The Bronx Brewery Releases ‘El Serrano Red IPA’ Limited Edition Beer

New York City’s Premier Pale Ale Producer Partners with The Bronx Greenmarket Hot Sauce Makers to Infuse IPA with Locally-Grown Hot Peppers.

The Bronx Brewery, New York’s leading producer of pale ales, has released a limited edition beer to the greater NYC market. Available on draft in major accounts across NYC and select New Jersey and Westchester locations, Bronx ‘El Serrano’ Red IPA is made with serrano peppers grown locally in 23 different Bronx community gardens that comprise The Bronx Greenmarket Hot Sauce.

“We’re excited to be working with the makers of The Bronx Hot Sauce to launch the first of our B-Side Series. It’s great to collaborate with another neighborhood business that shares our mission to produce high quality, local products we can all enjoy while giving back to the community.”
– Patrick Libonate, VP of Marketing

‘El Serrano Red IPA’ Limited Edition Beer

The 9-percent ABV Red IPA recipe was created by Head Brewer Damian Brown.

“El Serrano Red IPA is the latest in great flavor coming from The Bronx. We’re very thankful that The Bronx Brewery chose our locally grown peppers to use in this limited edition release. Food and drink lovers in the Tri-State area continue to respond positively to various tastes of The Bronx.”
– John A. Crotty, Co-Founder of Small Axe Peppers, Producer of The Bronx Greenmarket Hot Sauce

The serrano peppers and habañero chiles give it a subtle pepper aroma and a soft, lingering touch of spicy heat to balance the sweet malt flavors and hop bitterness,” he says.

El Serrano Red IPA is the first installment of The Bronx Brewery’s “B-Side” series, a lineup of specialty beers to be offered periodically each year. A nod to The Bronx’s deep and influential music history and hip-hop roots, “B-Side” beers mirror those hard-to-find tracks on the flipside of the record. The series complements The Bronx Brewery’s year round and seasonal line up as rare brews that break from the producer’s traditional pale ales to create special and unique blends.

“This partnership between the teams at Bronx Hot Sauce and the Bronx Brewery represents some of the best our borough has to offer,These two local businesses have teamed up to create another great product that represents our borough in a positive light, and I urge visitors from all over the region to check out the great flavors The Bronx has to offer.”
– Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.

El Serrano Red IPA will be available for a limited time this fall in prime accounts including The Bronx Ale House, Ulysses, Barcade, The Bronx Beer Hall, Bling Tiger, The Ginger Man, Tribeca Tap House and more.
