DC Brau’s The Stone of Arbroath Takes Aim at Spring

DC Brau (Washington, D.C.) is planning a limited release scotch ale. Expect this malty scot in the spring of 2013.

Stone of Arbroath has a rich, sweet malty aroma with mellow notes of plum and brown sugar. The mouthfeel has a “mineral-like” softness with highlights of deep caramelized malt derived from a 90 min boil which encourages caramelizing of dense wort sugars complemented by a subtle roast character that finishes with a mild acridity that pleasantly coats ones mouth. Coming in at a warming and subdued 8% ABV it will definitely ruffle many a kilt this spring.

Style: Scotch Ale
Availability: 22 oz bottles
Arrival: TBA

8% ABV

“For centuries the Drosten Stone has remained shrouded in mystery. Scholars can not agree on the ancient origin of the rock. The inscription “DROSTEN: IPEUORET [E]TTFOR CUS is just as much of an enigma as the stone itself. This beer, as well, is such a conundrum. Please don’t ponder it’s existence for centuries as you would assuredly go insane. Just be happy that it exists.”

Washington Caps Fans Boycotting Samuel Adams (Ya Gotta Love Hockey)

No Dunkin Donuts, no chowder, and definitely no Samuel Adams beer.  Those who don’t follow the NHL, it’s playoffs.  The Washington Capitals and Boston Bruins go in a critical, and (most likely violent) game 7 this evening to see who’s season ends.

In addition to various hockey superstitions (not washing jerseys, growing beards, etc) a popular Capitals fan blog BrooksLaichYear calls for the boycotting of Boston products.  Ovechkin fans, don’t dare pick up a Boston Lager today.  DC Brau? That’s legal.  (And tasty.) [BrooksLaichYear via WTOP]

DC Brau Penn Quarter Porter

DC Brau Penn Quarter Porter

DC Brau Penn Quarter Porter. The first bomber release by the Washington D.C. based brewery.

Penn Quarter Porter was our first in a line of draft and 22oz bomber limited-release beers, and it’s a robust porter! In the way that The Publicâ„¢ is on the line between a pale ale and an IPA, this is on the line between a porter and a stout – with chocolate notes and a dry, roasted finish.

Style: Porter
Availability: 22 oz bottles, Draft.

5.5% ABV  

Fun Fact: The beer is the area where you’ll find Ford’s Theater in the nations capital. As you’ll see on the label, Lincoln’s top hat and coat are still on display.
