Anchor Brewing has released BigLeaf Maple
Autumn Red. Inspired by a native California tree, the
6% ABV BigLeaf Maple Autumn Red is a red ale with
a hint of maple syrup that complements the malty
complexity, balanced hoppiness, and rich fall hue, the
company says. The seasonal BigLeaf Maple Autumn
Red will be available through October.

Newcastle Brown Ale is bringing back its Newcastle Werewolf
limited-edition brew. The ale is brewed with rye malts, making
it naturally blood-red in color. Werewolf stays true to the
characteristics of Newcastle Bown Ale, the company says, but
offers a seasonally advantageous palate, sweet berry fruit with
roasted caramel notes up front, followed by a bite of bitterness
from the Fuggle and Golding hops at the finish. Newcastle
Werewolf, which has an ABV of 4.5%, is available nationally
through October and priced comparably to Newcastle Brown Ale.
WINE
Third generation California vintner Cheryl Indelicato
has added two new wines—Inspiration White
and Inspiration Red—to the HandCraft Artisan
Collection portfolio. Inspiration White is a delicate,
aromatic blend of sauvignon blanc, viognier,
riesling, moscato and pinot grigio, and has lovely
hints of bright citrus, honeysuckle and green apple,
according to the company. It describes Inspiration
Red as a luscious blend of syrah, zinfandel, merlot,
malbec and sangiovese, with rich aromas of spice,
blackberry and plum—delicious on its own or with
food. The two wines are available nationally at a
suggested retail price of $12.99.
