On November 1, Port City Brewing Company welcomes back Tidings Ale as one of our Limited Release brands. This strong, spicy Belgian-style blonde ale, brewed with Virginia wildflower honey and wheat, was the first beer we brewed with locally grown Virginia wheat from Bay’s Best Feed (Heathsville, VA). This is the same wheat that is used to brew our flagshipOptimal® Wit. Gently spiced with coriander, cardamom, fresh ginger, and grains of paradise, Tidings® balances complexity and drinkability like few other beers can.

“Every brewery needs a holiday beer and I wanted to break the mold to some degree. People associate dark, strong and occasionally spiced ales with the season, the classic ‘winter warmer’”, says Head BrewerJonathan Reeves, “We wanted to go in the opposite direction with something just as flavorful, but lighter in color.”

Port City will welcome the beer back starting with a release party at the brewery on Friday, November 1st, with market releases shortly following. To further celebrate the season, Port City will feature a barrel-aged version of Tidings®, along with Holiday Trivia and photos with Santa at Good Tidings Sunday on December 8th.
