"It's wonderful to see so many Lunar New Year events celebrating different cultures. We're thrilled to continue sharing our Chinese heritage and upbringing with our community."

"The idea came around in the most organic way possible," Lucky Envelope Head Brewer and Co-Founder, Barry Chan, says about this unique flavor profile, "Over gin and tonics during the Washington Craft Beer Summit. We discussed numerous styles and flavorings, ultimately settling on black sesame and gochugaru because it not only sounded tasty but we've never brewed with sesame before."

The brewery will also release its sixth Lunar New Year collaboration with Highland Brewing from Asheville, North Carolina - a Year of the Snake Honey Amber Lager. To complete the lineup, Lucky Envelope will have a Pineapple Whip Sour Ale and a Pomegranate Hazy Pale Ale.

The excitement doesn't stop at beer. The brewery will have a limited amount of exclusive Year of the Wood Snake t-shirts for purchase and celebratory red envelope giveaways. Panda Dim Sum food truck will also be in attendance, serving up their delicious Asian cuisine from 3:00-8:30 PM on Saturday, February 1^st.
