A French term meaning “In Passing,” En Passant is also a maneuver in the game of chess; in any given game there is but one opportunity to execute an En Passant before the chance is lost. Joel, Keith, and Claudia chose this name as a reminder to savor this limited release before the chance slips away.
A nod to the Old Fashioned cocktail, En Passant is a mild ale brewed with two types of rye and sharply aromatic Columbus hops. The beer undergoes a secondary fermentation with Blood Orange Juice and Blood Orange Peel, giving En Passant assertive citrus notes and an appealing vermillion hue. Enjoy En Passant by itself or paired with a fine bourbon.
