Breaker Brewing – Belsnickler Pre-Release

BreakerBelsnickler8 The guys at Breaker Brewing were nice enough to invite me down to the brewery for a pre-release tasting of their new Belsnickler Holiday Ale.  We sampled a glass or three and I’m excited to say the brew came out wonderful.  The nose is sweet with candied-sugar and the finish easily hides the 8.1% ABV.  I’m excited to report that the first BBC holiday ale is tasty and I can’t wait to sit one down and see how it tastes in the future.  Belsnickler will be available on tap at many of our BBC bars and also in bottles (release dates and locations coming soon)….so stay tuned for details.  Thanks to Mark & Chris for the pre-release sample and for Tom and Brandon (and Kirby) for the entertaining evening.  Sorry for the late night guys…

By the way I also had a chance to sample the latest Malty McGuire and I Love PA recipes, and you’re all in for a treat…so watch for release dates and don’t forget the guys will be pouring this weekend at the Splitrock Beer Festival so be sure to stop by and say hi.

Breaker Brewing Co – Split Rock Beer Festival

BreakerBrewingVanJust a quick reminder that the guys from breaker Brewing willbe pouring their beers at the Split Rock Beer Festival this Sat and Sun (11/21 & 11/22 12-4PM).  Be sure to stop in and sample their beverages and show your love for our local brewery.

Breaker Brewing Co – Some New Tap Handles

Mark & Chris not only brew the beer, but they also create the tap handles.  Thought you’d like a peek at the tap-handle-assembly-line.  Astute viewers will note the Belsnickler handle!  The guys also tell me they plan to pour their beers at the Split Rock Beer Festival this weekend.  See you guys Sunday!

Chip the Beer Guy Rock 107 – Breaker Brewing Co Pot Belly Pumpkin

BreakerBrewingC On today’s show we discussed the concept of beer & food pairing …matching interesting beers with foods that compliment them, or vice versa ;).  I’ll admit this is a concept I’ve just started to become interested in and other than Nachos, Pizza and cheesy-fries; I’ve done little experimentation.  The guys paired pasta and Vodka Sauce with a German Blonde Bock that Chip brought home in the patented (or yet to be patented) beer suitcase.  Now I’ll admit I wouldn’t have jumped in with a Italian sauce and German light Bock beer, but again what do I know.  For anyone interested there has been some discussion of a beer & food group locally…stay tuned for details.

So on to the show….It’s always nice to hear Mark & Chris on the air and today was no exception.  Today the show featured their Pot Belly Pumpkin Ale (available at Kelsey’s in Ashley).  I hope to be tasting this beer tonight actually at Elmer Sudds, but it sounded good.  The guys also discussed the reformulated I Love PA (another beer I hop to be trying this evening), the upcoming holiday Belsnickler Ale, and their work on the new 16-ton Imperial IPA to be released late winter/early spring.  Turns out there are two versions of the Belsnickler Belgian-ish ale, one darker than the other.  I’m not sure if they will each be bottled or if the guys intend to blend them before bottling.  Either way it sounds like we’re in for an interesting 8% ABV + holiday warmer and an exciting Imperial IPA in the spring.

Cheers Guys…..great show….and be sure to click on the photo.

Breaker Brewing Co – Belsnickler & News

Breakerbelsnickler-v3 From Chris @ Breaker Brewing:

Our Pumpkin has been selling well and is on tap at a variety of our bars.  Coopers Scranton an AuRants will both soon be serving BBC Beer. Speaking of the Potbelly Pumpkin Ale it will be available next week during Backyard Ale House Fest.

We submitted our label for Belsnickler Ale to the TTB for approval in 22oz bottles.

The latest version of I-Love-PA came out I think where we wanted it to be...Grotto @ the lake just purchases 3 kegs of that, finally changing out the Anthracite Ale the has been running all summer.

Also we have been getting some requests to brew the Malty Maguire again so I believe we will be doing that before years end....

…

And it sounds to me like the guys maybe looking for some more real-estate (i.e. a building!)
