(Baltimore, MD) – DuClaw Brewing just sent out a newsletter update.
From the newsletter:
“Once again, Santa has decided to make a special early delivery to all of the good girls and boys on his list: One keg of “31” and one keg of Devil’s Milk! On Thursday July 22nd, Santa’s helpers at DuClaw Brewing Company will tap these special mid-summer treats and pour* until they’re empty. But, remember, there is only one keg of each, and once they’re gone, there will be no more until fall!
“31” Spiced Munich Dunkel (2008)
This German-style amber lager tricks you with its smooth, malty taste and moderate 5.1% abv, then treats your palate with a spicy finish of cinnamon and nutmeg. Alcohol Content: 5.1%
Devil’s Milk Barley Wine (2009)
Devil’s Milk is an American-style Barley Wine. This beer exhibits a wealth of fruit flavors, from pears to plums to raisins. Devil’s Milk is dry hopped (hops added after fermentation) for a strong bite that balances its big malt backbone. Served in a snifter glass because of the high abv, barley wines are perfect as a relaxing “after-dinner” drink or nitecap. Alcohol Content: 10.5%
*Because of the limited quantities of these beers, no growler fills or refills will be available until Friday the 23rd.
Bad Moon Porter
There’s a BAD MOON on the rise! While Alchemy Oatmeal Stout will be absent from our lineup for a while, the magic has not left with it; BAD MOON PORTER is back! For those of you unfamiliar with our complex, Robust Porter, it is full bodied with chocolate and coffee-like flavors and color from dark roasted malts. These big malty flavors are balanced by a light hop presence that gives this dark delight its smooth finish.”
Also of note, there has been no update on DuClaw MISERY since the brewery’s note around the first of this month that it would be delayed:
“The release of our Wheat Wine-Ale, MISERY, originally scheduled for June 30th has been temporarily postponed. Apparently, DuClaw Brewing Company Brewmaster, Jim Wagner, […] is fighting a particularly hearty batch of yeast that just refused to stop working, preventing him from filtering and kegging the beer. We apologize for any inconvenience that this delay may cause our customers, and assure you all that we will bring the pain as soon as possible.”
