Full Sail Brewing Releases Mysterious New Brew
Hood River, Or – Collin Godkin, Full Sail’s Packaging Manager, is the proud brewer of the newest Brewer’s Share beer from Full Sail Brewing. The Brewer’s Share small batch program provides an opportunity for Full Sail employees to show off their brewing skills and creativity. Collin’s beer, named “Collin’s Dark Secret”, is an American dark brown ale with a delicious blend of northwest hops brewed with Northwest and European malts. Just the right amount of dark malt gives this brew a subtle cocoa and sweet spice aroma with a wonderful malty flavor all balanced with a delicate hop character. It is a beer designed to help you glide through the rest of winter and you may find yourself asking for more than one in an attempt to unlock this brew’s dark secret. “The beer is dark and my inspiration for brewing it is a secret, hence the name. My goal, not so secret – to produce an easy drinking dark ale. It’s my official drink for viewing the 2010 Winter Olympics,” said Full Sail’s Collin Godkin. ABV 6.2% IBU 31
Full Sail has scheduled two Meet the Brewer and the Beer events to showcase this new beer. The first is at Full Sail at Riverplace in Portland, Tuesday, February 9th from 5:00 – 6:30PM and the second is at the Full Sail Tasting Room and Pub in Hood River, on Thursday, February 11th from 5:00 to 6:30PM. Join the Full Sail crew to celebrate the release and toast a pint of this mysterious new brew with Collin.
The Brewer’s Share series is a line up of small batch draft beers where each Full Sailor takes a turn hand-crafting a single batch recipe of their choosing. Full Sail’s Brewer’s Share beers will be exclusively available on tap at the Full Sail Tasting Room and Pub in Hood River, Oregon, and at Full Sail’s Brewery at Riverplace, in Portland, Oregon. Growlers to go are also available. The next Brewer’s Share will be crafted by Full Sail’s Wendell Bryant and is expected in late April.
