LA BELLE ETOILE IS LATEST BOOMTOWN BREWERY ARTIST SERIES RELEASE
French Artist/Designer Brings Beer Fans A Night Under The Stars in a Hazy DIPA
Friday, October 15th 3:00PM
WHAT: As long summer days have given way to lingering autumn nights, Boomtown Brewery has brought forth the mystical and flavorful in their latest canned release: La Belle Etoile. Designed by LA-based French artist, industrial and product designer Caroline Gaoua-Hawkins, la nuit à la belle étoile (literally “the beautiful star”) is an idiom meaning to spend your night under the stars, something Caroline had fond memories of doing during her childhood summers. These memories, along with her love of astrology, combined to create the art that graces the outside of the can.
Inside the can is a delightful Hazy DIPA, that clocks in at 8.4% ABV and IBU 30, brewed with Galaxy, Motueka, and Citra hops, with a nose of stone fruit and citrus giving way to flavors of nectarine, tangerine, peach and melon. We also pick up on an almost creamy, full-bodied mouth feel that gives us an intriguing vanilla vibe. The brew’s available to Gold Members starting Friday, October 15th at 3:00PM PDT. The beloved beer-loving public will have to wait until Saturday, October 16th at noon. Can’t wait!
Really can’t wait? It is available for pre-order now here for $22 per four-pack and can even be enjoyed at Boomtown’s newly reopened, COVID-compliant taproom and patio. Photos of the beer (and the artist!) can be found here.
