noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 15:14:00 +0000

Today we get the first look at what I believe will be the new summer seasonal coming from our friends at Lion Brewery….High Dive -- malt beverage brewed with sweet orange peel, curacao bitter orange peel and coriander. The new brew will come in at 5% ABV and this is the 12oz bottle package. Stay tuned for release details.

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:01:00 +0000

Today you get the first look at the new packaging for Stegmaier Gold Medal. This new design pays homage to the original medals logo the beer is named after. Stegmaier Gold Medal will be packaged in 12oz bottles and come in at 4.3% ABV.

Lion Brewery: Stegmaier Porter & Lionshead IPA

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 12:46:00 +0000

I’ve been getting lots of questions about what’s going on at Lion Brewery, so I thought I’d bring you some news. Yes Stegmaier Porter has returned after a hiatus and it was brewed just last weekend. here’s a peek at the keg label approved today for Stegmaier Porter (as well as Winter Warmer and several other Stegmaier Seasonal). No word yet on whether Porter will just be a seasonal brew but I’d say it looks likely. Also today we have an interesting new keg label for Lionshead IPA. Based purely on the 6.8% ABV I’d say this is a close-brother to Stegmaier IPA.

Stegmaier - Porter (New Packaging)

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 11:40:00 +0000

Here’s a peek at the new 12oz bottle label fro Stegmaier Porter. This classic Stegmaier offering comes in at 5.6% ABV and no before you ask there is no reason to think there is a recipe change…just a new package.

Lancaster Brewing - Strawberry Wheat (Lion Brewery)

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Sat, 30 Jun 2012 04:22:00 +0000

Here’s are the updated labels for Lancaster Brewing Strawberry Wheat & Oktoberfest. They’re both 12oz bottles and they’re brewed @ our very own Lion Brewery!

Lion Brewery / Pocono Brewing – Old Bastard, Other Woman IPA, Ball & Chain Lager, Sugar Daddy Lager & Pumpkin Ale

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Thu, 24 May 2012 10:00:00 +0000

Five NEW Lion Brewery / Pocono Brewing beers coming out today in keg-only packaging and with some pretty interesting names: Old Bastard Ale, Other Woman IPA, Ball & Chain Lager, Sugar Daddy Lager & Pumpkin Ale. These do sound suspiciously like similar Stegmaier/Lion Brewery beers so it should be interesting to see where these end up being sold.

Stegmaier - Summer Pils German-Style

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 04:30:00 +0000

Here’s your first look at what I believe will be the new Lion Brewery Stegmaier summer seasonal….Summer Pils German-Style. It’s a 12oz bottle and 5.1% ABV…and based purely on the style and ABV this appears to be a re-labeled version of Summer Stock Pils.

Stegmaier - Honeysuckle Ale

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:33:00 +0000

I’ve been hearing rumors of this beer for months so it’s exciting to finally see the label. Today we have Stegmaier Honeysuckle Ale or is it “Honey Suckle Ale?” This new malt beverage brewed with honey & spices appears to be the new Stegmaier spring seasonal we’ve been waiting to hear about.. From what I’m hearing, this beer is brewed with orange blossom honey, orange peel, lemon zest, and coriander so it should be interesting.

Lion Brewery - Arooga Light Beer

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:21:00 +0000

Here’s an interesting new brew from our friends at Lion Brewery that is brewed for Arooga’s Liquid Assets Brewing Co called Arooga Light Beer (120 calories). This is a keg-only release that I suspect is for Arooga’s Grille House from the Harrisburg area. Their website says the Arooga Light is brewed in Harrisburg, so this appears to be a recent move.

Boner - Beach Wheat

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:13:00 +0000

With Friday on the horizon, what would Thursday be with out a good Boner Beach Wheat? Coming out of Lion Brewery we brought you their Sun Kissed Wheat and even the funny news of their lawsuits…but here they are again today with Boner Beer Belgian-Style Beach Wheat. Despite this looking like a can label, it does appear to be a 12oz bottle…and it of course has a “touch” of coconut.

Lion Brewery – Hook & Ladder Ember Amber

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 05:01:00 +0000

I don’t know much about this specific beer, but it looks like our very own Lion Brewery will be contract brewing Hook & Ladder Brewing’s Ember Amber Ale. No real details yet so stay tuned.

Liebotschaner CANS & Stegmaier IPA !

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 14:09:00 +0000

We were the first to show off the Liebotschaner Cream Ale release from Lion back in July (here’s the bottle label)…so it’s fun to see the 16oz CAN label for Liebotschaner. Looks like we’ll see this GABF winning brew in 12oz bottles & 16oz cans. We also brought you 12oz Stegmaier cans back in April (Here’s the label), so it was also exciting to see Stegmaier IPA in 16oz bottles approved today! Can’t wait to try them both in person!

WILK Friday BeerBuzz–16 Sept 2011 (Stegmaier Pumpkin Ale w/Leo Orlandini)

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 14:19:00 +0000

I’ll admit it was hard to postpone last weeks Friday BeerBuzz, but given the magnitude of the flooding in our area, it was an easy decision. With so many friends and neighbors in harm’s way, it was the right thing to do.

