Carey over at Summit sent me a bottle of cough syrup and the full details on #2 in the Unchained Series.

Here you go Mr. Anderson, to cure what ales you:

90/-, a Scottish Style Ale with Heather, will be the next beer in the Summit Unchained Series.  Veteran brewer Eric Blomquist will be in charge of this hearty brew, perfect to ward off the impending chill of winter.  Look for this beer in November.  Some stats:

The 90/- will have a rich mahogany appearance with an off white to tan head.  The center point of this ale is smooth and rounded, yet complex, malt characteristics which include caramel notes and a hint of roastiness.  In the background, light herbal flavor and aroma from the heather and Willamette hops will be followed by a slightly warming and sweet finish.  It will be light to moderate in carbonation.

Color:  Mahogany
Malt:  Blend of Golden Promise with other specialty malts and grains from the UK
Kettle Additions: Target and Willamette hops,  wild Scottish heather
Yeast:  Authentic UK Ale strain
OG:  16.5 ° Plato
IBU:  25
ABV:  7.0%

Schell’s just posted on their Facebook page that the 2009 Snowstorm will be a Baltic Porter. Dave Berg sent us a few more details about this beer, so we thought we’d share:

Snowstorm 2009

OG 17.5 Plato
IBU 31
SRM 63

Beer writer Lew Bryson referred to Baltic Porters  as “a trainwreck between a Dopplebock and an Imperial Stout.”  If the shoe fits…

Copious amounts of Munich malt coupled with 3 British crystal malts, British Chocolate, and some other stuff, Snowstorm 2009 displays flavor reminiscent of dark fruit, licorice, and chocolate.

Release Date:  Nov 1, 2009

That’s right, boys and girls. If you were dragging your feet about purchasing your tickets to SurlyFest you are now up a creek without a paddle as there are no more tickets available.
