According to Dan's interview on a recent podcast, 1/3 sour blonde base fermented with 2/3 apple juice. CdB was the same but with 2/3 chardonnay grape juice.

Wow, ratio of beer seems much lower than I expected.

Can't wait to apple and Stube.

A little overcast, but otherwise a nice day to be a New Glarus. Release was very laid back. Scanning IDs is nice.

New NG Thumbprint for Nov:

http://newglarusbrewing.com/index.cfm/beers/OurBeers/Beer/spotted-cow-grand-cru

A few times a year we cut Dan loose to brew whatever he chooses. Always handcrafted, the bottle you hold is brewed for the adventurous soul. This is a very limited edition and we make no promises to ever brew this style again.

This boss Cow rules with 8.5% ABV and an Original Gravity of 18 degrees Plato. Fine Wisconsin and Czech malts step out with hand chosen Willamette and Yakima Valley hops joined up with French and German varieties. Fresh coriander and sweet orange peel kick up Dan’s special Farmhouse Ale. Bottle fermented and hazy as an early meadow morning, expect Spotted Cow Grand Cru to be an assertively quaffable Imperial edition of Wisconsin’s favorite local brew.

"And coming in December are bombers of an aged barleywine with the tentative name Vintage Y2K. Mollica did us the favor of aging this beer, a style that fares particularly well in the cellar, for two years, a duration I've found to be a barleywine's sweet spot. Much of the batch from which Vintage Y2K was born was bottled as Kosmyk Charlie's Y2K Catastrophe Ale in 2014, Mollica said, but this portion was held back and aged in steel tanks (rather than the wood barrels responsible for Bourbon Barrel Barleywine)."


much excite

i've still got some Y2K with the green sticker on it. wonder how that's doing.

I assume it hit Madison last week and will be arriving in MKE starting today. Although some of the bigger MKE stores prolly got it on Friday...

Big news coming soon after a marathon day with @DickLeinie.

Collab or Omar is selling out to AB/INBEV?

doesn't Miller own Leinie's?

or is AB/INBEV/Miller now a thing?

I was thinking he talked to Dick to find out how to keep the SURLY name after selling out - just as Leinenkugel's was able to keep their's. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not in the us. Miller Coors has to stay separate.
