WINTER WARMER WARNING: NEW BELGIUM BREWING’S 2º BELOW IS BACK

Seasonal Beers Serve as Reminder that Holidays are Coming

Ft. Collins, Colorado, 2010 – New Belgium Brewing’s 2º Below Winter Ale, celebrated for its bright, warming blast of Sterling and Liberty hops with tawny-roasted malts, has once again arrived. As the seasonal counterpart to Frambozen, 2º Below serves as an imaginative winter brew that underscores New Belgium’s commitment to Belgian-style brewing.

2º Below goes through dry-hopping during fermentation, which creates a rosy, floral nose with a hint of pepper spice and estery undertones. Brewers and tasters alike boast about its bright, hoppy palate and cherry warm afterglow – much needed during the cold days ahead. During the brewing process, 2º Below is pushed into a nearly freezing state, while its ample structure develops a brilliant clarity. Its subtlety and character create a winter favorite that finds its place during holiday celebrations.

“2º Below is a playful beer, pushing boundaries and having fun with varieties of hops,” says Assistant Brewmaster Grady Hull. “This winter warmer is embraced every year for its artistry and charm.”
