In The Tank, Out The Tank (Vol. 3)

Turns out I was three for three on my predictions. We did, indeed, brew Good Tidings Belgian Christmas Ale, Chocolate Town Cream Stout, and Collapsium Barleywine. They will almost certainly be released in that order, beginning with Good Tidings on the first Wednesday in December. Barley Storm, our Winter Warmer, continues to rest patiently in the fermenter. It’s a big beer, in need of some extra tank time to mellow. Early samples indicate that the bottled version will age well, so we’ll definitely lay down a few cases. Barring any …

Spoonwood Brewing to Collaborate with Caliente on BIG Imperial Stout

Spoonwood and Caliente to Join Forces A collaboration beer is a special brew designed and constructed by two or more entities that allows the talents of all those involved to shine.

HONEYDRIPPER

Honeydripper at Spoonwood Brewing Co

Saison   ABV 7.1%   34 IBU Fermentables: 2-Row Pale, Wheat, Aromatic, Honey Malt, Honey Hops: Santiam, Ultra, Mosaic Honeydripper is made with the same yeast as Freemang IPA.

And the honey (from Bedillion’s Farm in Hickory, PA) plays well with the amped up maltiness. However, the key difference is the hops selection. Freemang …
