“Every year we try to make our Chinese New Year celebration bigger and more exciting than the previous year,” said Raymond Kwan, co-founder of Lucky Envelope. The brewery is expected to release six specialty beers for the event including their Buddha’s Hand Citron IPA, Lychee Sour, Double Happiness Barrel-Aged Porter, Mijiaya Historic Chinese Beer, and the two collaboration lagers with Georgetown Brewing.

“It was an honor and pleasure to be able to brew not one, but two, collaboration beers with Manny, Matt and Jen from Georgetown Brewing,” says Barry Chan, co-founder and Brewmaster. “We spent a couple hours with their team trying different teas, herbs & spices to each come up with our own unique spins for the LuckyTown Chinese New Year Collaboration.” Lucky Envelope chose to use Jasmine and Honeysuckle in their “Lucky Pig Lager” while Georgetown Brewing’s “Happy Pig Lager” will feature Oolong tea.

Adding to the fun, Lucky Envelope will release its Double Happiness Barrel-Aged Imperial Porter, which was aged twice, first in a Malbec wine barrel and then in a Westland Distillery whiskey barrels. Described as “delightfully complex,” this one clocks in at 9.8 percent ABV,  with “red stone fruit and oak tannin combining with vanilla, smoke, and caramel.”
