Beer news report: Oct. 3
Plenty of beer news in Oklahoma and around the beer world these days…
-Mustang Brewing this week rolled out its first offering in its Saddlebag Series — a 9% vanilla-infused imperial porter named Brandy’s Imperial Sundae. Starting next month — on Nov. 1 — Mustang is set to roll out bottles of its next beer: Route 66 American Lager. Route 66 is a reformulation of the old Mustang Winter Lager. Taking the old Winter Lager’s place will be a new brew — an English-style winter warmer brewed with smoked malt and black-strap molasses. Stay tuned for that.
-Have you ever longed for a stout infused with bull testicles? Of course you have. Well, your long wait is over. Wynkoop Brewing has created Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout. Each barrel worth of the dark stout contains roughly three bull testicles — also called Rocky Mountain oysters in those parts. Only a limited batch was made, and it will be available at the Great American Beer Festival next weekend.
