The Mattingly Brewing Company may now be producing full scale productions of beer, but that doesn’t stop them from showing off some of extra special creations.

Tonight Head Brewer Drew Huerter will be offering up the first week of Hop School with two different dry-hopped versions of theExtra Pale Ale. Here’s Drew with a few words about these two hops:

Our newest round of Peeks will feature our Hop School Extra Pale Ale at 4.5% ABV and 35 IBUs our simple base Pale Ale recipe was designed to be a launching pad for aggressive dry hopping. For these three weeks we will feature two differently dry hopped kegs of HSXPA. Our first two variations are dry hopped with Brewers Gold and Glacier. Brewers Gold is commonly found in Belgian and English ales and possesses a spicy and black currant-like aroma while Glacier is a newer American hop known for its low cohumulone content and more delicate citrus aroma than mainstay American ‘C’ hops, look for orange and tangerine character.

The Mattingly Brewing Company may now be producing full scale productions of beer, but that doesn’t stop them from showing off what’s yet to come. Tonight, Head Brewer Drew Huerter and Assistant Brewer Jerid Saffell will be offering up a very special collaboration, the Jefferson Brown Ale.

Jerid gives us a description of the beer:

Friends of the St. Louis Craft beer scene and fellow brewers, one of our own is leaving us. Paul Stelmach, assistant brewer at Buffalo Brewing Company, is heading north to Minnesotta. He has apparantly lined up a new job at Surly Brewing so now we have someone we can bother until we get their beer down here. A few of you may know that I am taking over Pauls position at Buffalo and before he left we thought it would be great to do a bit of a collaboration beer for a peek a brew down at Mattingly.

Paul brought me his fantastic Rye American Brown Ale recipe. Spicy rye and a hint of toasty malt play on 4 different hops (Magnum, Goldings, Ahtanum, and for the dry hop Simcoe). This is a complex beer and pushes the boundries of the American Brown Ale style at 6.5% and 61 IBU’s. Come on out to Mattingly tonight and have a pint with Paul. Lets wish him a grand farewell as he moves on with his brewing career.

Be sure to head out tonight and taste some of Drew, Jerid and Paul’s excellent beer.

Jerid gives us a description of the beer:

Dark Days IPA is our initial offering in this developing black IPA style. Rich malt is in balance with 80 IBU’s worth of hop bitterness from Summit and Ahtanum hops. Dark and decadent. 8.5% ABV, served in snifters.

Be sure to head out tonight and taste some of Drew and Jerid’s excellent beer.
