Maritime Pacific Is All Treats and No Tricks As It Releases Harvest XPA on Halloween

October 24, 2011– Maritime Pacific Brewing Company is releasing its latest special offering, Harvest XPA, on Halloween night

ANNOUNCEMENT

Seattle, WA – Maritime Pacific is celebrating All Hallow’s Eve by treating everyone with the release of their latest special offering, Harvest XPA, in the Jolly Roger Taproom on Halloween night. The special Harvest Pale Ale will be available in draught on November 2^nd at select pubs, taverns, and alehouses throughout Seattle and Tacoma.

Harvest XPA exudes freshness! It is brewed with 100 pounds of freshly harvested Amarillo hops from the Gamache Farms, as well as the finest Organic malts the Northwest has to offer. The carefully selected malts give the Harvest XPA a light amber hue as well as subtle caramel notes while the Amarillo packs the palette with loads of citrus flavor. At 5.5% ABV and 45 IBU, it is the perfect session ale for hop heads as well as people seeking ales made with local, fresh ingredients.

A crowd favorite, this is the first time the Harvest XPA has been brewed in 3 years.  It is also the first time that it has brewed with all Organic Malts from Great Western Malting in Vancouver, WA.  Head Brewer, Corey Blodgett, believes, “If you are going to brew a true harvest ale, you should at least use Organic ingredients when at all possible.”  The beer release will take place on October 31, 2011, in the Jolly Roger Taproom starting at 5 pm with the tapping of the inaugural firkin.  Come and join the celebration.
