Brau Bros Update

Good things are brewing at Brau Bros….

Hello from Lucan,

First off, thanks for all the support! Our coolers are almost empty and we’re busting butts around here just to keep up.

I’m very excited to introduce the Single Batch Series of beers. These beers will literally be produced in as little as a single batch. However, despite the small production runs, they will see store shelves. I don’t want to do seasonals, if I want to make Wit in December or Imperial Stout in June, I reserve the right.

Our first release is a double nut braun ale called Ring Neck Braun Ale. It will be released on October 13, pheasant hunting opener. At over 6.5%ABV, it’s sizeable, dry and fruity with hints of almond and raspberry but dry like a walnut. Fun ale and perfect for late fall!

We are producing under 900 cases and 32 kegs for this initial ale. We are preselling this beer on a first-come first-serve basis. Over 70% is spoken for, so please contact us if you would like our reps to be extra pushy with your favorite retailer!

We are going to pour a single quarter barrel at the ABR, that will be the ONLY event it will be sampled at. I’ve got the next couple of Single Batch Series beers planned, but I’d love to hear suggestions or ideas.

As always, please don’t hesitate to call or email!

Town Hall Beer Release: Fresh Hop 2007

This is one I always enjoy… Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery’s Fresh Hop. I thought about doing the same with a batch of homebrew, but my poor, poor Centennial hop bine only produced less than an ounce of hops… just not the same… My week is a little crazy and some of the MNBeer folks are meeting on the same night, so I’m hoping to find time to have some Fresh Hop. (I think it was at Autumn Brew Review last year, too…)

That’s right kids-
Our Fresh Hop 2007 will be released on Monday Sept 24, 5-6 pm release. We used 200lbs of Cascade hops this year…they were picked on wednesday and in our brewkettle Thursday morning at 9:38.(Those dudes @ Fedex really move!) If you want to know the real raw flavor of the American hop…..you have to try this beer!

Now these staggering numbers I just mentioned come at a cost, so expect your Fresh Hop to cost just a bit more……

Release 5-6 pm $3 rather than $2
Regular price pint $5 rather than $4
Growler price $12 refill rather $8
Growler new price $17 rather than $13

ALSO REMEMBER

Autumn Brew Review next Saturday…….We have tickets……Save yourself $5 per ticket……Buy them here when you stop in for Fesh Hop 2007.

Our Sunday brunch is rockin’ again! Each and every Sunday 9-noon. ONLY $10 and it includes your first Bloody Mary,Screwdriver, or Town Hall beer.

Cheers
Mike
