USA: Goose Island Beer Company releases Ten Hills Pale Ale

Anheuser-Busch-owned Goose Island Beer Co. has introduced Ten Hills Pale Ale, the first of three limited release brews set to launch through 2014, Shanken News Daily reported on November 20.

Made with Perle, Cascade and Saaz hops sourced from Idaho’s Elk Mountain Farms, the new 6.2%-abv offering is brewed at the Anheuser-Busch breweries in Fort Collins, Colorado, and Baldwinsville, New York.

Ten Hills will be available from December 2 through the end of March 2014, both in six- and 12-pack bottles and on draft. Goose Island’s next two limited releases, meanwhile, will also use hops sourced from Elk Mountain Farms, which currently grows more than 200,000 hills of hops for the Chicago-based craft brewer.
