(Placentia, CA) – Another inbox update, this time from The Bruery.

Courtesy of the newsletter…

* There are still some Loakal Red bottles available. Here’s the beer description:

“Our tribute to the growing Orange County beer scene. We brewed up this oak-aged hoppy red ale that will be released only in our home, Orange County. A hoppy red ale at heart, we, like many other SoCal brewers, chose the citrus & floral notes of the Centennial hop to balance the light caramel sweetness of the malt. But, of course, we couldn’t leave well enough alone. So a portion of an older batch, left to mature in new American oak barrels, is blended with the fresh dry-hopped batch. The resulting blend has notes of toffee, orange peel, crushed herbs, vanilla & freshly sawn oak, for a beer that is intricate yet unassuming.
6.9% ABV”

* The Bruery has pushed back the release of Three French Hens to early November.

* Did you miss out on Black Tuesday tickets? There is a pair now up for bidding on eBay along with a voucher for three Black Tuesday bottles included. As of press time, the current bid is $355. The proceeds go to charity.

* “We’ll be putting our 2011 Reserve Society memberships on sale to new members beginning on November 1st. Stay tuned for more information next week!”

* Via the Twitter feed on Wednesday night, “just finished up brewing another Provisions Series beer. This one has some smoked malt in it.”

* Finally, here is a flashy little video about Black Tuesday. Maybe it will help the trade value when you can say, “Yeah but that beer doesn’t have its own video like this one does.”
