Rainwater Stout to weight in at 10%
Dustin Brau, CEO and brewer at Lucan, Minnesota’s, Brau Brothers Brewing Company says in an e-mail that their new Rainwater Stout should be ready for release in early December.
Here’s what he has to say about the beer:
“Definitely one of our bigger beers. Clocks in at just under 10% ABV. Brewed late this summer, this ale spent months on Madeira Oak for added complexity. Something a bit new for us, it will be bottled in 750mL bottles.”
Brau adds that on December 5th, there will be a group-brew at the brewery to make the winner of the Brau Brothers’ homebrewing contest.
“We’ll be brewing Elisha’s Old Ale,” Dustin Brau writes. “For those not in the know, a terrific homebrewer (Sioux Falls’ Elisha Page) submitted this beer for the South Dakota Homebrewers Challenge and it was a unanimous winner. We’ll brew and age a single batch which will go on tap at all the participating bars and restaurants in South Dakota. Just guessing it will be ready to be tapped later this winter. Everyone is welcome to help brew, however please email me an rsvp so I have a rough idea of turnout. We’ll supply lunch and maybe we’ll have a beer, who knows.”
