We just tapped a fresh batch of Coup D'Etat our french-style saison. It was our first beer in the Repo Man soundtrack series of brews and now it's back again, because who doesn't like a nice dry saison in summer? Also on tap is numero cuatro, Hombre Secreto, an American Pale Ale with a secret identity. It was hopped exclusively with Ahtanum hops, which are one of the more mellow American hops without too much citrus or pine flavor. Hombre is a double agent of sorts as our 'replicale' beer brewed for the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild. Each year, every brewery that wants to brews pretty much the same beer with a twist. This year we all used a different hop, and if you want to try them all then head over to next weekend's Oak Park Microbrew Review, which is quickly becoming one of the better beerfests in Chicagoland as well one of the greenest.
This weekend the brew crew is headed to Madison Wisconsin for the Great Taste to debut the Sodom, which we'll tap on Wednesday the 18th at 6pm. I wish there was tons of the Sodom to sell, but after putting some away in bourbon barrels and filling a few kegs for the Three Floyds pub, there's not a lot left so come and get it while you can.
