TAPLIST January & Night of Stronge Biere!!!

Before I get to what's bottlin and what's draftin in the brewery, a quick word on the upcoming Night of Stronge Biere on January 28th: AWESOMEFULNESS.  Nuff said?  Maybe not: Join us for Two Tun's midwinter celebration of strong beers, rich food, and red cheeks.  All ales over 8% ABV.  All food: artisan, local, organic, fair trade, equal opportunity, whole grain, multiracial, bilingual, bipartisan and probably pretty damned fattening.  All guests: drunk!  Tickets now, email TwoTunBrewery@gmail.com.

(Don't like bottles?  Put our draught lines to work! We're in JP for shits sake!)

CURRENT BREWS:

Four Stitch Porter 6.8%ABV (batch 74)
The 11th batch of 4SP, this is a robust vanilla porter that practically drinks itself.  A Two Tun favorite.

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) and reblended.  This will be killing it on draught and bottles at the
NoSB!

Belgian-style Sweet Rye Ale 5.9%AVB (batch 71)
A dessert-style ale, fermented with a Belgian farmhouse yeast notorious for quitting while the beer is still sweet.  Tell reisling to take a hike!

IN FERMENTATION:

Belle Jenn Ale 8.4%ABV (batch 75)
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.  Another contender at the NoSB.

UP NEXT IN THE KETTLE:

Hop Salad DOUBLE IPA 9%ABV (batch 76)
'Salad never lasts longer than a lamb shakes its ass, but this batch is Imperialized!  Normally 6.2%, the recipe has been boosted with extra malt and blasted with extra Cascade hops.  Fresh for the NoSB, guaranteed to please those of you who still have lips after TongueSpank!

More pictures?  I oblige...
     
A visit to see the folks in Fort Worth with a sister from San Fran makes this one happy brewmaster, but it's nice to be home where the Hop Salad and 4-Stitch roam.

I hate to say it, but I'd rather not spray it.  That's it for now, you know how to get in touch.  See you on the 28th!
