USA, TX: Martin House Brewery to release “breakfast beer”

The folks behind Fort Worth's newest craft brewery, Martin House Brewing Company, are aware that describing their new grain ale as a "breakfast beer" might cause a stir. But, that's a risk they've weighed against confidence that their small but steadily growing audience will appreciate the tongue-in-cheek labelling, Pegasus News reported on April, 24.

During a special tasting, Martin House poured pints of the yet-unreleased light ale, Daybreak, and while most likely won't wash down their Post Toasties with the so-called breakfast ale, many who tried the brewery's newest offering did note its appropriateness for a hot summer afternoon.

Also joining the line-up is a new saison called River House, another pale, easy-drinking session beer. Both are ready for release on Saturday, April, 27. They join the brewery's extremely memorable, heavy-hitting red ale, the Imperial Texan.

Emphasizing light, summery ales, the brewery is also on the cusp of releasing its first stout, an original recipe created from sourdough pretzels.

"I just put two and two together," brewer Cody Martin said. "Pretzels are made from barley and they have the salty flavor that mixes so well with a sweet beer. We already have people who have tasted it and keep asking for more."

The coming dark beer will be named There Will Be Stout, and it is set for release in late summer or early fall.
