Mill Street to Release Betelgeuse Today

Mill Street's popular Betelgeuse Belgian Tripel is back, according to brewmaster Joel Manning, who sent me an email this morning letting me know it will be released today down at the brewpub.

"Our Belgian Tripel Betelgeuse is being released this morning at the brewpub and it's as nice as last year, yet slightly stronger at 9.1%abv," wrote Manning. "We have used our Belgian Wit Beer yeast to ferment the Betelgeuse and it has carried forward some similar flavours to our Wit, but you'll also find flavours of tinned fruit with pear, peach, apple, citric, clove and bubble gum notes both on the aroma and the palate. It has a definite warming alcohol character perfect for winter."

I was a big fan of this release last year, sharing a couple of growlers to myself over a weekend, and it seemed that others shared my feelings as it sold out extremely fast.

No word yet on when it will be available at the retail store in growlers, so call ahead before heading down there. Once its gone its gone.
