Track 12 of The Ultimate Box Set Releases Saturday, November 24

This Saturday, November 24, 2012 we're releasing the twelfth and final beer in our Ultimate Box Set series. Track 12 is a Fresh Track; a non-fruited sour that's a blend of three beers aged in oak barrels and inspired by Black Sabbath's epic 1980 hit Heaven and Hell.

This Saturday, November 24, 2012 we're releasing the twelfth beer in our Ultimate Box Set series. Track 12 is a Fresh Track; a non-fruited sour that's a blend of three beers aged in oak barrels and inspired by Black Sabbath's epic 1980 hit Heaven and Hell.Ultimate Box Set Track 12 - Heaven and HellThe epic culmination of our Ultimate Box Set; Track 12 is an inspired new sour designed for Sinners and Saints AlikeFor Track 12 we created a new beer – a non-fruited sour made from a blend of Avant Garde, a previously unreleased sour brown ale, and a splash of Gift of the Magi. Aged in oak barrels the beer offers a musty nose followed by a compelling mélange of sweet and sour flavors.Among all the Tracks we have released this year (many of which are now medal winners), the DOBO feels that Track 12 is the one that offers the most intriguing possibilities for the long run. We think all you Sinners and you Saints are really going to enjoy this one.You'll find the beer details (blend, ABV, liner notes, album art, etc.) on the website here. Details on the other Box Set beers can be found on the Box Set home page.The tasting room doors will open at 10:00 am for this special event. As with all Box Set releases, the beers must be consumed on site the same day. Unopened bottles may not be carried out. Each bottle is 375ml and is $15 each.

SPECIAL NOTE: The Track 12 release day coincides with the release of the complete Ultimate Box Set Collections for those who won opportunities in the lotteries. As with past lotteries, we will draw 45 names from those who purchase a bottle of Track 12 during the release. Unlike past lotteries, however, the Track 12 lottery winners will be “instant winners” – i.e., they will be able to purchase and take home an Ultimate Box Set Collection the same day.If you're a Track 12 lottery winner and want to purchase the complete collection please be prepared to take your collection home the same day.For collection pricing, contents and other details, please click here.

The Lost Abbey Announces Ultimate "Box Set"

Craft Brewery will issue a limited edition music-inspired beer each month in 2012, culminating in a collector's box set

SAN MARCOS, Calif. — Get ready to crank the stereo up to 12. In January 2012, The Lost Abbey will begin a year-long series of special edition beer releases inspired by classic rock anthems invoking Heaven and Hell. Each month the brewery will release one new beer, culminating in December with a complete boxed gift set of all twelve. Each "track" released will be limited to a total of 450 bottles and available exclusively in the brewery's tasting room.Three CollectionsThe Box Set releases are divided into three collections of four titles each:

  • Re-Masters - Barrel-aged spins of The Lost Abbey mainstays
  • Re-Mixes - New blends created from The Lost Abbey archives
  • Fresh Tracks - All new beers brewed specifically for Box Set

Each release will be offered in a 375ml corked, hood-and-wire format and include its own original art. Beers will represent the full gamut of The Lost Abbey's signature stylings, including fruit and spiced beers, wood-aged brews, sours, wild, and spontaneously-fermented ales.Tasting Room OnlyBecause of the extremely limited nature of these beers, there will be no general distribution of Box Set releases. Individual tracks, priced at $15 each, will be available exclusively in the brewery tasting room on a first come, first serve basis and will be required to be opened and consumed on premises to prevent unauthorized re-distribution. Empty bottles may be taken off premises but will include measures to prevent counterfeit re-packaging.The first track, an ode to Van Halen's 1978 anthem, "Runnin' With The Devil", is scheduled for release January 21, 2012. Details will be available on The Lost Abbey website in mid January.Subsequent tracks will be released the third Saturday of each month throughout the year, culminating in the release of the full 12-bottle packaged gift set in early December.About Port Brewing / The Lost AbbeyFounded in 2006, Port Brewing and The Lost Abbey produces an extensive line-up of award-winning ales and lagers.
