MILWAUKEE (June 30, 2020) – Over a year ago, Lakefront Brewery began releasing special brews in a 500mL EuroBottle. Known as the Small Tank Series, these are very limited beers ranging from Belgian Ales to a “small beer” made from the second runnings of Black Friday Imperial Stout. For the sixth edition of the Small Tanks Series, Lakefront is announcing the release of a barrel-aged Biere De Garde.
“We took our Rendezvous, a French-style biere de garde, and let it age for 3 years in Brandy barrels,” said Lakefront’s Brand Manager Michael Stodola. “This traditional farmhouse ale is brewed with a special French ale yeast, giving it a subtle, yet delightful ester fruitiness. At 11.6%, it’s a bit boozy, but an excellent barrel-aged liquid.”
Lakefront is releasing the Small Tank Series Biere De Garde in 500mL bottles on Tuesday, July 7th and each bottle is $10. The Brewery will open sales on Tuesday, July 7th at 8am and asks that all orders be placed online ahead of pick-up time. People can choose their pick-up time between 3pm and 8pm later that day and pick up their bottles at Lakefront’s front entrance. Other to-go-beer, crowlers, and the daily takeout menu will be available as well.
