Husband and wife team at ChuckAlek, Grant Fraley and Marta Jankowski, are committed to their mission of making “Old School Beers for New School Palates.” ChuckAlek’s brewery is based just outside of San Diego and they recently announced their official plans to open a second location in San Diego to be called, ChuckAlek Biergarten!
It has truly been an awesome year for Grant and Marta as they were also selected as the recipients of the Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream Brewing and Business Experienceship. As part of the program, the ChuckAlek team came to our Boston Brewery in May to receive coaching from the our Brewery team and collaborate with us on a beer – Time Hop Porter.
“We learned so much about business planning and moving our brewery forward in the few days we had with the Sam Adams team,” Marta said about her time spent in Boston. “The advice and mentoring is already having a positive impact on our business as we look toward opening our next tasting room. Our favorite part about the whole experience was developing the recipe for Time Hop Porter and brewing the collaboration beer at the Boston Brewery.”
At 5.3% abv, Time Hop Porter is a unique porter brewed with a blend of British malts including Maris Otter, Brown, Dark Crystal and Black to create a roasted flavor. The taste is complemented by the citrus notes and pine character from a blend of Admiral, East Kent Goldings, and Cascade hops- all contributing to the beer’s delicate bitter finish.
Beginning this week, Time Hop Porter will be available in select bars and restaurants in and around San Diego. The beer is also being served and sold in growlers at the Samuel Adams Boston Brewery with all profits being donated to fund microloans for small businesses owners through our Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream nonprofit partner, Accion. Additionally, Time Hop Porter is available at ChuckAleks’s Ramona, CA tasting room.
