Raising Helles Kick Off Party at Seven Brides Brewing

Raising Helles Kick Off Party at Seven Brides Brewing
May 21 – Seven Brides Brewing has announced the release of their newest craft beer, a Munich-style lager dubbed Raising Helles. The Kick Off Party will be at their Tap Room from 3 to 10 pm.  The party will offer live music, pint & food specials as well as hourly prizes, including dinner for two, free growler fills and cases of Raising Helles.

The inspiration for Raising Helles came from co-owner Jeff DeSantis’ recent trip to Germany for Oktoberfest, where he sampled a traditional Munich Helles. “There was something special about that Helles,” says DeSantis. “It was both complex in flavor, while still easy to drink. I knew it would be a perfect spring and summer seasonal beer, something I could see myself and my friends enjoying back home.” Yet creating the perfect balance of flavors wasn’t easy to get right. “It seems like a simple beer, but to create that simplicity takes a very careful brew balance,” says Josiah Kelley, Seven Brides’ head brewer. “We experimented a lot before we got it right.” While great for warm weather, DeSantis also notes that it’s a perfect transitional beer. “It’s not a hoppy beer, has a fairly low alcohol content, and has a very approachable, drinkable profile. It makes Helles great for first timers just getting into beer, or for more seasoned aficionados looking to enjoy something special through a long afternoon.”
