The New Yeti is Spotted

Great Divide Oatmeal Yeti

Great Divide Brewing’s new addition to the Yeti lineup has arrived. The no so mythical beer is a new take of the imperial stout, with the addition of oatmeal and raisins to the brew. Great Divide says Oatmeal is a “gentle beast.” Look for it now in 22oz bombers, and draft.

Much like its legendary predecessors, this Yeti is big, bold and dark.  The addition of rolled oats softens Yeti’s notoriously roasty backbone and the small amount of raisins added in the brew kettle create a unique dark fruit character.  Just as admired as those that came before it, Oatmeal Yeti Imperial Stout is a gentle beast.

Style: Imperial Stout (w/ Oatmeal, Raisins)
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft. Seasonal release

9.5% ABV

Beer Street Journal Video: Red Brick Readies Barrel Aged Newbie

The end of July will see Red Brick Brewing’s (Atlanta, GA) biggest beer to date – 20th Anniversary Imperial Stout. The beer has been aging for 4 months in Buffalo Trace barrels. In an interesting twist, Red Brick brewed a second edition of the imperial stout – a double mash edition (even more potent) to blend with these barrels.

First tastes of these barrels tells us you have something boozy and exciting to look forward to. 20th Anniversary Imperial Stout will be available in Red Brick’s 8 state distribution footprint in August, 2013.
