the two soon realized that each brewed a beer called Salvation; Avery’s a Belgian Golden Ale and Cilurzo’s a Belgian Strong Ale.
Preferring a creative solution to their naming conflict, the two brewers chose to blend their respective brews together–and continue with brewing the brews individually, we should add–to create a new and increasingly complex libation that captured the unique qualities of each beer.
After a collaborative brew session in late 2006, Batch #1 of Collaboration Not Litigation Ale was born and bottled at Avery Brewing in February of 2007.
Separate brews of our respective Salvations–each brewed and fermented in strict accordance with the brewers original recipe–were blended and bottled earlier this week as Collaboration Not Litigation Ale.
Look for Collaboration Not Litigation Ale in 22oz bottles and on tap throughout CO and across the nation beginning in February 2010. Suggested retail price is $8 per bottle.

MIGHTY ARROW RETURNS AS NEW BELGIUM’S SPRING SEASONAL
Ft. Collins, Colorado, February 4, 2010 – New Belgium Brewing announced that the “dog days of spring” have begun as Mighty Arrow Pale Ale returns for its second year as the brewery’s spring seasonal.

Mighty Arrow cuts its own course through heightened hop aroma and flavor. It provides pleasurable aromas from Cascade and Amarillo hops with a honey malt base. Staying true to the American style of pale ale, Mighty Arrow has a clear golden color, six percent alcohol by volume and 35 IBU’s.
“Mighty Arrow did well last year and we’re pleased to bring it back,” says Assistant Brewmaster Grady Hull. “It offers citrus and floral tones, both of which are appreciated during the spring warm-up months.”
Mighty Arrow retails for approximately $7.99 and will be available in most New Belgium markets. To learn more about the New Belgium Brewing portfolio, visit the website at http://www.newbelgium.com.
