First, we introduced Loophole 1.0 to you last September. Then came 2.0 in November and 3.0 in January. Just as restrictions were lifted in taprooms and breweries, version 4.0 came in May. We now bring you Loophole 5.0!
For those unfamiliar, or in case you need a refresher, the Loophole Series came out of a search to help boost revenue for our state’s smallest breweries during the COVID shutdown. Canning is not something all are especially well-equipped to do, and East End Brewing Company has been the “host brewery” for these collaborations.
We are pleased to announce the next version of Pennsylvania Loophole, version 5.0. Breweries In PA, along with East End Brewing Company and many other PA breweries, are releasing the fifth version of this beer (see the full list of breweries below).
Pennsylvania Loophole 5.0 is a 4.2% Coconut Lime Gose brewed with freshly squeezed lime and coconut purée. (Cue “put the lime in the coconut” jokes!). Along with East End and all the collaborating breweries, we thought a tropical fruit-themed beer would be the perfect thirst quencher for a mid-summer release! Loophole 5 satisfies with a bright tartness mellowed by a mildly sweet, coconut finish that leaves you cool, refreshed, and ready for another sip.
“We’re a little surprised to see the sustained interest in our Pennsylvania Loophole project, even after things have reopened a bit more across the state. But as long as there is still interest, we’re going to keep making it happen!” – Scott Smith, Owner of East End Brewing Company
