Hensley Beverage Company announced today the distribution of year-round and limited release beers from 10 Barrel Brewing Company, a highly acclaimed craft brewery from Bend Oregon. One of the country’s fastest-growing and most innovative breweries, 10 Barrel was one of only four U.S. breweries to win three medals and tied for most medals won at this year’s Great American Beer Festival, the largest beer competition in the world. 10 Barrel Brewing Company recently announced the completion of its purchase by Anheuser-Busch earlier in 2015.
Beers that will be available through Hensley Beverage Company on tap and in retail:
Apocalypse IPA
This West Coast style IPA is our flagship beer. We can talk about IPAs and hops all day but you better just give it a run for yourself (IBU’s: 70; ABV: 6.8%).
JOE IPA
This IPA was formerly known as Sam after its hops: Simcoe, Amarillo and Mosaic, but we were told this might be a trademark issue with a large craft brewery out of the Northeast, so we had to change it. We cycled through a bunch of generic names – Bob, Tom, Dick, Dan, Carl, Frank – until we arrived on the perfect name for this IPA … Joe (IBU’s: 70; ABV: 6.9%).
Cucumber Crush
Our brewer Tonya Cornett got fresh with her award winning Berliner Weisse and added loads of cucumber. The aroma is undeniably cucumber and it’s the perfectly crushable summer beer. On tap only (IBU’s: 17; ABV: 4%).
DUB
Hops, hops and more hops. Our double IPA will blow your taste buds away. With nearly 10 pounds of Simcoe, Chinook and Magnum hops per barrel, this is absolutely not for someone looking for a balanced beer. Seriously, if you don’t like hops, this beer might ruin your day (IBU’s: off the charts; ABV: 9.8%).
SWILL
You might be asking yourself, what is an American radler? Well let me tell you… it is the perfect blend of American sour and multiple layers of citrus. The ultimate summer crusher. Coming soon.
