Greeley, Colorado’s WeldWerks Brewing Co. is bringing back the very cool WeldWerks + Friends Summer Market on June 22. This continuation of the brewery’s farmers’ market-style event, which launched last summer, includes fresh suds from some of the brewery’s best buddies, two new Medianoche releases, local goods from artisans, and brewery tours with Neil Fisher.
The WeldWerks + Friends Summer Market showcases beer from acclaimed brewery pals from across the country (some might even make a special appearance):
- 3 Sons Brewing Company (Dania Beach, FL)
- American Solera (Tulsa, OK)
- Mortalis Brewing Company (Avon, NY)
- North Park Beer Company (San Diego, CA)
- Vitamin Sea Brewing (Weymouth, MA)
- XUL Beer Company (Knoxville, TN)
The beer list, which includes pours and to-go beer, will be published at a later time. But, we already know about the Medianoches…
Medianoche: T10 Rye showcases exceptional rye whiskey barrels – Templeton 10-Year Reserve Rye. This Medianoche base features chocolate rye malt, crystal rye malt, flaked rye, and malted rye, totaling 36% of the grist bill. We then aged the rye imperial stout for 32 months in the Templeton 10-year Reserve Rye whiskey barrels. Rye spices, oak, and chocolate dominate the nose, while honey, cinnamon, and burnt sugar create a complex flavor profile sure to excite any rye-whiskey connoisseur.
Coconut Marshmallow Scoop (collaboration with 3 Sons Brewing): As WeldWerks blended their first version of Coconut Scoop, the brewery couldn’t help but notice that a few of the barrels imparted huge vanilla and marshmallow notes—so the brewery decided to save those for a future project with their good friends at 3 Sons Brewing Co. After aging the base blend for 34 months in 10-year Eagle Rare Bourbon Barrels, WeldWerks added raw and toasted coconuts, vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, and of course, marshmallow cream, to make an even more expressive and flavorful sequel to last year’s Coconut Scoop.
Tickets for both releases go on sale Saturday, June 15 at 10 a.m. via Eventbrite (no access code needed, the ticketing purchase page will be viewable the second the sale begins on the 15th), with pickups beginning June 22-July 7.
