News from the Brewhouse
I wish I had time to visit Duluth and the Brewhouse…
Brewhouse Beer Releases:
Amsterdam Ale – hybrid pils/pale Belgian style beer. Soft pils notes with strong fruit esters and a dry finish [this beer is well-loved by at least some of the MNBeer.com staff]
Cask Brewhouse Pub Ale – English style light cream ale
Red Star & Burrito Union Beer Releases
Farmhouse Special Reserve – Farmhouse is a Belgian style saison ale. Fermers and rural folks traditionally brewed saisons in the spring for fall and winter drinking. We brewed our Farmhouse as holiday ale this year, adding ginger, coriander, grains of paradise and sweet orange peel. The light color and body hides a complex beer with many flavors and a dry finish.
The Blucy winner has been named
The Blue Door Pub congratulates Gerson Gerald on winning the first B.O.M. Builder contest for his Frenchy Blucy. While the other contenders were all more than worthy of the title, Gerson edged out the others with some strong support.
The Frenchy Blucy: Cheese and onions in the middle with a side of aus jus, this is a terrific spin on the old sandwich classic!
Stay tuned for an email blast about when you can come in and try the Frenchy Blucy for yourself. If you haven’t subscribed to their newsletter yet, get to it!
Again, congratulations Gerson on a well built Blucy!
Flat Earth Double Beer Release
Roll on out to the Muddy Pig tonight, Monday, December 29th at 5:00pm for a tapping of Flat Earth‘s Black Helicopter coffee stout and their Winter Warlock English barley wine. Jeff Williamson, Mr. Flat Earth himself, will be there to answer any and all questions. Enjoy!
