Beer of the Week: Real Ale Roggenbier

On the WALCS second official visit to Real Ale Brewing in Blanco, we discovered this rare gym of a beer. So we decided to enjoy a couple more pints while playing washers with the brewer.

Roggenbier :(draught only)

Roggenbier (German for "rye beer") is a style not commonly found in the U.S. Real Ale Roggenbier is golden in color and similar in flavor to a hefeweizen. Traditional German hefeweizen yeast produces notes of banana, clove, and bubblegum. Forty percent malted rye imparts a hint of bitterness and a crisp, dry finish.

ABV: 4.9%, IBU: 10, OG(plato): 12.7

Beer of the Week: (512) IPA

Probably one of the most anticipated beers of WALCS is the new IPA by (512) Brewing.

(512) IPA
The (512) India Pale Ale is a big, aggressively dry hopped American IPA with smooth bitterness (~65 IBU) balanced by medium maltiness. 100% US malted grains, loads of hops, and great Austin water create an ale with apricot and vanilla aromatics that lure you in for more. (Approx. 6.5% ABV)

Beer of the Week: Manny's Pale Ale

For normal people

Darn tasty beer.

For beer lovers

Manny's Pale Ale: A careful selection of Northwest hops, premium barley, and our unique yeast give this ale a rich and complex malty middle with a snappy hop finish. It's truly a micro that finishes crisp, clean, and smooth.

For beer geeks

Two-row Pale, Crystal, and Cara-Pilsner Malt. Magnum and Cascade hops. IBU's: 37. Original gravity 1.052 (13 Plato). Finishing gravity 1.010 (2.5 Plato). English Ale yeast. Alcohol by Volume: 5.5%.

Beer of the Week: Labatt Wildcat Strong

Lager, 6.1% alc./vol.

Labatt Wildcat Strong uses North American aromatic hops unique to the Wildcat family and the finest quality Canadian malted barley. It has a fuller, slightly sweeter palate that retains the dominant hop flavor and aroma.

Sampled by the "Commander Guy" as recommended by the "Burly Lumberjack Guy". Pairs nicely with Garlic Moose Burgers.

don't try this at home...
