This edition includes: Allagash Brewing, Victory Brewing, Flossmoor Station, The Bruery, Prodigal Brewery and Wild Heaven Craft Beers.

…From this morning’s Allagash Brewing newsletter, “In early October, we broke ground on our 5,000 square foot addition. The new space will be used primarily as a packaging area upon completion, and so we can make room for the six additional fermenters that we just ordered. We are hoping to have the addition complete by late December and completely functioning by the end of January.” Click here for the most recent updates including Mattina Rossa news.

…Victory Brewing announced the release of Yakima Glory, a beer that Victory’s Bill Covaleski calls a “dark ipa.” Covaleski also reveals that it’s the brewery’s fastest-selling seasonal ever. The beer was originally named Yakima Twilight before its launch last year. I offered my own speculation a few weeks ago as to why the name may have been changed.

…From Flossmoor Station‘s blog, “We have infused a little ghost pepper (a.k.a. Bhut jolokia) into our Iron Horse stout and have made Ghost of the Iron. We used just a single pepper in 7.5 gallons. Widely recognized as the hottest pepper in the world, the Bhut Jolokia measures in at over ONE MILLION Scoville heat units. Not just hot though, the Ghost pepper also has a very nice smoky flavor when dried and adds an additional dimension than just pure heat.”

…The Bruery announced on YouTube that it’s working on a new champagne-style beer that will apparently be released at the end of 2011 or in 2012.

…From Wild Heaven Craft Beers on Facebook, “New batches of Invocation & Ode To Mercy being kegged this morning! keep an eye out for this second batch of Ode – the coffee flavor…well….maybe just a touch more.”
