New Release: Ithaca Beer Co. - Excelsior! Anniversary Fifteen and Old Habit (Dark Rye Ale and Strong Rye Ale)


Ithaca Beer Co. is excited to announce the release of highly anticipated Excelsior! Anniversary Fifteen & the long-awaited return of Excelsior! Old Habit on Thursday, May 16, 2013 (starting at noon).



Official Press Release:
Excelsior! Anniversary Fifteen- Dark Rye Ale | ABV 8.4% | Bottle / Draft
Inspired by the rye beers of southern Germany, we created this mischievously potent brew using an intriguing combination of pale and rye malts, a traditional German ale yeast, and New Zealand hops.

The result is an assertive dark copper-brown ale with a full-bodied malt backbone and elegant notes of clove and spice. The finish is bracing with a sharp spiciness that parallels a gentle hint of tropical fruit.


Excelsior! Old Habit – Strong Rye Ale | ABV 9.0% | Bottles only
A robust American ale brewed with four different rye malts and fresh centennial and crystal hops. It is partly fermented in Kentucky Rye Whiskey barrels then carefully blended. Enjoy the gorgeous ruby color, strong aromas of vanilla and black cherry, earthy flavors of nuts, oak and the warm, spicy finish.
