Parish Brewing Company just concluded their inaugural Grand Reserve Month. The event replaced Grand Reserve Day which marked the release of their annual Grand Reserve barleywine, a cellared ale. Previous incarnations of the event have included new, brewery only beers along with live music and food trucks. This year, they changed it and decided to release special new bottled beers each Friday beginning November 18th. Each consecutive week for four weeks straight would see a special release or two.
The first special release was Blood Orange Envie. The base beer, Envie, is a juicy, tropical, lightly bitter American pale ale that’s one of my go-to beers.
