New Release: "Chicken" Bock (6.9%) This brand new entry into our #AnimalLagerSeries is available for presale now on @biermiplease (link in bio) and drops on Wednesday in the tap room and across our @truerespite_distro footprint. Stylistically, "Chicken" Bock (6.9%) rests comfortably within the wheelhouse of a traditional amber-colored lager first brewed in the 14th century in Einbeck, Germany. Rich, malt-driven flavors of honey, caramel, and toast feature with a clean yeast profile offered by a fascinating high pressure lager yeast cultured by our friends at @jasperyeast. Traditionally, Bock beers have been marketed with a billy goat given the German translation of Bock is, in fact, billy goat. However, we must also recognize that Bock is the sound chickens make while GOAT has come to mean Greatest Of All Time in contemporary vernacular. Understanding these new connotations, we opted to modernize these associations for the American market in our Animal Lager Series. And speaking of "Goat"... Our next Animal Lager Series release will be announced soon and we can assure you of this--it's not a Bock 🐐 Label art by @spicymustarddesigns 🐔 . . . #mytruerespite #BeTheKey #mdbeer #marylandmade #mocomade #RockEastDistrict #visitmoco #visitmocoeats #chickenbock #bock #bockbeer #chicken (at True Respite Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/ConYiXRusK1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tasting barrels yesterday confirmed that it's almost barrel season! With the arrival of September comes a wave of malt-forward beers. For many, this is undoubtedly the best time of year for beer drinking. While we love our malty beers, the real magic begins when the weather turns and those first barrel aged treats start to hit taps. We love breaking out the bottling line and putting together some truly special, extra small batch beers for you. In that vein, this year could very well be the year of the barrel for us as we're sitting on an absolute stockpile of excellent barrel aged projects and interesting collabs that are ready to be released. In particular, the Imperial Rye ale aged in @sagamorespirit Rye Whiskey barrels we brewed in collaboration with @absolutelywineandspirits is drinking heavenly at the moment. Release day is not far off for this one! Also around the corner are Fall favorites like our gold medal-winning "Pumpkin Spice Latte" Imperial Milk Stout (11.0%) and our #AnimalLagerSeries staple "Bobcat" Tmavé Pivo (5.5%) [Czech-style Dark Lager.] Fall is undoubtedly the best time of year for beer and this may very well be our best Fall lineup yet. Stay tuned! . . . #bethekey #mytruerespite #mdbeer #mocomade #barrelaged #barrelbeer #wood #tasting #craftbeer #fallbeer #autumn #fall #september #rockeastdistrict (at True Respite Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch9rr0nuz-a/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🦖 "Animatronic" Kölsch (5.0%) returns! This pseudo #AnimalLagerSeries classic is back from extinction for the last push through the hottest days of the year. Crackery, crisp, and dry--this refreshing German-style cold fermented ale was delicately dry hopped with Huell Melon hops. Subtle fruity esters from the yeast leave a trademark Kölsch profile that is beautifully complemented by the malt and hops. 🥉Bronze Medal Winner: MD Craft Beer Cup (2021 Pale Ales) This lovely, award-winning summer ale is here for a short time. Grab it before it goes extinct again!

🐟 NEW TOMORROW: "Trout" Toasted Lager (5.5%) #AnimalLagerSeries Dropping tomorrow in the tap room and throughout our @truerespite_distro territory is "Trout" Toasted Lager (5.5%). Dreamed, designed, and brewed by our Head Brewer, Matt Headland. He describes this pale, refreshing lager as a rustic beer with just a hint of toasted malt over a bready, medium-light body. This is the perfect lager for days on the water, hyperbole, and great company.

🐾 "Bobcat" Tmavé Pivo (5.5%) is BACK! One of our favorite releases of all time, "Bobcat" is also one of the highest-rated Euro-style Dark Lagers in the world per @untappd. This Czech-style Dark Lager from our #AnimalLagerSeries features an assortment of dark and specialty malts that present as milk chocolate, dried fig, and subtle roast without much roasty bitterness. There may not be a better beer for watching football as the weather gets crisp and the leaves start to turn. This beer is being released in the tap room, on @tavour, and in super limited distribution via @truerespite_distro and @otherside_beverage. Spectacular label art by the uniquely talented @spicymustarddesigns. Grab yours while you can--this one is absolutely not going to last!
