Goat Patch Brewing Company Releases Pappy Legba Imperial Cherry Saison
Goat Patch Brewing releases long anticipated Pappy Legba Imperial Cherry Saison on draft and in bottles at the tap room May 27th at 5pm.
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — Atibon Legba, louvre port-la pou mwen! Little good Legba, open the door for me! Papa (Pappy) Legba is the master linguist, the trickster, warrior, and the personal messenger of destiny. He has the power to remove obstacles, and he provides opportunities while being the gatekeeper of voodoo folklore.
Goat Patch Brewing Company will be releasing the highly anticipated Pappy Legba Imperial Cherry Saison both on draft and in bottles in the Taproom on May 27th, 2022 at 5 PM.
Pappy Legba Imperial Saison was originally created by Co-Owner and Head Brewer of Goat Patch Brewing Company, Darren Baze. It was brewed at Trinity Brewing Company until September 2017 when Jason Yester, Head Brewer and Owner at the time, gifted the rights of the beer to Darren.
The beer is a deceptively smooth 13.4% ABV Imperial Saison brewed with over one pound of cherries per gallon and aged in rye whiskey barrels from local distillery, Axe and the Oak.
“We recommend sharing the bottles, but only with the best of friends.”

Elevation Beer CO. Releases Fruited Spring Seasonals
Raspberry Gulch and Pineapple Acide are now available for a limited time in six packs of 12 oz. cans.
PONCHA SPRINGS, CO— Spring has sprung in the Arkansas River Valley and Elevation Beer Co. has released two fruit beers to celebrate the season. Raspberry Gulch and Pineapple Acide are now available for a limited time in six packs of 12 oz. cans across Colorado while supplies last.
Raspberry Gulch is a fruited Imperial Saison with a traditional yeast strain from Belgium and nearly 18 pounds of raspberries per barrel. Raspberry Gulch plucks that high altitude tart trailside raspberry and puts it right in your glass. With subtle notes of hay and a comfortable 7.5% ABV, this seasonal release is the perfect way to start your spring adventures.
The French translation of sour, Acide, is the brewery’s trip into the increasingly popular style of kettle soured beers and has since spawned several fruit variants including Peach, Pomegranate, Raspberry, and now the return and canned debut of Pineapple Acide as the first 2019 release in the series.
Brewed with lactobacillus and coming in at 4.5% ABV, Pineapple Acide is delicately balanced for an approachable level of puckering sourness, pleasant acidity, and a tart refreshing finish on the tongue. Lemony and floral aromas arise from a generous dose of Amarillo hops and meld with a subtle graininess making Pineapple Acide a hit with brewery staff and patrons alike.
