TAPLIST December

Per savvy reader request (cheers E!), the first in a regular post format: current beers (while they last).



CURRENT BREWS

TongueSpank IPA 7.1%ABV(batch 72)
A brand new, superhopped IPA, loaded to the gills with citra and cascade for a seriously piney, floral, grapefruit flavor.  Nice and pale, not killer bitter.

Rye Guy Ale 6.5%ABV (batch 71)
A smooth table ale brewed with 33% malted rye for a smooth, round flavor.  Nicely cloudy from the rye and American yeast.

Belgian-style Sweet Rye Ale 5.9%AVB (batch 71)
A sweet, dessert-style ale, fermented with a Belgian farmhouse yeast notorious for quitting while the beer is still sweet.  This is a fun beer to blend into others on tap, too.

Belle Jenn Ale 8.4%ABV (batch 70)
A ruby red, well-hopped Belgian-style strong ale.  A richly balanced love triangle of  caramel malts, grassy hops and pungent Belgian yeast.  Dry, with a sweet, smooth finish.

BIG ED Imperial Stout 9.2%ABV (batch 69)
A thick, rich, black ale.  Brewed with pound upon pound of chocolate, coffee and caramel malts, and generously kettle-hopped.  Fermented with a clean British yeast, split in two batches and aged for a few months (half with well-toasted white oak).  Re-blended, and ready for the winter holidays.  Phew!

IN FERMENTATION

Hop Salad IPA 6.2%ABV (batch 73)
A favorite since its introduction in January last year, this is the 6th batch, each brewed with pounds of hops, and a handful of caramel malt for a smooth balance.  Ready in a week, get it while it lasts!

UP NEXT IN THE KETTLE

Four Stitch Porter 6.8%ABV
The 11th batch of 4SP, this is a robust vanilla porter that practically drinks itself.  Another Two Tun favorite.

Get your lips on it!  TwoTunBrewery@gmail.com.  Cheers!
