Lake Forest, CA – The Rare Beer Club™ is
collaborating with Fullsteam Brewery in
Durham, NC to create this year’s Pints for Prostates/Rare Beer
Club™ exclusive beer. Pints for
Prostates raises awareness among men about the importance of regular health
screenings and PSA testing through the universal language of beer and has been
working together with The Rare Beer Club™ and U.S.
craft breweries for the last five years creating inventive and exciting beers
to help communicate their mission statement.
The beer will be featured in the club in September 2014,
coinciding with National Prostate Cancer Awareness month and will be named
exclusively by the public, as anyone can submit names for the beers on the
official contest page.
Fullsteam
wants this special beer to truly celebrate their "plow-to-pint"
mission, highlighting the diversity and beauty of North
Carolina. To that end, they’ve crafted a Spruce Pine
Gose, a piney, tart, and slightly salty beer, incorporating ingredients from
the North Carolina mountains
(spruce pine tips), Piedmont
(winter wheat), and coast (Outer Banks sea salt). Contestants are encouraged to visit the brewery’s website to view other beer names to note the current voice
and naming conventions used by the brewery.

Contest
Although
the new beer will only be available to members of The Rare Beer Club™,
both
members and non-members are invited to enter the contest, and submit up to
three entry names for the new beer. The
contest officially begins on July 3rd, 2014.

About
The Rare Beer Club™ and The Microbrewed Beer of the Month Club™:
The Microbrewed Beer of the Month Club™ offers four different
options for consumers. From the very inception of our original domestic beer of
the month club in 1994, we've focused on consistently providing three primary
product characteristics: Quality, Variety & Freshness. And in that spirit,
we now offer you four outstanding beer club options, each dedicated to those
same principles. Our owner's favorite club, The Rare Beer Club™,
features the finest the world of beer has to offer in limited-release,
celebratory, artisanal beers from some of Michael Jackson's favorite breweries.
Two different selections are presented each month in 750 ml bottles, often cork
finished, and some individually tissue wrapped. Members experience bold U.S. and imported interpretations of Farmhouse
Ales, Russian Imperial Stouts, Barley Wines, Belgian Abbey Ales, varied
Imperial, Extreme, Strong Ale and Grand Cru offerings, oak-aged ales imparting
bourbon and vanilla notes, and much more. Many selections are pushing the
envelope of creativity, are not yet distributed in the U.S., and brewed such that they can be cellared
and aged. More information is available
at www.beermonthclub.com.
