Mantorville Brewing Company’s Stagecoach Ale Hits Stores

A nice story in the Rochester Post-Bulletin reports the struggles of little Mantorville Brewing to get off the ground. According to the article, six packs of their Stagecoach Ale should be in coolers at your favorite local liquor store. Let us know if you’re able to find a bottle.

He [Tod Fyten, a St. Paul brewer who bought the Mantorville Brewing Company in 2002] has big plans to get the beer distributed through the region and the Twin Cities before moving ahead with more beers from Mantorville. A golden ale and a smoked porter are both in the works. The golden is a lighter beer that will use honey malts from Canada, Fyten said.

Leinenkugel’s Northwoods Lager Is Back

From Leine’s:

If you’re thirsty for an update on the limited run Northwoods Lager, you’re in luck. Over the past several weeks, Master Brewer John Buhrow has been carefully watching over every step of the brewing process for the Northwoods limited release. The first batches are tucked away in our Chippewa Falls aging cellars, developing the smooth, roasted maltiness and perfect hop bite and aroma that Northwoods is famous for. In his expert opinion, John believes the brew will be ready for packaging on January 25. Which means you could expect to see Northwoods back on the shelf as soon as February 4. You’ll only find Northwoods in Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas, and only for a limited time. If any new information pours in, we’ll be sure to pass it along. So stay tuned.

MinnPost.com: Price for hops used to make beer is going up, and you know what that means

Thanks to MNBeer.com for posting a recent hops shortage story from MinnPost.com:

“Our beers range from very little hops to quite a bit, but I would postpone a beer style rather than change the basic recipe,” said Dustin Brau, CEO of Brau Brothers Brewing Company in Lucan, Minn. “In the near future you may see seasonals and short run beers that lean towards malty rather than hoppy, but at this point the hop shortage hasn’t affected actual production significantly.”

Our toasted caramel malt introduces a rich, robust taste to a remarkably smooth finish. We tender this finely crafted red lager for your continued enjoyment, as a tribute to your good taste.”
