The Bruery Tap Takeover!

January 14, 2016 4:00PM - 10:00PM at BC's Pizza & Beer

We are bringing to you 17 beers from one of the finest Craft Breweries in America for your tasting pleasure, and ours. Yep, 17 offerings total from The Bruery! It's going to be one awesome and delicious night here at BC's!The offerings are:Cuivre 16.2% 100% Ale Aged In Bourbon Barrels.Cuivre is our seventh anniversary ale, loosely brewed in the English-style old ale tradition using our house Belgian yeast strain and then blended using the solera method. A portion of each of our anniversary ales is saved in our barrels and blended in with the next year’s production, providing more complexity and depth of character that comes with age. Layered with complex flavors of dark fruit,vanilla, oak, and burnt sugar, Cuivre is a robust ale, surely the perfect beer to mark this major milestone.So Happens It’s Tuesday 11.3% Imperial Stout Aged In Bourbon Barrels.Our infamous Black Tuesday® stout is named in honor of the great stock market crash of 1929. So Happens It’s Tuesday is similarly dark and delicious, but in a more affable format, reminding us that there is always a bit of good to be found within the bad. Things happen, life goes on. This beer can be enjoyed in all of those moments and seasons.Sucre 16.9% 100% Ale Aged In Bourbon Barrels.The traditional sixth anniversary gift is candy or sugar, so we’ve named our 6th anniversary ale “Sucré” which is “sugar” in French.Sucré is our sixth anniversary ale, loosely brewed in the English-style Old Ale tradition using our house Belgian yeast strain and then blended using the solera method. A portion of each of our anniversary ales is saved in our barrels and blended in with the next year’s production, providing more complexity and depth of character that comes with age. Layered with complex flavors of dark fruit,vanilla, oak, and burnt sugar, Sucré is a robust ale, surely the perfect beer to mark this major milestone. Multiple barrel aged variations of Sucré exist. Bourbon barrel, Rye barrel, Rum barrel, Tequila barrel, Port barrel, Madeira barrel, New American Oak barrel and New French Oak barrel. Only the bourbon barrel variety was produced using the Solera method8 Maids-A-Milking 11.5% Imperial Milk Stout.8 Maids-a-Milking is the 8th beer in our “12 Days of Christmas” series, and we’d be udderly crazy to release anything but a milk stout. So we made an imperial milk stout to stand up to whatever Old Man Winter throws our way from now through 2019 with the final release of our series. 8 Maids-a-Milking is brewed with lactose, which is commonly referred to as milk sugar. It’s the only type of sugar that is unfermentable by yeast, which adds more perceptible creaminess and sweetness to the finished beer. This mouthfeel and sweetness is complemented by robust layers of milk chocolate, subtle spice accents from our house Belgian yeast and roasty, cafe elements indicative of our take on the style. Celebrate the seasons with the best of both worlds: enjoy some now, and lay a few down for up to 4 years to be enjoyed upon the release of 12 Drummers Drumming.Gypsy Tart 8.4% Flemish-Style Brown Ale.Gypsy Tart is a Flanders-style brown ale with a California touch. A beer that can trace it's origins to Great Britain, but more famously perfected in western Belgium, has been updated through our own modern techniques, delivering the sweet body and mildly tart finish that has won over numerous generations of beer drinkers in Europe. Our rendition of this wonderful beer style is perfect for both sour beer amateurs and advocates alike.Tonnellerie Rue – 8.5% Barrel Fermented Saison Ale.Tonnellerie Rue is a special variation of our rye saison that has been 100% fermented in oak barrels. Using this more traditional storage technique during the fermentation process adds further complexity to an already complex beer by allowing the natural yeast and bacteria, still nestled within the porous oak from previous fermentations, to eat away at the wort’s sugars while it slowly evolves into delicious beer. The final product is dry and earthy with a slight sour tinge, light rye spice and earthy funk. Our Tonnellerie Series of beers are experiments with barrel fermentation. Look out for others!Autumn Maple 10.0% Belgian-Style Brown Ale Brewed with Yams, Mosasses, Maple Syrup and Spices.Brewed with 17 lbs. of yams per barrel (in other words, a lot of yams!), this autumn seasonal is a different take on the “pumpkin” beer style. Cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla, molasses, maple syrup, and fermentation with our traditional Belgian yeast strain, make this bold and spicy beer perfect for a cold autumn evening.We have also created bourbon barrel aged, 100% brettanomyces and soured versions of Autumn Maple.Smoking Wood 13.0% Smoked Imperial Rye Porter Aged In Bourbon Barrels.Brewed with a hefty amount of smoked malt, Smoking Wood is a delicious demonstration of what wood has to offer when it comes to beer, both in the malting process and the aging process. This imperial smoked porter is brewed with rye malt, contributing to a full body and light spiciness. Toasty oak, caramel and