To make up for last week I thought we’d do a special show today. I’m always happy when I can feature a local beer, from our local brewery and welcome the master brewer himself into the studio to sample it with us….and today we made that happen. Joining us to sample the new Stegmaier Pumpkin Ale was our very own Lion Brewery master brewer Leo Orlandini. Leo has been with us before to feature Oktoberfest, and we’ve also had a great time featuring Stegmaier Summer Stock & Holiday Warmer, but it was especially exciting today to feature a brand new beer in the Stegmaier lineup.

Pumpkin Ale was added to the latest lineup of Stegmaier Seasonal beers, and for me it also carries the distinction of being the first Stegmaier brew to carry the new label design that I’ve held in my hand. Recently the Lion Brewery did an overhaul on all of their Stegmaier labels, so I can honestly say it was fun to see one in person, and I think they look great.

Pumpkin Ale is a 5.5% fall beer, and it has a great subtle combination of pumpkin & spiced flavor. I like the balance Leo found in this brew between the distinct fall flavors you’d expect in a traditional fall beer and the subtle flavors that make it very drinkable. Not too much pumpkin, not too much fall spices, and just the right amount of flavor and body to carry you into cooler temperatures.

Thank you

to Leo Orlandini from Lion Brewery, Nancy, John, Joe, and Bosco for yet another fun Friday.

The Friday BeerBuzz…bringing good beers and good people together.

Here’s the new packaging for Lion Brewery’s Stegmaier Gold Medal 12oz bottle. This is another in the line of new packaging we brought you already

(IPA and Amber HERE, pumpkin HERE and even Liebotschaner HERE)…and today the tradition continues for this 4.3% brew.

Lion Brewery–LIEBOTSCHANER Cream Ale!

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 14:00:00 +0000

I reported it back in 2009 and since that time you have asked (and asked…and asked…and asked….) and Lion Brewery appears to have finally answered. I’m excited to show off the NEW packaging for the new Lion Brewery Liebotschaner Cream Ale. This 12oz bottle label carries the same shape as the updated Stegmaier line of brews, a “product of American brewing” tagline and the 1994-95 and 1995-96 GABF Gold medals (American Lager / Cream Ale category). Lion was also nice enough to include the 5% ABV, 12.5 O.G and even 14 IBU descriptors as well. Welcome back Liebotschaner!!

Stegmaier–Pale Ale New Label

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 11:53:00 +0000

We’ve been showing off the new Packaging for the Lion Brewery Stegmaier packaging…Here, Here and even Here. And today we have the new 12oz bottle package for Stegmaier Pale Ale (4.3% ABV).

Stegmaier Pumpkin Ale…and Many More…

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 13:41:00 +0000

Looks like today’s approval may confirm the upcoming fall release of Stegmaier Pumpkin Ale from our friends at Lion Brewery. We showed off the Bottle packaging back in May, so today’s keg packaging confirms we’re likely to see a seasonal release. It’s also worth noting that Stegmaier also received keg approval today for Summer Stock, Oktoberfest, Porter, Winter Warmer, Pale Ale, IPA, Belgian White, Gold and Amber Lager.

Lion Brewery Stegmaier–NEW Pumpkin Ale !

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Wed, 25 May 2011 14:36:00 +0000

I’m excited to be the first to show you the new packaging for Lion Brewery Stegmaier Pumpkin Ale (ale brewed with pumpkin and spices)…the first new brew to come out of the Stegmaier line in over a year. We’ve been showing you the new Stegmaier packaging, but this is an actual new beer. Looks like it will be packaged in 12oz bottles and come in at 5.5% ABV.

Lion Brewery–Stegmaier Oktoberfest 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Sat, 21 May 2011 04:19:00 +0000

here’s your first look at the new Lion Brewery Stegmaier Oktoberfest packaging for 2011. I brought you the IPA & Amber and White Ale…so why not show off the new Stegmaier Brewing Oktoberfest packaging. Yep it’s still a 12oz bottle and 6.1% ABV (with a pretzel)…and here’s the neck label too.

Stegmaier–White Ale New Packaging

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Thu, 19 May 2011 13:43:00 +0000

We brought you the new packaging for Stegmaier IPA and Amber from Lion Brewery…so today it’s exciting to see the new/retro packaging for Stegmaier White Ale. This package follows the same theme as the previous releases (except for the refreshing orange image) and like the others will be a 12oz bottle package (5% ABV). This should also squelch any rumors that White Ale was being dropped from the lineup.

Lion Brewery–Stegmaier NEW Packaging IPA and Amber Lager

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Thu, 05 May 2011 13:10:00 +0000

We were the first to show off the new can design for Stegmaier IPA…and at first I concluded it was only a radical change in the packaging that would be used on the specialty cans. Today we see approvals for 12oz bottles for Stegmaier IPA and Stegmaier Amber Lager. This new design uses a wood plank backing with the traditional and historical Stegmaier Brewing Company initials logo (SBC) with the tagline “Brewed in the Honorable Tradition of Charles Stegmaier.” Since the Lion Brewery recently re-designed all of it’s Stegmaier Packaging this was initially a surprise, however I can say there was some dissatisfaction at how recognizable the former packaging was. At 6.7% ABV for the IPA and 5.2% ABV for the Amber Lager, these appear to be the same recipes for these brews.
