Jace Marti dropped me a line this morning to share a little information about Schell’s new Stag Series. As you may know, Schell’s has aged a portion of this year’s Schmaltz’s Alt in pinot barrels. They bottled this beer last week and it should start arriving on shelves sometime next week in select locations throughout MN. This beer is available in 22oz bottles only for the first release, 2600 bottles total.
Granite City will be tapping their next seasonal on Sunday, May 23rd and as usual there will be a Mug Club party.
About the beer:
“A beautiful golden color with crisp, spicy, and malty flavors. It’s the perfect summer time refresher!”
About the party:
Free to Mug Club Members & 1 guest
Complimentary appetizer buffet of BBQ pulled pork and dinner rolls with coleslaw and Granite City’s sepcially seasoned, kettle cooked chips.
