BREWERY NEWS


As the colder weather rolls into Adamstown and winter lurks around the corner, we are pleased to offer several new beers to help keep you a bit warmer and a bit merrier during the holidays.

Our brand new Winter Ale was officially released in November. For the next two winter seasons, we are brewing a hoppy red ale as our Winter seasonal. This ale has a deep, amber to reddish color and a medium to full body. The thick creamy head effervesces with pungent aromas derived from three varieties of domestically grown hops. This beer finishes on the dry side with a subtle citrus flavor. 6.2% alcohol by volume - 55 IBU's

We are also proud to offer a very limited-edition release of Robust Porter that we have been aging in oak whiskey barrels for the last 10 months. This beer is very dark brown and has rich flavors of malt with hints of chocolate. During the barrel aging process, the beer's flavors have become more subtle and blended with oak, vanilla, and bourbon flavors derived from the barrels. Full bodied, and full flavored, this beer will only be available in cork finished 750 ml bottles. 6% alcohol by volume - 45 IBU's

Finally, we are pleased to announce the release of 1860 IPA. This beer was created by Stoudt's for McGillin's Old Ale House in Philadelphia. This special brew was hand crafted by the brewers at Stoudt's to celebrate the 150th anniversary of McGillin's Old Ale House. This unfiltered ale is dry-hopped using multiple hop varieties, which offer a crisp hop flavor and aroma. A slight maltiness and medium body help to round off this quaffable ale. This is the perfect beer for celebrating 150 years, and toasting to another 150 to come. This beer is available in limited quantity on draft and in 12 oz. bottles at Stoudt's Brewing Co. It is also available at McGillin's Old Ale House in Center City Philadelphia. 5.5% alcohol by volume - 47 IBU's

That should just about cover it for December, but remember we are always brewing new and exciting beers in addition to our regular line-up so stop by the bar, or check our website, www.stoudtsbeer.com, for all the latest information on upcoming beers and events.
