E-Malt.com News article: USA, OR: Full Sail Brewing to release a new beer to celebrate 24 years of making beers

Full Sail Brewing turns 24 this month and to celebrate they will release a new beer in their Brewer’s Share line up: Dan’s de Familie Man Belgian IPA brewed by brewer, Dan Peterson, the company announced on September, 19.

“Dan’s de Familie Man is a Belgian IPA I present to you, as an interpretation of my family’s quest to the West bringing what I know from the East and a humble tribute to what we found here,” said Dan Peterson.

Full Sail has scheduled two “Meet the Brewmaster and the Beer” events to showcase this new beer. The first Meet Brewmaster and the Beer event will be at Full Sail at Riverplace in Portland, Tuesday, September 27th from 5:00 – 6:30PM. The second is at the Full Sail Tasting Room and Pub in Hood River, on Thursday, September 29th from 5:00 to 6:30PM.

With each Brewer’s Share series beer, Full Sail picks a local charity to receive a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the beer. Dan has chosen to support the Hood River County Library Foundation and every keg of Dan de Familie Man benefits this volunteer organization.

The Brewer’s Share series is a line-up of small batch draft beers where each Full Sailor takes a turn hand-crafting their own single batch recipe and a portion of the proceeds benefit a local charity of their choosing. Full Sail’s Brewer’s Share beers will only be available on tap at Full Sail’s Tasting Room and Pub in Hood River, Oregon, and at Full Sail’s Brewery at Riverplace, in Portland, Oregon. Growlers to go are available. Dan de Familie man will also be featured at the Hood River Hops Fest on October 1.

The next Brewer’s Share will be brewed by Assistant Operations Manager, Dan Nakamura and is expected in early 2012.
