Bear Republic’s® Racer X® Seasonal Releasing in Bottles this Fall
By Adam Rains
This fall, Bear Republic Brewing Company® fan favorite Racer X® double IPA is racing back to shelves.
A seasonal release, Racer X® is one of our most exceptional offerings available, with highly limited production and distribution. Receiving extraordinary praise from the beer community with a rating of 100 on www.Ratebeer.com and a 95 on www.Beeradvocate.com, the Racer X® recipe was originally created over eleven years ago by Brewmaster/COO, Richard “Ricardo” Norgrove, and has been released annually since, with limited availability nationwide.
Master Brewer, Peter Kruger, states, “Racer X is one of our most anticipated seasonal releases of the year. This year’s version is drier, and because of this, the hops really pop. I hope people love drinking it as much as we love brewing it.”
Description: Racer X® is an uncommon Double India Pale Ale which puts a California twist on English brewing traditions by adding an assertive hop aroma and bitterness that compliments the firm malt backbone. Like its little brother Racer 5®, Racer X® is balance in a bottle.
Pairing Suggestions: Barbecue, Spicy Foods, Beef, Poultry, Pork Dishes, Bold Cheeses, Aged Cheddar & Hard Cheeses
Availability: Limited 22 oz. bottles and draft
Hops: Cascade, Columbus, Centennial
ABV: 8.3% – IBUs: 100+ – Double IPA
You can find Racer X® locally at the brewpub in Healdsburg starting Friday, October 10. To find Racer X® near you, please visit www.bearrepublic.com/bear-tracker.
