Duclaw Mayhem, July 22nd
Duclaw Mayhem Weizenbock will be available starting July 22nd.
Mayhem Weizenbock is full bodied and muddy brown in color with a creamy beige head. Dominated by a rich, malty flavor, Mayhem creates chaos on the palate with an anarchic mix of clove and banana flavors from the German yeast used in fermentation, while wreaking havoc on the rest of the senses with an unruly 7.5% alcohol content all the way through to its tart finish. Rules were made to be broken – order up some disorder!
Duclaw Mayhem will be available in 12 ounce bottles and draft at all the brewery locations.
Style: Weizenbock
Hops: Hallertau, Tettenang
Malts: Munich, Wheat, Carawheat, Melanodin

Terrapin Side Project #22
Terrapin Beer Company (Athens, GA) is ready to ship Side Project #22, Moonray. The beer is a chocolate weizenbock, meant to resemble the chocolate oranges you get at Christmas.
To accomplish this flavor, the brewing team added orange peel and cocoa nibs.
Sometimes things get a little weird when there’s a full moon. Floating into Side Project spot 22 is Moonray Chocolate Orange Weizenbock. Our rendition of this traditional style is clearly a hoax with the addition of cocoa nibs and orange peel for a greater depth of flavor. With its big malt presence and hint of banana from the yeast, this beer may just make you howl at the moon.
Terrapin Moonray is a name nod to Sunray Wheat the brewery retired in 2011. The beer is available on draft and 22oz bombers this May. While you’re sipping #22, start thinking about Side Project #23 – Guano Loco.

Widmer Brothers Throws Back Original Three Recipes
Widmer Brothers Brewing (Portland, OR) is celebrating 30 years of craft brewing in an epic way, with 30 different beer releases. Some are throwbacks the brothers brewed over the past three decades. Others are special collaborations with local breweries.
Today, three more offerings are ready to go – Altbier, Weizenbier, & Hefeweizen.
Altbier – Released in 1984. First beer Kurt and Rob Widmer brewed when they opened the brewery. Named beer of the year in 1985. It still makes an appearance every so often. 5% ABV, 35 IBUs.
Weizenbier, 1985 – A filtered German-style wheat beer with an American hop profile. The brewery’s second release, leading they way for their third release in history. 4.9% ABV, 30 IBUs.
Hefeweizen – First brewed in 1986. Widmer’s third offering. 4.9% ABV, 30 IBUs
“Looking back at these three releases puts our early days and growth of Widmer Brothers Brewing since then in perspective,” said Rob Widmer. “Like many young entrepreneurs, we were flying by the seat of our pants, and it’s truly surreal to revisit that time in our lives when Altbier, Weizenbier, and Hefeweizen were our only three offerings. I suppose it’s an understatement to say we’ve come a long way.”
Each recipe is brewed from notes taken back in the 80’s. All three offerings will be released in the Portland market. More: Widmer Brothers 30 Beers for 30 Years
