Spring Beer Releases:
**********************
Maibock (7.2%abv): We brewed this years Maibock in the German Brewing tradition, incorporating a double-decoction mash and a true 4 month lagering period. Gold color, emphasis on the malt and a complimentary bitterness.

Triple Oat Stout (5.6%abv): This beer is named for the usage of three forms of Oats in the mash – Golden Naked Oats, Toasted Flaked Oats and whole malted Oats. This trio makes itself known under a backdrop of stout roastiness. Complimented with a traditional stout tang on the finish to add a refreshing springtime zest.

Dark Knight is coming…. The Barrels have been emptied, the kegs have been filled and the Dark Knight is poised to make a return. Look for it on tap this Friday, May 12th…

For those of you that might not know about this cool resource, there is a site called BeerMapping.com which uses Google Maps to post beer locations around the Twin Cities. There are maps for many large metro areas in the U.S. too.

Here’s an update from Duluth’sLake Superior Brewing Co.

We have received our new bottling and it is running very well. Outbreaks of bottling induced Tourette Syndrome have been reduced by around 90%. It is a 2006 six head Maheen Merlin built just for us and it operates at over twice the speed of our old line. It also produces very little waste and doesn’t break down. This new line will enable us to ramp up output in the coming months.

Our current seasonal is the Seven Bridges Brown. This is a small beer brewed form the
second running of our Old Man Winter Barley Wine. This is one of a very few true small
beers commercially produced, so check it out.

As always, everyone is more than welcome to stop by the brewery and have a beer with us.
Give us a call at 218 723 4000 when you are headed up north.

Prost!
