Went out to eat dinner tonight and had me a Spotted Cow. I couldnt place they style of it so I figured whenI gothome I'd look it up (farmhouse ale wasntmuch of a help, I'm guessing like a cream ale or someting /shrug)
So I was looking at some of their other beers and came across this . . .
OK now when I make a 5 gallon batch I get about 54 bottles give or take . . . are they trying to tell me they are using 54ish lbs of cherrys per 5 gallons?
I though MAYBE it was a typoe so I clicked the link (in the quote above) and saw this . . .
I gotta me missing something

Wisconsin Belgian Red
You hold the marriage of wine and beer. Belgian Red is a tapestry of flavor. This beer is brewed with whole Montmorency Cherries, Wisconsin farmed wheat and Belgian roasted barleys, lagered in oak tanks and balanced by Hallertau hops we aged in our brewery one full year.
Over a pound of Door County Cherries in every bottle makes this beer uniquely Wisconsin. So unique, in fact, that we applied for a patent. Expect this beer to be ruby red, with a medium body that is highly carbonated and intense with cherry flavor and bouquet. Serve your friends Belgian Red in a brandy snifter or champagne flute and toast life with beer from the land of Wisconsin.

Um . . . .a pound per bottle? OK even a 750ML bottle makes me kinda think twice butredid the math and came up with about 2.5 12oz bottles per 750ml thats still almost half a pound per 12 oz bottle so were down to 27lbs per 5 gallons?
