Baldor Specialty Foods and The Bronx Brewery Announce Release of Limited-Edition Strobelight Gose
Industry: Food & Drink
First B-Tracks Series experimental beer of 2019 with collaborating South Bronx neighbor, The Bronx Brewery, features rare, seasonal ingredients.
Hunts Point, NY (PRUnderground) April 5th, 2019
Baldor Specialty Foods, the premier ingredient source for top chefs in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, and The Bronx Brewery, a South Bronx-based, independently-owned, craft brewery, announced their first B-Tracks series collaboration of the year following the partnership’s success in 2018. The B-Tracks series, which began in early 2018, is a run of limited-edition, experimental beers crafted from exotic, in-season ingredients curated by foragers at Baldor Specialty Foods.
The partnership’s B-Tracks series, appropriately named after the flipside of a hit vinyl record, challenges the status quo, releasing underground small-batch beers. The latest, soon-to-be released beer, a strawberry rhubarb gose, taps into the music component of the B-Tracks, called Strobelight Gose, with artwork bringing a flashing strobe light to life on the can.
The Strobelight Gose – a beautifully red-colored and flavor-packed gose, boasts a tart berry flavor, showcasing the French hop, Barbe Rouge. Additionally, there are heaping helpings of rhubarb and strawberries added during cold conditioning to create a big, fruity pallet. Coriander and sea salt are added to the brew to create the briny and aromatic flavor consistent with the style. The limited-edition beer will be available in The Bronx Brewery taproom on draft and in cans beginning on April 6th. In addition, for the first time ever, a B-Tracks beer will be available outside of the brewery, with Strobelight Gose on draft at Clinton Hall locations.
“We’re excited to bring back the B-Tracks series again this year, following a successful year of collaboration brews,” said Damian Brown, President of The Bronx Brewery. “And we look forward to continue exploring and innovating in the beer space with our culinary partner, Baldor, where we’ll develop rare, drinkable beers that consumers will really enjoy discovering.”
“We’re looking forward to another year of creative collaboration with our South Bronx neighbor,” said Lars Dahlhaus, Beer Specialist for Baldor Specialty Foods. “Combining Baldor’s culinary expertise and premium, seasonal ingredients with The Bronx Brewery’s out-of-the-box approach, we’re poised to create another round of unique, noteworthy beers this year.”
Given their limited quantities, the B-Tracks series of beers will be available at The Bronx Brewery’s taproom and Clinton Hall locations for a short time. The taproom is located at 856 East 136th Street, Bronx, NY 10454 and is open 7-days a week.
