Here is Ballast Point’s beer release calendar for 2018

January 9, 2018Chris Crowell

Ballast Point East To West IPA

Ballast Point Brewery has released its beer release schedule for 2018, which will include a few new beers as well as new 16-ounce cans (Sculpin IPA and Fathom IPA, specifically). Take a gander at the entire schedule here: 2018 Product Release Calendar

Starting this year, Ballast Point is categorizing its offering into three distinct series: The Discovery Series, The Flagship Series and the Explorer Series. The beers in the Discovery Series serve are a way to “discover” Ballast Point, with characters of approachability and quality. They’re laid-back in style and drinkability, yet flavor-forward. The Discovery Series package design has been changed to reflect this with enhanced artwork, nautical theme and San Diego hometown pride. The Discovery Series beers are also 6 percent ABV or below.

The Flagship Series are signature beers like Sculpin, Manta Ray and Victory at Sea. They also carry higher ABVs, 7 percent and above.

The Explorer Series is for the adventurer in search of bold, exotic flavors and styles, like barrel-aged and sour offerings. These are limited releases that vary in ABV and style.

Two new beers: Aloha Sculpin and Moscow Mule Ale

With Aloha Sculpin, Ballast brewers used Brux Trois yeast to turn its staple IPA into a tropical oasis, with bright and refreshing notes of mango, pineapple and guava, along with a slight haze and smooth mouthfeel. This will launch in February and will be a seasonal spring/summer release in the Flagship series.

Moscow Mule Ale is a take on the classic and refreshing cocktail, with ginger and tart lime in a light kettle sour beer. It’s an effervescent and aromatic beer just begging to be enjoyed in a copper mug. This is a spring/early summer release in the Explorer series.
