We’re
at it again in the good ol’ Mudville9 Saloon. This week, Wednesday night, we’ll
be joined by the boys from Troegs Brothers out of Hershey, PA (you know, the sweetest place on Earth). We’re excited to
be one of few venues in the city, (hell, the country!) to have their Scratch
Series of brews on tap for tasting. Usually this sort of thing is reserved for on-premise brew house events only. We feel special...you should too. This kicks off at 6 PM.
NERD WORDS:
Straight
from the horse’s mouth:
“The
Scratch Beer series has developed into an experimental beer series where we can
tinker with new techniques and brew with non-traditional ingredients. Each
batch is extremely small…”
I know, I know. You're wondering...
"Beau, so which out of their long list of concoctions from 2011 will be on handle Wednesday night?"
SCRATCH #50-2011: Belgian Style Brown Ale (Beer Advocate reviews)
ABV: 7.0%
Codename: Belgian Style Brown Ale
&
SCRATCH #52-2011: T2 ALE (Beer Advocate reviews)
ABV: 6.9%
IBUs: 70-ish
Codename: T2 Ale
Bonus: This is one of the first in the newly designed brewhouse so there's a little more excitement around this one. Here's more info on the adventure.
Scratch #52 – T2 Ale – is the beginning of a great adventure and a
grand experiment. The first brew through the new brewhouse was designed
to research yield and extraction rates, test our new boiler system and
dial in the hop dosing system and hopback.
The results? Our fermentable extraction rate was higher than expected
meaning T2 Ale is a bit higher in alcohol than planned The hop dosing
system and new boiling system were equally efficient creating an
intense, lingering bitterness stronger than expected.
Scratch #52 will be served two ways – filtered and unfiltered – so
try them both. It was 100% naturally carbonated and we are excited to
share this first brew with our customers.
You heard it here first. See you then, friends.
Cheers!
