E-Malt.com News article: USA, CO: New Belgium releases last round of 2012 Lips of Faith beers

New Belgium Brewing’s Lips of Faith Series is rolling out its fourth and final round of Lips of Faith beers for 2012, tmrzoo.com reported on October, 31.

The selections are Imperial Coffee Chocolate Stout and Biere de Garde, a collaboration ale with Michigan-based Brewery Vivant.

New Belgium recently began selling its products in Michigan, affording the opportunity to collaborate with Grand Rapids-based Brewery Vivant. The breweries first worked together to create Escoffier, which was met with high regard, and now they’ve created a beer for the Lips of Faith series.

Another match – coffee and chocolate – is showcased in New Belgium’s other Lips of Faith selection, Imperial Coffee Chocolate Stout. This strong stout is spiced with fair trade cocoa nibs.

“Lips of Faith has become a perfect venue for collaborating with brewing brethren around the country,” said New Belgium brewer Grady Hull. “We’ve always been inspired by Brewer Vivant’s beers and this collaboration speaks to our mutual respect.”

Imperial Coffee Chocolate Stout and Biere de Garde will be available in November within select markets. Pricing varies by location.

The beers from Lips of Faith series are only available in certain locations and for about three months, or as long as supplies last.
