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.”
