Special Event
On Thursday, November 17th, we’ll be debuting Idiot’s Drool from 5-8 pm at the brewery. Idiot’s Drool is an Old Ale that has spent 4 1/2 years in oak barrels.
Head Brewer, Chris Wilson says, “It’s a full-bodied, deep burgundy ale with an incredibly complex character. Extended aging has imbued this beer with notes of vanilla, oak, leather and sweet sherry. A mild acidity and subtle carbonation rounds out the palate. Truly fantastic!”
There are only 840 bottles available, so it is a Brewery Only release. Idiot’s Drool is only available in 750 ml cork and cage bottles, with a max of 6 bottles per customer. Since our license only allows us to sell a case of 12 of the 750 bottles, you can choose from our selection of available 750 bottles: Merry Monks, Double Simcoe or Rapture. That’s right – Rapture!! We have another 60 cases we’ve held back just so they would be available at this event. Idiot’s Drool is $23 per bottle, ABV is 12%. Our brewers will be present at this special event to answer all queries.
Chris Wilson, Head Brewer:
Here comes the light of an autumn moon. You can enjoy that Imperial Pumpkin Ale now, he he he! AutumnFest is out there as well. It seems these beers are getting more and more popular. Get out there and find ‘em while you still can.
I hope all of you made it out last month for the release of our new American Wild Ale, Rapture. I know many of you did because it was a great success! Outside of a slight (ok, more than slight) register problem, everything went great. We had a great night, a great crowd and a great response to Rapture. Thanks to all who made it to the brewery and helped us celebrate our newest beer and for being patient during our register issues. Also, thanks for keeping our parking lot clean (except for that one car, you know who you are).
We have a nice addition to our Brewer’s Select Series, Sierra. This velvety black Milk Stout is full-bodied, yet drinkable and delicious. We have used an intricate mix of 7 malts to yield aspects of coffee, bitter cocoa and toasted oats. Then just as you might add cream to your espresso, we add a dose of lactose sugar to balance out the roasted flavors. This combo gives you a beer that is chocolaty and creamy. Delicious!
Winter Ale will be hitting the shelves very soon as well. I think there is enough of a chill in the air (at night at least) to make it feel just right. QUAD is on the horizon too!
Don’t Run, Don’t Rush, Just Flow,
Chris W.
