New Month, New Beers!

It may not feel like spring quite yet, but Elevator Brewing Company has two new beers that'll help you shake off winter's final freeze.

We're proud to introduce our Imperial Witbier and Irish Red.

The Imperial Witbier, created by Masterbrewer Vic Schiltz, is the Masters of Beer Appreciation (MBA) selection for March. This unfiltered beer, brewed with Trappist Ale yeast instead of a typical wit yeast for a distinctive flavor, features hints of coriander and orange peels.

But don't you dare call it fruity.

"It's nine percent alcohol and very potent," Schiltz said. "It knocked me on my ass."

Brewer Mark Beery mixed up a batch of Irish Red as the March entry of the Professor of Hearty Drinking (PHD) program. This malty beverage features a copper color and a sweet finish, with an IBU of 24 and 6% ABV. It's on nitro lines at the Elevator Restaurant.

Both beers are available for a limited time only, exclusively on tap at Elevator while supplies last. February's Chocolate Cherry Wheat is gone, while a minute quantity of the Mocha Plum Stout remains.
