Two breweries along the Detroit and Windsor riverfront, Batch Brewing Company (Detroit, MI, USA) and Motor Craft Ales (Windsor, ON, Canada), have released their latest collaboration beer, Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree. The rosemary and chestnut pale aleis brewed with Michigan malt and chestnuts. Motor City Malthouse’s German-style malt and Treeborn’s chestnuts are accompanied with a clean yeast profile, allowing the rosemary’s herbal and piney qualities to shine, while the chestnut sweetness provides depth to the beer.

North Peak Brewing Company is known for their IPAs. From their classic Diabolical to a Stormy—an oat IPA to Hoodoo—a wet-hopped IPA released every fall, the bold, hoppy style of beer is a constant throughout the brewery’s portfolio. The brewery shifted from their beloved headier, high alcohol IPA to create new, more balanced hoppy ale. Reminiscent of the traditional pale ale style of beer, North Peak is releasing Original Pale Ale. Brewed to be a lighter, more drinkable beer to be enjoyed all year round.
