Ninkasi Brewing to debut Sleigh’r, Imperiale this month

October 2, 2013Chris Crowell

Ninkasi beers
Got to love a winter seasonal/thrash metal mash-up pun, such as Ninkasi’s Sleigh’r Dark Double Alt Ale. Well done, guys.

Cheers to winter with returning cold-weather favorites from Ninkasi Brewing Co. Inspired by the cold winter months, traditional beer styles, blissful days on the mountain and even a little heavy metal, Sleigh’r Dark Doüble Alt Ale and Imperiale Imperial Stout are the perfect remedy to rock any winter day.

“The motivation for creating Sleigh’r was to make a beer that was different than other Northwest winter beers that feature big hop profiles and rich caramel flavor,” said Jamie Floyd, co-owner and founding brewer of Ninkasi. “We created a malt-forward yet dry, toasty and hardy beer brewed in the traditional German Alt way, only darker.”

Also offered this winter, Imperiale Imperial Stout is a rich, smooth but warming beer with lots of roasted malt flavor to fight off the winter months. Both beers pair well with the hearty foods served during the holidays and the winter months and will be available in bottles and on-draft October through December.
