USA, CA: Latitude 33 Brewing Company to release Biere de Mars as first anniversary beer

Latitude 33 Brewing Company announced on March, 7 that it would release its anniversary beer, Latitude 33 Biere de Mars, at its first anniversary celebration on March 9, 2013.

The Biere de Mars, French for “March Beer,” is a farmhouse beer originally brewed in March or early spring in Northern France as well as some areas of Southern Germany and Belgium.

“We wanted to brew something unique to celebrate our anniversary, but it’s not as easy as you might think in a craft beer market like San Diego County,” said Latitude 33 head brewer Kevin Buckley. “The Biere de Mars had special appeal because it’s both unusual style and traditionally brewed to begin a new season.”

The Latitude 33 Biere de Mars makes its debut on tap in the Latitude 33 tasting room at the brewery’s anniversary party this Saturday, March 9, 2013. It will be released to distribution and should be available on draft throughout San Diego County and select locations in the greater Southern California area beginning the week of March 18.
