Smuttynose Zinneke, a Bourbon Barrel Belgian

A Smuttynose Big Beer: Zinneke, a Belgian style stout aged in bourbon barrels.

Named in honor of the doggy denizens of Brussels, this hybrid beer is a mix of what we love best in a big, roast stout, but fermented with a Belgian yeast, which brings out a beautiful, fruity nose. We set aside a portion of the batch to age in bourbon barrels to allow the stout’s chocolate and caramel flavors to marry with the wood’s natural vanilla and toastiness. The final blend pairs well with both savory dishes and favorite desserts.

Style: Stout (Barrel Aged)
Availability: 22oz bombers
Arrival: TBA

Hoppin’ Frog Natasha Is European Collab #2

Hoppin' Frog Natasha Rocks America

The second beer in a series of collaboration brews by Hoppin’ Frog (Akron, OH) is Natasha Røcks America. Fred Karm (founder of Hoppin’) recently took a beer run through Europe and did a series of Euro collaborations. His first stop was De Molen, where they made USA Meets Europe S.I.P.A., a saison/IPA fusion. Stop #2 finds a collaboration with Fanø Bryghus (Fanø, Denmark).

NATASHA ROCKS AMERICA In a collaboration with Fano Brewery on Fano Island in Denmark, we created an Imperial Stout recipe to satisfy our own deepest desires. Brewing it on this picturesque summertime vacation island is how Natasha started, and of course we couldn’t wait to brew it at Hoppin’ Frog! The result is Natasha Rocks America – a rich, hoppy Imperial Stout with the deep-roasted, smooth flavor of Chocolate Rye malt. And, Natasha is generously dry-hopped with the perfect mix of select American hops, adding a great hop character to this super-tasty Imperial Stout collaboration brew. 

Style: Stout (w/ Rye)
Availability: 22 oz bombers
Arrival: TBA

7.5% ABV

Anderson Valley & Wild Turkey Team Up For Barrel Aged Series (PICS)

Anderson Valley Brewing (Boonville, CA) has entered into an exclusive partnership with Wild Turkey Bourbon. Together they will create a new series of bourbon barrel aged beers. After a few months of experimenting with the Wild Turkey barrels, Anderson Valley is ready go full steam into barrel aging.

“The opportunity to partner with the Bourbon Hall of Fame Russell family and Wild Turkey is tremendously exciting,” said Trey White, Anderson Valley owner and CEO.  “We have done some trial brews with a limited number of Wild Turkey barrelsover the past several months and the beers to date have been awesome.

The partnership is very beneficial, as Anderson Valley now has access to hundreds of barrels instead of a handful. That means more badass barrel aged beer for everyone. For the first round of bourbon aged offerings, Anderson Valley has aged Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout. Draft only offerings available first. Look for bottles in 2013.

Even Jimmy Russell of Wild Turkey is excited at prospect of drinking beer.

“I’ve been familiar with Anderson Valley Brewing for some time, and I’ve always admired the pride and care they take in crafting and brewing their beer,” said Jimmy Russell, Wild Turkey Master Distiller.  “It’s similar to the approach we take with our bourbon, which made this partnership such a natural fit. Now I finally have a good excuse to drink a great craft beer!”

Start looking for the first barrel aged beers in fall, 2012. Below are some pics from the folks of Anderson Valley and Wild Turkey doing their thing. [PressRelease]
