Hop Scare Returns

Now going by the name, Hop Scare II, this great IPA that was last seen in the fall has returned to the taps at Great Waters!

It’s baaaaack! This is a midwestern IPA. That means that the fine flavor of barley is balanced with the snappy floral and citrusy flavor and aroma of three hop varieties. While plenty hoppy, this IPA is more than just hop juice. Let’s hope for plenty more sequels.

Schell’s Anniversary Series #7 – Roggenbier

OG 14 Plato
IBU 15

Do you love Dunkleweizen? How about rye beers? If the answer is “yes,” you’re going to want to get your hands on Schell’s Anniversary Series #7- Roggenbier.

Roggenbiers are a German specialty beer originally brewed in Regensberg, Bavaria. They were quite popular at one time; these days, however, they are very rare.

Schell Roggenbier is fermented with Schell’s very special Hefe yeast. The flavor profile is reminiscent of cloves, bananas, vanilla, a dash of chocolate, and the spicyness of malted rye.

The release date for Schell Roggenbier is July 5, 2009, commemorating the birthday of Al Marti, President of August Schell Brewing from 1934-1969.
