Schell’s Stag Series #2

By on July 12, 2010in breweries

Wild Rice Farmhouse Ale. Due out Oct 1. 2010. From the Schell’s website:

The second release in the Stag Series is August Schell’s interpretation of a traditional Belgian Farmhouse Ale.  This Farmhouse Ale exhibits an earthy/nutty character due to the generous use of Minnesota Wild Rice, the State Grain of Minnesota.

The Wild Rice is combined with 2-Row, Munich, Vienna, and a touch of Rye malt to create a complementary backbone to the unique fermentation characteristics of the yeast.  Dry and thirst quenching, this Farmhouse Ale is hopped with Goldings.

• 29 International Bitterness Units
