MacTarnahan's Brewing Introduces Winter Humbug'r
A deceptively dark holiday ale, decking the halls with cheer.
PORTLAND, OR - October 15, 2009 - MacTarnahan’s Brewing Co, brewers of Portland’s original amber ale introduce a new seasonal WINTER HUMBUG’rTM Porter.
MacTarnahan’s Winter HumBug’r is a rich holiday porter with deep, dark character and rich malt flavor. We are all familiar with the “HumBug’r.” You know when he has arrived. Wheeling through the party, being too loud, crowding the buffet, lurking under the mistletoe and spilling cheer. Winter Humbug’r dark malt body and rich roasted flavor will unravel your ribbons and leave you wanting more! Too bad it only comes once a year. Good thing there’s plenty more where it came from.
Offered in both bars and retail stores, HumBug’r will be served on-tap, in 22oz bottles, and 6 and 12-packs of 12oz. bottles. HumBug’r will be available anywhere MacTarnahan’s other award winning beers can be found in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and Hawaii.
“Following the successful releases of Sling Shot Extra Pale and Summer Grifter IPA, we’re excited to introduce a new porter for the holiday season. With HumBug’r we are offering a limited edition porter with deep, dark character and rich malt flavor that will unravel your ribbons and deck the halls with cheer!,” said Mark Carver, Director of Pontification and Tale Telling at MacTarnahan’s Brewing.
