Leak! So much for waiting until December. Beer Advocate member, eallured, has posted up an unofficial list of Unplugged Series beers to come from New Glarus Brewing next year: Enigma, Apple Ale, Cherry Stout, and Abt. “Also, they are ‘thinking’ of replacing Hop Hearty w/ a ‘paler, West Coast type aromatic’ ale (we all know about the beer now but interesting that it might replace one of the year-round beers).
Also on Beer Advocate, Alan Sprints of Hair of the Dog Brewing revealed the following about the 16th Anniversary Sale (taking place at the brewery on November 14th: “I will have new bottlings of Cherry Adam, Blue Dot, Fred from the Wood, Doggie Claws and a new release, Michael. Michael is a Flanders Red, made in memory of Michael Jackson. The beer was brewed in January of 2007, and aged in American oak and Sherry barrels since then. It is just over 6% alcohol, made with Organic Pilsner, Vienna and Munich malts and fermented with a varriety of yeast and bacteria. I will also have some older batches of Claws available and larger format bottles of some beers.”
He also revealed on Twitter last month that he was “aging 130lb of peaches with Fred in a Rye Whiskey cask for a year” so there is a sneak peek at what is to come for the 17th Anniversary. He has another batch of Flanders aging for the 18th Anniversary.

Wgie Claws where can I find Doggie Claws in the Sacramento area?
Good question. You should call the brewery and find out if they work with a distributor in the area and then go from there.
I was at the brewery in August while he was creating a new batch of Doggie Claws. One guy did all that work by hinself. Amazing, he barely had time, which I greatly thank him for, to pour us a taste. I’d be suprised if he had time to pick up a phone, and who would want to disturb a master at work.
