Stony Creek Brewery, a leading regional craft brewery located in Branford, Conn., partnered with Bigelow Tea for the release of two new tea-infused beers this winter. The new beer creations, - named No Comment and Carpe Tea-em – mark the first-ever beer collaboration between the two Connecticut businesses.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with Bigelow Tea, a local, family-owned business with a commitment and passion for both their tea and their community,” said Ed Crowley Jr., president of Stony Creek Brewery. “As a family-owned business, we share the same passion for our beer, and our values align with our strong commitment to our community.”
Each company and its respective family, the Crowleys and the Bigelows, said they play an important role in their local communities through commitments to quality products, workforce focus and charitable ties.
“Partnering with Stony Creek Brewery provides an opportunity to think beyond our core business, while supporting a like-minded and local Connecticut business,” said Cindi Bigelow, third-generation president, and CEO of Bigelow Tea. “It is exciting to see the innovative flavors Stony Creek Brewery has created and how our tea ingredients have been infused to create these new beers. We look forward to where this partnership takes us in the years to come.”
A rich, drinkable German-style lager, No Comment features the perfect infusion of Bigelow’s “Constant Comment” – a blend of black tea, orange peel and sweet spices.
Carpe Tea-em is a complex Hefeweizen bursting with the aroma and flavor of bright citrus bergamot fruit delivered by Bigelow’s Earl Grey Tea.
To infuse the tea, the unfermented beer is brought to a boil before the hops are added, creating the ideal time to steep the tea. The tea is then brewed directly into the beer.No Comment and Carpe Tea-em can be found in select stores and fine restaurants and bars throughout New England.
Stony Creek Brewery is one of Connecticut's largest brewing facilities and taprooms. The brewery produces 20 different beers and has distribution throughout Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York State, Rhode Island and Vermont.
Bigelow Tea Company produces two billion tea bags annually, and the Bigelow Tea line includes more than 150 varieties of Flavored, Traditional, Green, Herbal, Decaffeinated, steep by Bigelow Organic, Bigelow Benefits Wellness teas and Bigelow Botanicals Cold Water Infusion – including its flagship specialty tea flavor, “Constant Comment.”
