Picaroons releases new 506 Logger

As per the Picaroons Facebook Page, the newest brew they have added to their portfolio is 506 Logger.  The brew is described as:

Brewed in Fredericton, New Brunswick (a far cry away from Cologne, Germany), this crisp, LIGHT and refreshing ale is by most definitions a “Kölsch”.
Golden in color, and modestly hopped with traditional German hops; this well balanced nectar rings in at about 4.5% ABV. A great companion to a sunny summer day in the ‘506’ if you ask us…

For the non-New Brunswickers reading this, 506 is N.B.’s area code.

There is also a note on the page saying that it is available while supplies last at the Brewtique in growlers… for now.  Here’s hoping that’s a sign it’ll be popping up in 500ml bottles in the near future.
