Trail Magic Ale™ Limited Bottle Release Event
On Saturday, March 10th, 2012 we will offer our first of three limited bottle release Trail Magic Ale ales exclusively at our Tap Room in Bryson City. The event will begin at noon with the tapping of the first keg of Trail Magic at 4 pm. A limited number of 750 ml bottles will be available for purchase beginning at 6 pm via a lottery system (see more details below).
ABOUT THE BREW: Our first Trail Magic Ale release is an Oak barrel aged Russian Imperial Stout brewed with some special ingredients native to the Great Smoky Mountains. The final ABV is yet to be determined however, we can tell you that it’s currently north of 10% and uniquely tasty.
As we get closer to the release date more details about this exciting ale will be made available.
PURCHASING BOTTLES: We’ve chosen to offer the Trail Magic series in corked 750 ml bottles. Beginning at noon guests will be given numbered tickets for an opportunity to purchase bottles at 6 pm. When your number is called you will have the option to purchase up to four bottles of Trail Magic. There is a limited number of bottles available and we encourage everyone to arrive early for a chance to purchase bottles.
PORTION OF PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT APP TRAIL: A portion of proceeds of the bottle sales will be donated to the Appalachian Trail Ridgerunner Program via the Friends of the Smokies organization.
ABOUT THE RIDGERUNNER PROGRAM: Each year the Park recruits a series of individuals who provide a presence on the Appalachian Trail from March through October. They provide visitor information, do trail maintenance, pack out litter, keep up composting privies, report on the condition of the trail and the shelters, report emergencies and advise hikers on food storage and other regulations, and relay real-time information regarding possible problem bears. Their presence on the AT for over 15 years has made a huge difference in the Park’s ability to manage the AT.
Check back often for more information about this event.

(O'Fallon, MO) - O'Fallon Brewing has a new beer. It is a Belgian Dark Strong Ale, and release is set for "a couple days" from now. That means one of the first couple days of February. They mention that it was brewed in 2010 and has spent a year in wine barrels, in addition to bottle conditioning the last 7 months. More details are below...
From the O'Fallon Brewing blog:
Long Time, New Beer.
There have been a lot of things going on around the brewery over the last few months. We’re working on a complete website overhaul, some exciting new Facebook contests, as well as some fun multimedia projects to enhance everyone’s online O’Fallon Brewery experience. In addition to all of this, we’re still cranking out delicious beer, as well as developing new brews for your enjoyment.
Speaking of new beers, our new Belgian Dark Strong will be in stores in just a couple of days. This beer was brewed in 2010 and spent the first year of its life in wine barrels. For the last 7 months or so, it’s been aging in the bottle, letting all of those delicious flavors mellow and marry together. What you get is a smooth, spicy/sweet brew with hints of caramel and raisin that work marvelously with the fruit and oak undertones. All of this, and it comes in at a hefty 10% ABV. There are only 3600 bottles of this out there, so make sure you get a couple for your private stash.
Our head brewer Brian Owens will be blogging here to give everyone a glimpse into his mind and daily routine as it relates to the art of brewing. Make sure you’re checking back here often, as well as our Facebook page. As I mentioned, we’ll be rolling out some contests to give you a chance to win awesome O’Fallon merchandise that will only be available to those that follow us on Facebook. So make sure to like us there if you haven’t already, and tell all of your friends too. Moving forward, this blog will be your source for up to date brewery news and happenings. We’re looking forward to a great 2012 and hope that you’re all as excited as we are.

(Victoria, BC) - Phillpis Brewing is releasing The Hammer Imperial Stout in a new bourbon barrel aged version. They are also releasing the "traditional" recipe at the same time. More details are below...
From the Phillips Brewing website:
Hammer Drops Again!
Attention beer-drinking Comrades: The Ministry of Beer Quaffability has decreed that the Hammer Imperial Stout will once again be smashing its way back into your local liquor store!
The Party is releasing two variants of the Hammer—the traditional recipe, full of bold roasted flavours and creamy textures, and a bourbon barrel-aged version, somewhat mellower and highlighted with smooth oak and lingering smoke flavours.
Citizens are recommended to grab their Hammer quickly before rations are exhausted. The Party also notes that should the unthinkable occur, this beer will cellar well in fall-out shelters.
Both varieties of the Hammer Imperial Stout are available at finer private liquor stores.