vanilla flavors balance the smokiness, contributing to an intense yet refined flavor profile.There are both rye barrel and bourbon barrel aged variations of this beer which are layered with a rounding richness from the spirit that once resided inside of the barrel.White Chocolate 14.0% Ale Aged In Bourbon Barrels with Cocao Nibs and Vanilla Beans.Essentially a summer barley-wine style ale, but made with a wheat heavy grain base. The primary component of White Chocolate is a beer that we affectionately refer to as “White Oak Sap” as it is 100% bourbon barrel aged and is the wheat wine component of our White Oak ale. After nearly a year in used bourbon barrels, the beer comes out rich in coconut, honey, caramel and vanilla. To compliment the already rich flavors of this beer, we’ve added cacao nibs and fresh vanilla beans to give this beer the delicate flavor of white chocolate…hence the name.Melange #3 15.5% Barrel-Aged Blended Ale Dark & Delicious.Mélange #3 is a blend of three bourbon barrel aged strong ales. White Oak Sap, a wheat wine, our Anniversary Series old ale and our imperial Stout, Black Tuesday, join forces in this luxurious strong ale that links some of the best characteristics of each of the contributing beers. Chocolate, dark fruits, oaky vanilla and rich toffee-like character reach through the bourbon veneer for an intensely satisfying quaff.Fourthmeal 6.9% Hoppy Belgian-Style Ale .The Bruery and Maine Beer Company got together and cooked up something special for you: fourthmeal. It isn’t brunch; it isn’t “linner.” It’s a hoppy Belgian-style ale that brings aspects of both breweries to the table: fruity, Belgian yeast esters, a crisp, bready backbone, citrus and piney hop characteristics, and a dry, hop-forward finish. There’s no one shouting “come n’ git it” when it’s time to dine - just mouth-watering, dry-hopped aromatics, signaling that it’s time for fourthmeal.Hottenroth Berliner Weisse 3.1% Berlin-Style Tart Wheat Ale.Hottenroth Berliner Weisse is brewed in memory of Fred & Sarah Hottenroth, Patrick’s grandparents. This tart, German-style Berliner Weisse is as authentic as it gets. We use lactobacillus and a hint of brettanomyces to sour this very unusual, low gravity wheat beer. To cut the tartness for those with sweeter tastes, raspberry or woodruff syrup is a traditional way to sweeten the beer. Almost an extinct style, we hope to help revive the Berliner Weisse in memory of two great people.Terreux Oude Tart 7.5% Flemish-Style Red Ale Aged In Oak Barrels.Oude Tart is a Flemish-Style Red Ale aged in red wine barrels for 18 months. It’s pleasantly sour with hints of leather, dark fruit and toasty oak. While this is one of the more classic beer styles that we make, it’s not a style that you can find too often in the United States. Originating in style from the Flanders region of Belgium, near the French boarder, this dark, sour ale has roots deep in brewing history and predates most of the ales that have become popular in contemporary culture. We’re doing our best to keep the tradition alive by brewing and aging this beer here on the west coast.Sour In The Rye 7.8% Sour Rye Ale Aged In Oak Barrels.We’ve all come to know and love our 40% rye malt, barrel aged sour ale, Sour in the Rye. Now it’s time to enjoy that very same beer, but with fresh kumquats added to the mix. This fruited sour reveals incredible notes of both bitterness from the citrus rind as well as an unmistakable tropical sweetness from macerating the entire fruit and adding it to barrels. We served a cask of this beer at a Reserve Society event in 2012 and it was overwhelmingly chosen as the best beer of the day, so we had to go ahead and make this larger batch for everyone to enjoy.Humulus Lager 7.2% Imperial Pale Lager.We promised we wouldn’t brew an IPA, and this is the closest we’ve come to breaking that promise.Humulus Lager is an extremely aromatic, hoppy beer, with citrus, pine, and intense herbal characteristics. We brew this beer with more than 3 pounds of hops per BBL, and it shows. We also use rice, a typically despised ingredient in beer, to lighten the body and make it more true to the American lager style.Tart Of Darkness 5.6% Sour Stout Aged In Oak Barrels.Tart of Darkness is a low-ish abv stout (a far cry from our Black Tuesday) that we aged in used oak barrels that previously housed beers such as Sucré or Black Tuesday. We then added our special blend of souring bacterias and wild yeasts. The result is a perfectly tart yet awesomely dark and roasty sour stout. Not a style you will see very often, and in our opinion, not a style seen often enough. This unique stout has notes of tart plums, roasted coffee, vanilla and oak.Reuze 5.9% Sour Blonde Ale Aged In Oak BarrelsRueuze is our take on the traditional Belgian-style blend of lambics of different ages. We carefully select a number of oak barrels from our warehouse that have been aging our sour blonde ale for anywhere from several months to several years and blend the beers together to what we find to be the ideal flavor. This is one complex beer. Notes of hay, barnyard funk, apricots and olives play wonderfully with the balanced acidity.
