The two “Backyard Winterfest” cases this year offer a unique opportunity to be the first to try many great new beers from fantastic breweries like Wilmington Brew Works (WBW). We asked WBW to tell us a little about the Biden-inspired beer they’re brewing especially for Winterfest this year:
Last fall, we brewed a special IPA specifically for the Kennett “Backyard Brewfest" called Distanced Games. Over the winter, we brewed a beer to commemorate Wilmington’s own (at the time) President-Elect and his favorite method of transportation. Rail Car One debuted in December, and each subsequent batch has sold out of our brewery in a matter of hours. We are very excited to provide Rail Car One for inclusion in the “Winterfest” case for this year’s Winterfest!
Rail Car One is an 8% ABV Northeast IPA, or as we call it, a Double Delaware IPA. WBW CEO and Brewer, Craig Wensell, triple dry hopped Rail Car One with heaps of Mosaic, Citra, and Sultana Hops. The can art, drawn by WBW VP of Creative and Brand Marketing, John Fusco, is a modern take on Works Progress Administration prints of yesteryear—but instead features an Amtrak Acela with the same paint job as Air Force One, the presidential airplane.
WBW is excited to participate in the 2021 Kennett “Backyard” Winterfest—Bonfires and Beers. Since we opened in 2018, the dates of the Kennett Brewfests have always been circled on our internal calendar. For many of us, the Kennett Brewfest was our first introduction to craft beer, and for many of our now-regular customers, the Kennett Brewfest was their first introduction to Wilmington Brew Works.
It’s important for us to bring our best beer to the Kennett Brewfest and Winterfest each year, because we know the patrons of these signature Kennett events expect the best and are excited to try new and exciting offerings. With the introduction of the innovative 2021 Kennett “Backyard” Winterfest—Bonfires and Beers, it’s even more important to make sure we are sending the best we have. Cheers!
