Firefly Ale Release Party
As the official craft brewery of Firefly Music Festival since 2012, this year we added a fresh twist to our ever-popular Firefly Ale. With help from a few thousand of our friends on social media, this year’s main ingredient was chosen by YOU! Our remixed Firefly Ale is brewed with guava puree and coconut flower nectar, and is full of tropical fruit notes. It has a subtle sweetness, but is also tart and citrusy. It’s a summer sipper that’s perfect for those days and nights in The Woodlands!

To celebrate this awesome new brew, we’ll be jamming out to a Firefly playlist and giving away tickets to the festival – we’ve got a pair of tickets to Friday, Saturday and Sunday’s shows. All three giveaways will be announced at 6 p.m.

Saturday, May 19 at 11 a.m.
America the Brettiful Limited Bottle Release
Wondering how this week could possibly get any better? How’s about a limited bottle release?! On Saturday, we’re releasing 700 bottles of a new, limited-edition sour beer – America the Brettiful. Clocking in at 8% ABV, American the Brettiful is a fruit-forward, barrel-aged American wild ale brewed with Pils malt, wheat, oats and spelt. After adding raspberries, the beer is then aged in red wine barrels with Brettanomyces bruxellensis and lactobacillus for nine months! It’s finished off with fresh blueberries and re-fermented with a Belgian saison yeast. Softly sour with bright berry notes and a mild brett funk, America the Brettiful is truly Red, Wild and Blue! Bottles are $20 each and will be sold on a first come, first served basis. Limit of 5 bottles per person. We’ve gotta share the goodness, folks! America the Brettiful will also be on tap in the Tasting Room while supplies last.

As if that's not exciting enough, our merchandise team has created a limited edition R&DFH glass for this bottle release - only 200 available for purchase!
