Leinenkugel’s To Release Russian Imperial Stout

From Miller’s Brew Blog comes this announcement of Leine’s new Russian Imperial Stout:

Big Eddy Russian Imperial Stout, the second in the Big Eddy series, hits select markets in Michigan and Wisconsin within the week. In Wisconsin it will be available on draft at select accounts and in 4-pack bottles in the off-premise. It will be available only in the off-premise in Michigan.

The “Big Eddy” moniker is derived from the name of the spring that feeds the Leinie brewery in Chippewa Falls, Wis. Beginning in late February, Leinenkugel’s tested its first big ale, Big Eddy Imperial IPA.

Brendan Noonan, brand manager for Leinenkugel’s, said the 140-year-old brewer (which is owned by Miller Brewing Company) says while the “big beer” area (think brews such as double IPAs, Russian imperial stouts and barley wines) is relatively small, it’s an area of growing interest among craft beer enthusiasts.

“Some people are looking for something a little more special,” he says. “We do feel this is a growing part of the market.”
