In this edition, some updates from SoCal and Oregon…

…The Bruery announced that its collaboration with Cigar City Brewing, to be released this year, will be called Marron Acidifie. Details remain scarce at the moment but here are a few details from a late 2009 Brewing Network interview via weatherdog on BA:

– They brewed it on November 9 and 10 2009.
– The beer is along the lines of a sour brown ale.
– 16.5 degrees plato OG fermented with lacto and pedio and maybe Brett put in later; all sour yeast used, no Saccharomyces.
– They also might blend another sour mash version into the 30 barrels already brewed.
– It will be aged on wood with California dates and Miami Black Sapotes used for a secondary fermentation in the barrels.

The Bruery also apologized for Saturday’s Reserve Society party fiasco.

…The Full Pint reports, “AleSmith will be releasing Barrel Aged Wee Heavy on January 26, 2011 at their facility. There should be a 3-4 (Still TBD) bottle limit looking at about 900 bottles for sale.” Head over there for a comprehensive AleSmith update.

…The New School Blog reports that Rogue Ales is repackaging Hazelnut Nectar Brown Ale for an Independent Film Channel series called Portlandia.

…Per an email from Pelican Pub and Brewery, “On Friday, January 14 Pelican will release its Angler’s Amber Ale, which will be available on draft and in bottles at the Pelican as well as bottled at select locations in the Portland area. Angler’s Amber features a toasted malt profile, a floral yet spicy Sterling hop character and a clean, snappy finish. Fermented cool with prolonged cold storage in the lager brewing tradition, Angler’s Amber is flavorful, satisfying and refreshing.
