Vulcan, Alberta Feb 14, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Announced today, The Federation of Beer is brewing new limited-release ales and lagers under license from Paramount Consumer Products for the  Star Trek franchise. 2023 is the 30th Anniversary of Star Trek - Deep Space 9, and the Federation will feature several labels celebrating the series' anniversary.

"The Federation and Torchlight Brewing of Nelson will make "First Contact" in British Columbia on Valentine's Day. We thought it appropriate to ENGAGE ALE-iens and provide a "Hopportunity" for Star Trek fans to share a Limited Release Galaxy Hop Ale with their loved ones."

Josh Secord, co-founder of Torchlight Brewing in Nelson BC confirmed today the list of stores that will be stocked this week. They are listed on their website homepage, its link is below:

Josh is excited and assures "ALE-iens within British Columbia can "Engage!" and enjoy the Star Trek Galaxy hopped ale today in the West Kootenays. It is heading to the Interior of BC on Wednesday, February 15th, and to Vancouver on February 17th to a select few liquor stores near the Vancouver Convention Center where Fan-Expo is happening. Next week, it will be available on Torchlight's online store to be delivered anywhere in BC and I confirm that Albertans will be able to Engage in the brews release at the Edmonton Beer Fest, on March 10 & 11th! Torchlight's social media accounts and website will be rolling out all these details all week!"

"The Federation beams its recipes and labels into craft brewers throughout the alpha quadrant," confirms Vern Raincock. "Paramount Entertainment archivists, showrunners, and fans had an immediate effect on our new episodes and labels. "

"We intend to leverage the vision of local artists, brewers, and brewery suppliers as much as possible."

"We mash in small lot batches, and each limited-release recipe sources local malts and hops when available. Local terroir is affected by the impact of soil, microclimate, and topography on the growth of barley. The use of locally malted barley provides the source of an ale's flavor complexity. "
