December Beers: Full Sail Session Beers    

So, Prohibition ... how big of a bummer was that, right? (Luckily we were spared from living in such barbaric times). But the folks at Full Sail Brewing still honor those who had their brews taken away (and all the little independent breweries that were closed down) with the release of Session - a pre-Prohibition American lager how it used to taste. 
 

Session Premium Lager - This is the Session that started it all, with that retro-cool red label and rock-paper-scissors under the caps. The original Session is a classic, all-malt lager that's crisp, smooth, and refreshing. Winner of multiple gold medals at the top national and international competitions, Session Premium Lager is a beer that truly crosses boundaries, from blue collar to white, red state to blue, cocktail bar to bar-be-que. ABV 5.1% IBU 18

 

Session Fest Lager - When Full Sail decided to brew a special Session for the holidays, they knew right away what color it had to be: Red (and full-bodied). Next, they considered what kind of head it should have. Bright white was the obvious answer. And as for the label? Gotta be green, right? So there you have it. A Session all decked out for holidays, ready to spread joy and cheer. Happy Holidays to one and all! And have a good Session.

Session Fest is a Czech-style strong lager (gotta love the Czechs!) called polotmavé or literally "light dark or semi-dark." Brewed with 2 Row Pale malt, Munich malt, Caramel malt and Wheat malt and hopped with a blend of Glaciers and Cascades, Session Fest has a medium to full body balancing candy caramel and full malt flavors that are underscored by a spicy hoppiness that provides a nice perfume with citrus and pine overtones and a long clean finish. 6.2% ABV 26 IBU

Wine: Wine with a New Age Flair

     

This holiday, get Zen with your wine while savoring the sweet flavor of New Age White Wine. Light yellow in color, this wine has vibrant, fruity and floral aromas of great intensity. Balanced acidity leads to soft, semi-sweet flavors. The slightly effervescent mouth feel makes this an extremely refreshing, vivacious and sensual wine leaving you seeking more ... (much like the pursuit of enlightenment).

The most popular way to enjoy New Age is on the rocks with a slice of lime. This refreshing drink is called "Tincho" after the drinks creator. Valentin Eduardo Bianchi, third-generation winery owner was given the nickname "Tincho" as a boy, a term of affection that, loosely translated, means "young Valentin" (as his grandfather was "older Valentin"). It is "Tincho" that first added the lime to the New Age White. "Tincho", the drink, quickly became one of the most popular, refreshing cocktails served in the restaurants, bars and nightclubs in trend-setting Buenos Aires. The Argentine tradition has caught on here in the United States.

Chad Luedtke Scholarship Benefit Concert
     

On January 23, 2013, Chad Alan Luedtke passed away at the age of 43.  During his short time with us, Chad made his mark through his profession (engineering), through his passions (cycling, fast machines) and through his alma mater (UCF).  To celebrate Chad's life and honor his memory, a benefit concert is being held to raise money for a UCF Engineering Scholarship in his name.  The first Chad Luedtke Scholarship was awarded in Spring 2014.  With your help, we can create an endowment to serve as a lasting legacy that will inspire future generations of engineers. Donations at the door.
