LDBC Release No. 12 // The Olympians

 

Meet the Olympians — a fascinating family of powerful Greek gods and goddesses that rule over the sea, sky and underworld. Worshipped and feared, the immortals have control over every aspect of human life. So, while the gods are kicking it up on Mount Olympus, us mortals offer gifts and sacrifices to please the deities, like fruit from the harvest or a basket of grains.

But there’s one thing that would surely make the gods happy: the delicious beers from this release. As much as we want to save this nectar all for ourselves, it’s time to share with mortals and Olympians alike.

• Demeter: Church Street Brewing in Itasca, IL, revived this malty kuitbier ale, a historical Dutch beer style, to pay homage to the goddess of harvest and grains.

• The Journeyman: Inspired by Hades, The Virginia Beer Co. in Williamsburg, VA, brewed this mouthwatering, smooth vanilla imperial porter, dark and layered just like the underworld.

• Hestia Flame: From Brewheim in Anaheim, CA, comes a hazy IPA made with tangerine, slightly bitter with loads of tangerine sweetness and juiciness, meant to be enjoyed anywhere that feels like home.

• Sun God Pilsner: Last Name Brewing in Upland, CA, is bringing you a crisp and divinely balanced pilsner with hints of citrus, named after one of the most famous gods, Apollo.
