FYI - this is the 'new' brewery from Kris England over in Roseville. //Mike -----Original Message----- From: pubstitutes(a)pourdecisionsbrewery.com [mailto:pubstitutes@pourdecisionsbrewery.com] Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2012 12:17 AM To: undisclosed-recipients: Subject: PDBC December goodness Chellooooo Pubstitutes! A little bit of info for you fine people about the use of this list. Firstly, it is our intention to not overload your inbox with every little thing going on at PDBC. We prefer to keep these emails about larger updates and such. Secondly, If you want more constant info of the day to day goings on at PDBC, where you can make Pour Decisions and what's going on in Kristen's head for our next brews (be careful, you've been warned!), follow us on Twitter (@PDBCbeer), like us on Facebook and check out our website for all the latest and greatest. HOURS! We?ve most of the kinks worked out of the taproom and its going pretty smoothly! Lots of new faces are coming in daily and we?ve been lucky to meet a lot of you guys. Our taproom will be open for growler sales every Friday and Saturday in December. In addition to growlers of Pubstitute and Patersbier, we will have some limited release offerings available this month. Regular and special hours are always listed at the bottom of our front webpage. www.pourdecisionsbrewery.com A few key dates now? Saturday December 1st, 100 - 750ml bottles of a special batch of our Berliner Weisse Acerbity will be available. Kristen is sort of a sour bug mad scientist (mad at least) and likes to play around and 'develop' new strains. He's been working on a newer one that we feel is ready to make an appearance. Its name is Kofi. Why Kofi? Well this strain of Brett is quite estery (pomme fruit) but has a lot more terpenes than most. Terpenes are the chemicals produced by yeast, fruit, hops that give Gewurztraminer its 'reek', tropical fruit the big squishy sweet aroma and, most importantly for us, pineapple its pineappleyness...that's a word, look it up. Where were we...hhmmm, ah, yes, why Kofi? For Kofi Annan of course! A great person. A hero of ours...and a local alumnist! More to the point, in Hungarian, Ananasz means pineapple. Kristen?s 5 yo daughter, Szofia, always calls Kofi, Kofi Ananasz. Kofi Pineapple...sounds much better than Kofi Isoprenoid. What?s this got to do with anything you ask? We'll, we've got 100 bottles of these babies to release come this Saturday. Limit of two. Saturday, Dec 1st. Noon. Just FYI - there is 2 bottle limit per person. If these go over anything like the first offering or Acerbity, they will be gone very quickly Saturday. Saturday, December 8th we will have 750ml bottles of our Maroon & Bold available. The Maroon & Bold is our Imperial IPA (Infuriatingly Passive Aggressive) made from 100% Minnesota ingredients. This baby is pretty limited and will be available on tap at only few watering holes around town so you?re more likely to get it at the brewery. We?ve a small keg of it and will be giving out little pre-view samples at the brewery so swing on by! Finally, a little bit more from Kristen about this big, bitter bugger! Featuring 100% Minnesota-grown hops and 100% Minnesota-malted barley, this Infuriatingly Passive-Aggressively hopped ale will provide your taste buds plenty of Minnesota nice, while packing a punch stronger than the Halloween Blizzard. A mélange of CTZ, Centennial, Chinook and Nugget hops lend a juicy citrus, pungent resin and dankness to our Maroon & Bold IPA. Perfect for locavores at the lake -- where the hops are strong, the pours are good-looking and every bottle is well above average. Cheers!
