Few New Beers Coming to Buffalo
October 2, 2008 8:42 am Beer News
Dave Johnson emailed me late last week and filled me in on a few new beers we’ll be seeing at Buffalo Brewing Company in the next couple of months. The first new ones we should be seeing are Oktoberfest Lager and a Belgian Pale Ale which Dave describes as “very tasty.”
Also in the mix is a DunkelRye. Dave was planning on brewing a Dunkel and there was a suggestion made of adding some Rye. Dave thought that was an awesome idea and the DunkelRye was born. That was brewed just this past Sunday, so it’ll be a little while until we see it. But that sounds pretty exciting.
If you have any idea for beer styles that you would like to see at Buffalo, feel free to leave them in the comments. One of the things Dave loves so much about Buffalo is that it affords him the chance to really have fun and brew different things that can break up the monotony of brewing the same thing day in and day out.

As long as I have first crack, how about a Vanilla Robust Porter? I have a recipe that’s won me a few awards.
It makes for a nice fall/winter beer.

Here is my favorite winter beer (not my recipe obviously, but I’ve made it) - it’s kind of like the old Pyramid Snow Cap. Nice hearty, robust borderline stout/porter, but with a burst of piny EKG.

100% Brett!!! Yeah right….
Havent been there, so I dont know the list. But a nice weizenbock sounds good to me. Dont recall any local weizenbocks, but odds are I’ve overlooked one yet never tried it.
Cheers!

I’m making a Vanilla Brown Ale that Sam Huff won the Bottoms Up Brewhouse comp. that the Garage brewers held. We were going to brew it Sunday but the grain wont be here in time. Also I might brew a Mind Block (miebock)with the yeast from the Octoberfest. Yes its Oct. and the OF isn’t on tap yet. It should be next week. BTW my O’Fallon coco creme stout is tasting PFG. Cant wait till its done.

BTW Paul my asst. brewer came up with the idea of the Dunkelrye.He said lets put some rye in it! This spring I homebrewed a hefe-rye and it was tasty, so I tweeked the recipe a little and made it a Dunkel. I will taste it tomorrow night and see how it is going.

I’m all for a Coffee Drool.
Of course an RIS, American Barleywine and DIPA (or is it DRIPA?) would all be awesome, as well.

How about some bourbon imperial coffee drool?
Pumpkin Porter?
An All Glacier IPA (Titanic Killer?), maybe think about throwing some odd adjuncts in there, maybe some malto to give it a different mouthfeel or some spices like star anise.
Dave, did you all find a pumpkin for tomorrow? I was in IL yesterday and saw a ginormous pumpkin, but didn’t have your number.

The Belgian Pale ale is on tap now. The Octoberfest is ready to go, just waiting for the keg of Hefe to blow.
