Coming to Alcatraz – Oatmeal Stout.
Coming to the Ram – Pie'd Piper Pumpkin Ale.
Anita at Great Fermentations over-ordered and still has 40 or so gallons of Early Blend Cider for your fermentation passion. It's a blend of Gala, Honey Crisp, Jonathon, Empire, and Jonagold apples and has a sweeter brightness than last year. She'll be ordering a Late Blend in a month so there's still time to do two batches this winter.
You needed to be at New Albanian's Bank Street Brewhouse's Sandkerwa NA anstich tapping right on time. (5pm). The Ahornberger Landbrauerei Strößner-Bräu's Ahornberger Landbier lasted 51 minutes. Zehendner Mönchsambacher Unfiltered Lager didn't make an hour either. and Zum Grunen Baum Landbier didn't last a half hour on Saturday. Roger is ecstatic. blog Next Thurs, Fri, Sat, more of the similar.

Liz Laughlin received a Silver medal at GABF for her Oatmeal Stout in Category 75. All of the Rock Bottom medals say Louisville, CO - the location of their corporate office.
Thanks much for the update. Had to be there to find that out.
From our look at this Stout back in July:
"Oatmeal Stout – Also freshly on tap. It starts full and creamy and finishes medium bitter with a light body and quick finish. 6.4%. It gives the best of a full-bodied stout and leaves you feeling like you just had a sip of Vienna Amber. Dan's calling it the best beer Liz has ever made and he might be right."
