Gathering Place Brewing Releases Limited Batches of 4 Wordsmith Variations
Gathering Place Brewing is releasing new batches of their wheat wine beer, The Wordsmith, along with three other variations. The four beers will be available in 500 ml bottles, on Saturday, May 9 from 2-6 p.m. exclusively via the taproom.
Wheat wine beers have become increasingly popular in recent years among craft breweries and the same can be said for Gathering Place.
“The Wordsmith is a strong beer with bold flavors and it’s one of our most unique beers made each year,” said Joe Yeado, founder of Gathering Place Brewing. “We made these variants last year, but just one keg of each. The response was overwhelming and we’re excited to now offer them in bottles for people to enjoy now and to age for years to come.”
Given the tremendous response to the brewery’s April 18 can release, Joe expects that this year’s Wordsmith release will be received just as well as it was in 2019, despite the COVID-19 situation.
Each variation is a special treat for beer drinkers:
-
The Wordsmith (2020)(9% ABV/ 60 IBU), a Wheat Wine with hints of pineapple, orange peel, pear, and peach. It has a balanced bready sweetness and cleansing bitterness followed by soft, fruity hop flavors.
-
The Coffee Wordsmith (2020)(9% ABV/ 60 IBU), a Wheat Wine made with a special blend of Kickapoo Coffee has a fruity, syrupy sweetness rounded out with a pleasing bitterness.
-
The High West Bourbon Barrel-Aged Wordsmith (2019)(10.5% ABV/ 40 IBU), a Wheat Wine aged for over a year resulting in a mix of vanilla and oak flavors from the bourbon and fruity, syrupy sweetness from The Wordsmith.
-
The Barrel-Aged Old Fashioned Wordsmith (2019)(10.5% ABV/ 40 IBU), is a made from the Bourbon Barrel-Aged Wordsmith and blended with bitter and sweet orange peel as well as dark cherries to create a taste perfect for any classic Supper Club.

Customers can purchase these beers online starting Friday, May 8 at 9 a.m. with pick up starting Saturday, May 9 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Visit Gathering Place Brewing’s online shop to order for pickup or visit the taproom to order beer-to-go.
