Monks House of Ale Repute in Sioux Falls, SD, had several Grand Teton beers on tap during American Craft Beer Week 2013. Among them was Oud Bruin, a Belgian-style sour ale. According to the beer’s Untappd page, Oud Bruin is no longer in production, making it even more desirable. I was happy to be able to try this beer for the 25th anniversary of Grand Teton Brewing Company.

Style: Belgian / Sour Ale
2013 marks the 25th anniversary of Grand Teton Brewing. In celebration, we’re bringing back three of our favorite styles for this year’s Cellar Reserves. Our Oud Bruin is firmly in the East Flanders tradition. We used American 2-Row barley and German melanoidin malt (for red color) as well as maize (to lighten the body). The worth was boiled in the kettle for four hours and hopped lightly with Idaho Galenas for balance.
We fermented with a Flemish blend of yeast and bacteria cultures, including lactobacillus, pediococcus, and brettanomyces. it took six months at cellar temperature for the culture to achieve the style’s characteristics quenching sourness. Finally, we bottle-conditioned the beer according to the “methode champenoise,” so it can be laid down, to be brought out when it can be truly enjoyed.

For the first time since 1973, MillerCoors has totally revamped the classic longneck. The torso of the bottle, so to speak, has been elongated, and the neck is slightly shorter. Miller design folks say that’s to make it easier to drink. It looks a little more streamlined—and loses the swirled neck that was added a few years back—but holds onto key elements like brown glass.
Welcome to the Off Sale Podcast; a weekly beer review by the staff at Fused Interactive. This week, Brian found another Trappist Ale for us to try. If you have listened to any past episodes, you’ve no doubt heard our ongoing banter of the Gulden Draak, Brian’s all-time favorite beer. The Chimay Red is similar to that style and we are excited to try it. Cheers!

Located in the beautiful Union Park at the foot of McGovern Hill, Fred Heim’s aptly named Union Brewery brewed beer and seasonal beverages for the Deadwood community. Heim’s gardens, arguably, out-did his spirits. The Union Brewery gardens were chosen as the location for the 1878 July 4th celebration, and were hailed by newspapers as the finest in the territory. Mr. Heim also owned and operated the Union Brewery Saloon, on the corner of Lee and Main Streets, which opened in October 1876.
