News from Shiner TX Spoetzl brewery
(Shiner, TX) – Know Czech? We are going to need it. Spoetzl Breweryhas launched an all-Czech promotional campaign for the new Shiner 101including a brand-new dedicated website for the beer.
Spoetzl first revealed Shiner 101 to us through a hint at the very end of the Shiner 100 Bottle Rocket Salute video. A few weeks later, a rep from Spec’s mentioned that the beer would be shipped in mid-late January. Soon after, some blogs leaked the label you see above. Will the beer actually come out this month? Hard to say but the new Shiner101.comseems to hint that the release date will be closer to February 1st. At least that is when we will start to see things in English, according to the website.
Shiner101.com features three videos so far, all in Czech. The word, “Pilsner,” has also been crossed out on the bottle on the site as if that is still a surprise though that fact has been out there for a while as I mentioned above.
What IS in English is the label which reads, “Simple things aren’t necessarily easy. In fact, when it comes to brewing, it’s tough to brew great beer with just a few ingredients. But fear not, at the little brewery in Shiner we know a thing or two about refining even the most challenging of old-world recipes. This Czech-style Pilsner is brewed with barley, hops, water, yeast and 101 years of brewing experience. Here’s to sticking to your roots and keeping things simple, P R O S I T!”
The beer uses Bohemian Hanna barley and Czech Saaz Hops. 4.6% ABV and 22 IBU. It will be available in 6-packs and on draft.
Spring House Brewing Kerplunk is here
News From Spring House Brewing Co. - Kerplunk |
Spring House Brewing would like to announce the release of....
Kerplunk! Imperial Chocolate Stout Named for the delicious sound made as large amounts of Wilbur chocolate and west coast hops are added directly into the simmering brew kettle. This hefty black imperial-style stout boasts a rich caramel sweetness lavished by a robust, deep-roasted heartiness you can sink your two front teeth into. The bold flavors found in Kerplunk! are produced using a generous blend of roasted barley, crystal malts and locally produced chocolate. The resulting brew exhibits a deliciously complex and unique profile of subtle mocha coffee and intense chocolate, balanced nicely by the underlying roasted hop bitterness.

NEWS On LBC BrewMASTER
January 03, 2010 - Bill Moore Named Brewmaster at Lancaster Brewing Company [UPDATED]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE (4 Jan 10): Former brewmaster Christian Heim and sales manager John Frantz are no longer with Lancaster Brewing Co. . The changes were announced to Moore and the staff last Wednesday and apparently reflect a whole new management team for the brewery.
ORIGINAL STORY: Industry veteran Bill Moore has been named Brewmaster at Lancaster Brewing Co. and will oversee all brewing operations, the company announced on Dec. 31.
"I am proud to be leading brewery operations," Moore was quoted in the news release. "Brewing exceptional craft beers is what I live for, and being able to do it here is really something special."
Moore has worked in the craft brewing industry for over 20 years, starting at Stoudt's Brewing in the late 1980s. The brewery garnered 14 GABF medals, seven of them Golds, during his tenure. He left Stoudt's in 1994 to a partner, with Bob Connor, in the new Independence Brewery in Philadelphia.Independence's big, beautiful plant proved to be too large for the company to support and a series of bad decisions and acquisitions doomed the enterprise from the start. The doors shut in 2000.
After an interim stint at Sly Fox Brewhouse & Eatery, he began brewing at the brewpub at the historic Sunnybrook Ballroom in his home town of Pottstown. He went fulltime at the latter in 2001. When that business collapsed, he brewed for the management team which ran the operation for the bank and then for Henry Ortlieb, who bought the place in 2003 and created Ortlieb's Brewery & Grille. That constantly struggling business shut down for good after Ortlieb's death in a boating accident in the summer of 2004. Moore began contract brewing beers for the new Legacy Brewing Company in Reading at Ortlieb's during that final year. He signed on as brewer at Lancaster in 2005.
Also joining the LBC team as Marketing Director is Patrick Casey, who brings over 25 years of advertising, sales and management experience to the LBC family. "I look forward to growing sales and building the brands for the brewery. They have an impressive line of craft beers and a strong number of loyal fans including myself," said Patrick.
Irene Keares, President of the company stated her objectives for the brewery’s future growth in the release. "My mission is as much about creating the best team as it is about brewing the best beer and that is why I am honored to have Bill and Patrick on the LBC team. Both are key to the brewery’s future success and our ability to grow to the next level."
LBC currently produces four flagship beers year round (Hop Hog IPA, Milk Stout, Strawberry Wheat, Amish Four Grain Pale Ale), along with popular seasonal beers including Oktoberfest, Winter Warmer and Rare Rooster Rye Ale, all available in bottles and kegs. The brewery also produces twenty different styles of craft beer throughout the year in kegs only. --JACK CURTIN .
