Ouch. If you’ve e-mailed us within the last day, please resend. Something went awry on our host’s side and it looks like some e-mail may have been lost in the abyss. Thanks.

Sometime I'll tell you about my grand theory that links craft brewing to punk rock. Just ask.

More New Beer From Schell’s…
…can I get a drumroll? Here’s the skinny from Schell’s…
Schell Anniversary Draft Series #4 : 1890 Schwarzbier – OG 14.0° , IBU 30.
Literally translated as “Black Beer.” Often referred to as a “Black Pils” due to it’s higher hopping levels. In reality, Schwarzbiers are neither truly black, nor as hoppy as a Pilsner. Schwarzbiers are a regional specialty beer from southern Thuringen and northern Franconia in Germany, and most likely began as a variation of the dunkel. Rich, mild, and remarkably well balanced. Lighter in body than its black ale counterparts with notes of bittersweet chocolate and vanilla.
Release Date: Oct 23,2008 honoring the birthday of Warren “Schmaltz” Marti, President of Schell’s from 1969-1985.
Schell Snowstorm 2008: Weihnachtsbier – OG 16.0° , IBU 26
As the days grow shorter and colder in Bavaria, shoppers exhausted from a day at the open air market look forward to stopping by their local for a nourishing glass of the seasonal specialty:
Weihnachtsbier. Snowstorm 2008 was designed with the cold days of winter in mind. Reddish brown in color with a complex maltiness yielding hints of spicy rye, sourdough, and chocolate. Brewed with nine different malts, including copious amounts of Munich and a touch of Rye.
Snowstorm will be available at the ABR vom Fass, along with some U-bier, Stout, Octoberfest, and the Dampfbier.

McCann’s Autumn Brew Review Lineup
Here goes… Chris also has keg-hopped Euro Pils on tap right now at McCann’s. Drink up!
Keg Hopped Deep Seven
I load handfuls of leaf hops in a keg and top it off with our house IPA. Hop heaven!
Flame
A strong amber ale aged on toasted french oak with organic Flame raisins and an artfull blend of exotic sugars. Like nothing you have tried before! Available only here at the Autumn Brew Review (for now).
Ghost Rider Pumpkin Ale
I add pumpkin in the mash of this light amber ale, then steep our secret blend of spices to the brew kettle to remind you of grandma’s favorite pumpkin pie recipe. A perfect ale for harvest time in Minnesota.
Middle Town Braun
Brewed with large amounts of Munich malt, with smaller portions of dark crystal and chocolate malts. Balanced toffee/caramel notes with a light roasted background. A nice session beer we like to drink out of liter mugs at the brew pub.
Euro Pils
Brewed with 100% of the highest quality pilsner malt and Saaz hops from the Czech Republic. This golden lager is aged slowly at just above freezing for a clean, crisp finish. I LOVE saaz hops, so I add fresh Saaz hops to the fermenter during aging, resulting in a wonderful floral aroma and a thirst quenching finish.
