Port City Brewing Co. Celebrates 9th Anniversary with Colossal IX Weizenbock

Port City Brewing Co. in Alexandria, Virginia has announced the release of Colossal IX, its yearly anniversary beer. More details on the ninth rendition of this brew are below.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Port City Brewing Company opened its doors as the first production brewery in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area on February 6, 2011.  Each year to celebrate the Anniversary, Port City brews a new COLOSSAL® series beer and hosts a party in its honor.  To toast to nine years of brewing, Port City Brewing Company will release COLOSSAL IX, a German-Style Weizenbock and host a two-day Release and Anniversary Party. This lightly hopped wheat beer is mahogany in color, and brewed with top fermenting weizen yeast and malted wheat.  This beer boasts rich flavors of ripe banana, clove, and dark fruit creating a full-bodied beer with a creamy mouthfeel and billowing clouds of foam.

“Weizenbock is a unique beer, integrating three different styles of beer in a very clever way,“says Head Brewer Jonathan Reeves. “One-part each Hefeweizen, Dunkelweizen, and Bock beer. Weizenbock is basically the center of a Venn diagram for those three styles.”

Colossal® IX, will be available in 6-packs and on draft in Washington, D.C., MD and VA starting with the Tasting Room and followed by Market Releases.
