(Easton, PA) – Weyerbacher Brewing just dropped off its latest newsletter.
A couple important tidbits from this afternoon’s letter:
“[…] we have still made time to keep up the Brewer’s Select Series. Lima is up next and no, we did not make a lima bean beer or anything inspired by the Peruvian capital city. We made a relatively new style (new to GABF) called an “American-Style India Black Ale”. The name is pretty self explanatory, but you’ve already had a beer or two so I’ll explain. It is like taking a traditional IPA and adding dark malts which add color and a moderate roasty character. It is still in the tank as I type, but we have added nearly 5.5 pounds of hops per barrel making this beer as sticky as any we have ever made. It should end up being around 6.3% ABV and will tip the IBU scale at around 70.”
“At this time our management team is contemplating the possibility of making Verboten, our Belgian-style Pale Ale a year-round beer in 2011. We’d like to get as much feedback on this as possible before we make the final decision. Please write us through the website and let us know what you think.”
In addition, don’t forget about Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin which is out in several markets now.
