Time: January 2015
1020 E Lincoln Ave, Fort Collins, Colorado 80524

FCB (Fort Collins Brewery) is excited to release its brand new seasonals, Black Sheep, Black IPA and FCB Hefeweizen beginning January, 2015.

Standing apart from the herd, Black Sheep, Black India Pale Ale is a result of fortunate contradiction. FCB’s newest 4-pack seasonal is an elegantly blended array of bright citrus and earthly hop aromas with subtle notes of chocolate and coffee. It is especially smooth for its dark appearance, but contains a solid malt backbone, setting the stage for an artfully crafted arrangement of hops.

True to German style brewing techniques, FCB’s Hefeweizen has an aroma of citrus and spice that come alive with robust flavors of bready wheat and sweet malt. A hazy golden hue and refreshing finish, this 6-pack seasonal bids a goodbye to winter and a nod to the first taste of spring

Black Sheep, Black IPA and FCB Hefeweizen will be available to FCB’s distribution footprint in bottles and on draft. Hefeweizen will also be part of FCB’s Seasonal Brewer’s Lunch Box, a variety 12-pack.
