From Tin Roof Brewing:
BATON ROUGE, LA (April 23,2012) - Tin Roof Brewing Co. is kicking
off the summer with two very exciting announcements.
First, the brewery is
pleased to launch the very popular Tin Roof Blonde in 12oz aluminum cans. The
cans will hit store shelves in the Baton Rouge area starting Tuesday, April 24th.
Other local markets, including New
Orleans and the Northshore area, will begin seeing Tin Roof Blonde cans in
early May.
"We’re extremely excited to finally have Tin Roof
Blonde in cans” said William McGehee, Tin Roof co-founder. “Louisiana outdoor activities are heating up,
and this beer in a can is the perfect fit.”
Cans are rapidly
becoming a popular package for well respected craft breweries across the
country. They are lighter than bottles,
chill faster, and require less fuel to transport. “Cans are also the most recycled package in
the world, and they protect the beer from the degrading effects of light and
oxygen," McGehee added.
Tin Roof is also thrilled to announce their first seasonal
offering, Tin Roof Watermelon Wheat.
The American wheat beer is brewed with Louisiana watermelon and is set
to release in just a few short weeks.
Tin Roof Watermelon Wheat will be available on draft only for several
months this year.
According to Tom Daigrepont, Tin Roof’s brewmaster, the
recipe for the new brew has been in development for several months. “We’ve worked really hard perfecting this
beer,” said Daigrepont. “We had to
experiment with several different yeast strains until we found one that melded
just right with the watermelon.” The brewery credits their commitment to the
use of local ingredients as their inspiration for the unique brew.
Watermelon Wheat??? Hell yeah!
Cheers!

I'm a big fan of the 21st Amendment "Hell or High Watermelon" wheat, especially with it in cans for tubing. Hope this can compete :)
Watermelon wheat? I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
