Cigar News: Omar de Frias Announces Fratello Beer

Omar de Frias announce today, one more shot at beer as he has partnered with Adroit Theory Brewery in Purcerville, VA to create three new styles of beer.

Omar states:

“This is a project that has been in the works for quite some time. Following the success of our smaller projects Terminal Descent back in 2019 and the Fratello Hazy IPA in 2020 we knew this was going to be an ongoing initiative for us”

This time, the Nasa Employee – turned Cigar Maker will offer three different brews:

  • Classico IPA, is a golden American IPA where the bitterness is balanced and imparts an alluring blend of resin and citrus flavors. Presentation is 16 Oz. Cans 4-Packs/24-case) ABV:6.1%
  • Oro Mexican Lager, Clean and refreshingly crisp lager. Made with flaked maize for maximum smoothness and no bitterness. Presentation is 16 Oz. Cans 4-Packs/24-case) ABV:4.5%
  • Imperiale Hazy IPA, This fresh take on a New England style IPA uses lactose to produce a creamy malt body with minimal bitterness and tropical sweetness. Presentation is 16 Oz. Cans 4-Packs/24-case) ABV:8.1%

“We set out to make a craft beer to pair with our cigars. This resulted in controlling the hops, bitterness and sour taste of our beers that tend to offset a great pairing.” Said de Frias.

Mark Osborne Owner of Adroit Theory added:

“We are proud to partner with Omar and the Fratello Team in this new project. Their team and ours created a great synergy where we challenged each other’s palates in creating three beautiful styles of beer.”

Fratello Beer will be available in 17 Total Wines Stores in Northern Virginia and in the state of Louisiana starting June 15th 2021.
