Ladies and gentlemen, Tony Beard ... NABC's graphics wunderkind in residence.
Here is the 60-word capsule for the Tricentennial label:
New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Way back in 2013, as the city celebrated its 200th birthday with the usual backward-looking festivities, NABC elected to focus on the Tricentennial year of 2113, knowing that future New Albanians will echo the refrain heard across three centuries of civic history: What on earth were they thinking?
As formulated by David Pierce, the beer is being brewed to these specs:
Malt: Rahr Pale Malt, Castle Aromatic Malt, Weyermann Rauchmalt, Sorghum from Mast and Lykins Sorghum Farms
Hops: US Goldings
Yeast: SWV House Ale
OG: 17 degree Plato
ABV: 7.5%
IBUs: 33
Previously I've provided the release schedule for Tricentennial Ale. You can taste the beer on June 1 at the Culbertson Mansion's garden gala, and a very limited, hand-numbered bomber bottle run will follow in early June. Tricentennial will appear at intervals for the remainder of 2013.
I'll see your bicentennial, and raise you a Tricentennial. Whatcha got?
Tricentennially speaking, the Culbertson Mansion is "the jewel of New Albany."
