Press Release:

(Ashland, VA) – Center of the Universe Brewing Company is elated to announce the release date for the much anticipated “White Russian Stout”: El Duderino. El Duderino will be released Friday, November 1st. This will be COTU’s first stout, and is the kick-off beer to their new quarterly seasonal schedule.

El Duderino is inspired by slackers, sweaters, eccentric friends and exotic drinks (the White Russian to be exact). This decadent chocolate milk stout has been a year in the making and has been piloted and tested at the brewery countless times to ensure its quality. The final masterpiece pours midnight black and is capped with a tan pillowy head. Eight different malts and whole vanilla beans create flavors of chocolate and espresso, offering a perfect way to mellow out after a rough set on the lanes.

This November, COTU invites you to open your senses and your mind to a new idea of what a stout should taste like.

“We knew we wanted to do a milk stout for the cold weather season. El Duderino really ties our line-up together.” – Chris Ray

El Duderino will be released November 1st and will be available in the tasting room, at select accounts in Ashland and Richmond, as well as in 750ML ceramic printed bottles.

Center of the Universe Brewing Company opened its doors in Ashland, VA on November 16th 2012. Brothers Phil and Chris Ray, who started as homebrewers, turned their hobby into an obsession that is now a successful brewery in Virginia.
