Empyrean Brewing Announces Plans to Bottle Summer Seasonal

  
Press Release:

(Lincoln, NE) - In its 21st year of operation, Empyrean Brewing Co. today announced the newest beer to join their bottled lineup – Super Nova Summer Fest. Empyrean Brewing describes the beer as:  Easy drinking, with flavorful hints of sweet corn, bread and caramel, finishing with a blast of crisp, hop citrus that balances the sweet.

Brewery Manager Jim Engelbart says, “People who drink beer for flavor are constantly looking for new beers to try.  Seasonals and limited production beers allow us to experiment with different ingredients and beer styles, so we may continue to delight the taste buds of craft beer fans everywhere.”

Previously available only on draught at select locations, Super Nova Summer Fest will be the first seasonal beer join the Empyrean bottled lineup. Packaged in 6-packs, Engelbart says it will be stocked in select stores late next week, starting in Lincoln (at Hy-Vee, Russ’s Market, Super Saver, The Still, N-Street Liquor and Moran’s) and Omaha (at Hy-Vee and Beertopia).

Super Nova Summer Fest is the recipe of Head Brewer Rich Chapin, who has been with the company since its inception in 1990. “Brewed with corn grown in the Midwest, its flavors are meant to be enjoyed with the summer lifestyle--like backyard BBQs, baseball games, and lazy afternoons by the pool,” explains Chapin.

Empyrean brands are available in Nebraska, South Dakota and Iowa.  Packaging more than 5,500 barrels of beer last year, Empyrean Brewing Co. offers eight to ten varieties at any one time. Six of these are bottled on site and distributed year round, while seasonal selections are available on draught and (as of now) bottled in 6-packs.
