3/1/2019 -- Catawba Brewing Celebrates 8 Years of Peanut Butter Jelly Time

Catawba's legendary “PB&J sandwich in a glass” returns to tasting rooms with 3 new fruit variations.

The legendary “PB&J sandwich in a glass,” Peanut Butter Jelly Time (5.7 percent ABV) makes its annual return to the Catawba menu on Friday, March 1. The beer starts as a light brown ale with a touch of wheat in its malt bill, providing the bready base for the star ingredients – real raspberry puree and whole roasted North Carolina peanuts. Catawba’s most popular Specialty Series beer since 2012, PB&J will be available on draft and in 4-pack 16oz cans. Find it at all four Catawba tasting rooms, the Palmetto Brewing tasting room in Charleston, and in 5-state distribution.

Continuing a new tradition started last year, the release party for Peanut Butter Jelly Time will include three specialty variations of the beer. PB&J flavors for 2019, in addition to the original Raspberry, will include Strawberry-Rhubarb, Blackberry, and the debut of Black Currant. This year marks the first appearance of a spin-off flavor in cans, as PB&J Strawberry-Rhubarb is available in extremely limited 4-packs. These Small Batch beers were brewed in Catawba’s Asheville and Charlotte brewhouses, and will be sold exclusively in their tasting rooms. A special PB&J flight will be offered while supplies last.
