Pelican Brewing Company Releases Latin-Inspired Lager, Pelicano Extra
22 Jun 2016 --- Inspired by the lagers of Latin America, Pelican Brewing Company releases the ultra refreshing summer beer, Pelicano EXTRA! Previously available as draft-only brew, Pelicano EXTRA! will be available starting in July on draft, in 6-packs, 22 oz. bottles and as part of Pelican’s new mixed 12-pack. Perfect for relaxing at the beach!
Pelicano EXTRA!, which won a Gold Medal at the North American Beer Awards this month, is brewed with 6-row malt and 25% flaked corn to give the beer a crisp, dry flavor that is balanced with Tettnang hops for a subtle spicy and floral character. At 5.1% abv Pelicano is a sessionable lager with enough flavor and complexity that you can say adios to the lime and just enjoy! Pick up a 6 pack and you’ll find:
- Straw color
- Subtle spicy & floral hops
- Ultra-refreshment
- Soft, clean finish
“Pelicano Extra! is a great summertime beer that bridges the gap between flavor and approachable drinkability. Clean lager characteristics let the wonderful malt and hop flavors shine through without any heaviness or harshness. Pelicano, which is full of character, refreshing, flavorful and smooth, pays homage to our beach roots,” says Darron Welch, award-winning brewmaster at Pelican Brewing Company.
