New and Now Availables is a weekly(?) feature here at DCBeer.com. In an effort to keep readers informed about the newest beers (local and otherwise) appearing in the market and on beer menus, we'll be sharing the beer submissions we get from breweries and brewpubs. These may be brand new beers or they may be beers returning to rotations (e.g., seasonals, limited releases), or they may be one-offs. Notably, this list isn't comprehensive, but really how could it be? It relies on submissions from breweries. Are you a brewery with a beer you'd like to see here? Use our form. Cheers and thanks for reading!
Brewery Name: District ChopHouse & Brewery
Beer Name: Lost Cliché (Aroma Forward IPA-7.1)
Beer Description: This unfiltered IPA is a lesson of hop over indulgence. Unapologetic flavors of resin, light pine, berry and melon are followed by bold aromas of citrus, papaya, blueberry, and grape/white wine. Bitterness compliments, but doesn't overwhelm. Massively double dry hopped with Mosaic, Nelson Sauvign, and a touch of Equinox. Warning: Lost Cliche will flat out assault your palate.

Brewery Name: Right Proper Brewpub
Beer Name: Benny and Joon (Belgian Style Wit-4.70%)
Beer Description: This classically brewed Belgian style witbier was brewed with wheat malt and oats then fermented at cooler temperatures to encourage spicy clove esters. We put our twist on this classic by using citra hops in place of orange peel and for added aromatics we tossed in juniper and black pepper at the end of the boil.

Brewery Name: Right Proper Brewing Company and Modern Times
Beer Name: Hyperborea (Nordic Farmhouse Ale-6.50%)
Beer Description: Our collaborative beer with our friends at Modern Times in San Diego is a tribute to the ancient farmhouse brewing traditions of Norway. A sturdy amber colored ale brewed with smoked malts, oats, and juniper berries and fermented with a Nordic yeast strain. Instead of brewing with water, we steeped whole juniper branches overnight to create a juniper-infusion to use as the brewing liquid. Expect ancestral flavors of smoke and juniper.
