Brau Brothers December update
Dustin Brau, eldest of the Brau Brothers three, sent an email this week detailing the upcoming releases for Brau beer. Below are some of the highlights.
- Brau Bros will be featured on KSTP’s 10pm news this Sunday night. Jason Davis, from “On the Road with Jason Davis” was in Lucan doing a segment about the brewery and the town. It should be re-aired Monday during the 11-12 noon news, and Tuesday during Twin Cities Live.
- Rainwater Oak-Aged Stout is still in the works. They are very impatiently awaiting final label approval from the TTB. When they get word, they’ll ship. Dustin is hoping it happens within a week’s time.
- Elisha’s Olde Ale was brewed on Dec 5, and it is progressing nicely. Done as a group brew, with help from South Dakota’s very knowledgeable home brewers and some Minnesota volunteers as well, they’re anxiously waiting for this one. It’ll get a few weeks on oak and possibly get a late-winter release. Dustin hypothesizes most of this will go to South Dakota, as Elisha, the homebrewer who won the contest, is a SoDak resident.
- The Braus shipped their first kegs of Cream Stout Nitro. This is something new for the holidays, and it layers perfectly on Sheephead. They call it a Black Sheep. Dustin tells us to ask for it wherever you see a cool looking stout faucet.
- Finally, if you’re in the area or passing through on the way to Grandmother’s house over the holidays, stop in and visit the Brau Brothers! Call or shoot him an email to set up a tour. City folk are always welcome and as always, plenty of free parking!
