(Flossmoor, IL) – Here is the latest via last Friday’s Flossmoor Station Brewery newsletter…

The HopfenWeizen, which is a Hefeweizens but hopped like an IPA, including a healthy dry hopping. We used a nice, equal blend of Galena, Casacade and Palisade for each addition.

Next is a collaboration we did with City Provisions which is a Dunkel Weiss that we added 100 lbs of fresh Michigan Cherries to the mash. Cleetus, the head chef/proprietor of City Provisions dubbed it the Kirsch and Blucher DunkelWeiss, (Kirsch meaning German for Charity, and Blucher….well, just watch Young Frankenstein).

Our our most recent tapping is the Intercontinental Pale Lager, it is an IPA style, but with a lager yeast and a blend of hops, predominately from continental Europe, with American hops.

Coming up in the near future is some fun projects. Last week we brewed the Jar of Heads Scottish Ale, that will be put entirely into bourbon barrels and stowed away for the duration of this beer siege our patrons are exercizing! We’ll have a bottle release of it on the onset of spring next year, and it’ll hopefully route us through a more spring like spring next spring (did i mention I’m not looking forward to winter?)

Coming along this fall we’re looking at putting forth an Imperial Schwartzbier for the zombie ghoul day of halloween. Also in line is a nice Vienna Lager for Oktober Fest, possibly a Pumpkin Ale, a Double IPA and maybe even a Harvest Fest to try and cling onto the lovely fall weather before old man winter settles in.
