(Lake Mills, WI) – Excerpted from today’s newsletter update from Tyranena Brewing…

“Doubly Down ‘N Even Dirtier On Tap And Out The Door: Haven’t heard enough times what Doubly Down ‘N Even Dirtier is? Well, here is our government-mandated Statement of Composition: “DOUBLE STOUT BREWED WITH COCOA NIBS AND AGED IN BOURBON BARRELS WITH COCOA NIBS AND VANILLA BEANS.” All in capital letters so it meets the government-mandated size of 2 mm (although sometimes they require it to be in the same type size and typeface as the brand name… you just never know). I am looking forward to even more government-mandated things in the years to come. But I digress… Doubly Down ‘N Even Dirtier is now on tap in the Tasting Room… but not for very long. I believe we are out of 4-packs at the brewery.

Doubly Down has been shipped to everyone that has placed an order with a couple of exceptions. You should be able to find it in Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago, Indiana and locally. Should be arriving in the Twin Cities near the end of the month. But it won’t be around for long… we had to ration our supply… and then lost quite a bit during bottling (I love the beer but really despise bottling beers with low carbonation as it is difficult to get the beer to foam over properly). As for the beer… you can really capture all of the major flavor components… the vanilla and cocoa stand out most… with the oakiness of the barrel and the roasted character of the malts following up.

Shaggin’ In The Wood Now Aging In Bourbon Barrels: Now that we finally had some space in the cooler (after removing all of the bourbon barrels filled with Doubly Down ‘N Even Dirtier) we have bourbon barrels aging Sheep Shagger Scotch Ale. Should be available in a couple of months.”
