LOUISVILLE, KY. – Swashbockler, the first beer brewed to pair perfectly with

Long John Silver’s seafood, took its maiden voyage on April 4, 2022 at Shippingport Brewing Company just ahead of National Beer Day. Starting today, Long John Silver’s fans in Louisville, KY can get a pint of the beer to commemorate the Lenten season.  

Filled with notes of fresh bread, mild honey, and a hint of lemon, rounded out with the light, malted sweetness of Long John Silver’s malt vinegar, the German-style Helles Bock beer serves as the perfect companion to wash down your crispy, crunchy, and fresh seafood dish.

“Safe to say when first hearing of Long John Silver’s creating a beer with its malt vinegar, there were some initial reservations. But truthfully, after the first sip, they were all washed aside,” said Josh Johnson, The Kentucky Gent on Instagram. “The beer sips incredibly clean and refreshing with a slight acidic kick that makes it more of a robust beer than a traditional bock beer. And the tartness of the lemon makes for a refreshing sip – solo or alongside a fresh and crispy piece of Long John Silver’s fish.”

Gnarly Barley Brewing Co. in Hammond, Louisiana has announced a new release that bridges the gap between lager and IPA called Cold IPA. Full details are below.

The mold has been broken…going against all that you’ve known to be true with fermentation techniques we present the Cold IPA. Featuring a pale malt profile with flaked rice, the base of this beer resembles a crisp lager. The hop profile and hopping schedule resembles an IPA. Fermented with a lager strain at warmer temps giving us a complimentary ester profile that plays with the dynamic hop bill. What we end up with is a crisp beverage with a noted bitterness that wraps itself in the cloak of drinkability. Citra, Mosaic, Comet, and Cascade hops offer a super citrusy nose that melds with an underlying dankness. Medium-bodied, refreshing, crushable.
