Bullfrog Brewery Returns To Bottles With Oud 15

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Sat, 15 Dec 2012 17:45:00 +0000

Here’s some exciting local beer news coming today from Bullfrog Brewery in Williamsport, PA. Today we have label approval for Oud 15--malt beverage brewed with cherries & age din oak. Oud 5 will be packaged in 750ml bottles and signals a return to bottling for Bullfrog Brewery so stay tuned. Oud 15 is a Flemish style sour ale initially brewed as a quad, then aged for 2 years in red wine barrels that previously held Terry Hawbaker’s beer “The Jaspers”. The beer is then blended and steeped with Montmorency sour cherries and bottle conditioned with Belgian candi sugars, This beer celebrates 15 ears of Brewing at Bullfrog so please join me in wishing them a happy anniversary and an exciting return to bottles.

New Beers from Bullfrog !

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 14:31:00 +0000

From Terry:

A few things for yer heads,

I have 2 beers coming on tap Friday (9/17), Flying Frog ESB (Extra Special Bitter- check yer shiny pamphlets for what an ESB is)and Crystal-ized American Wheat. Based on the success of the Citra-delic Summer Wheat I've decided to do a whole series of American Wheat beers featuring a single hop variety using the same base beer, this way you and our customers will really get a chance to taste the differences hop to hop. This one, you guessed it, is Crystal. Coming up on Sept.24th (Friday) I'll be releasing Hop-gasm Fresh Hop DIPA (double india pale ale), for this one I used the beer Deuane as a base then "wet Hopped" it with 60 pounds of fresh Citra hops (in technical terms that's a shitload). It's 9% abv and will be on CO2 instead of nitro (like deuane was).

And since people have been asking about an "Oktoberfest" beer I'm brewing Festivus, an amber ale that will be available around the first week of October(hopefully).

A couple other things I have planned for the very near future... KFc Pumpkin Stout (Kristen Fields Chocolate Pumpkin Stout, she gave me the idea and it will be served on nitro)... our "brewer for the day winner Doug Strouse's Raspberry Cream Stout... Pig Pig (a double bacon brown ale, yep bacon)... and don't forget about my collaboration with the Bavarian Barbarian, Gothika, a lightly smoked-black-double bock- lagered in freshly emptied Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels, 9.2%abv and it f**in' rocks!

Bullfrog Local Harvest Fresh Hop Ale 8/27

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 14:59:00 +0000

If this doesn’t get you driving to Bullfrog Brewery…nothing will…

From the Frog: Local Harvest Fresh Hop Ale coming on tap Friday. Made with our Sunrise Red as a base with 67 pounds of fresh, straight-from-the-vine, locally grown Cascade hops suspended in the serving tank for "wet hopping." This beer will evolve for the next week or so as it's served and the hops continue to give up their goodness.

Beer News from Bullfrog

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 14:02:00 +0000

I heard from Terry and he passed on a few exciting tidbits about upcoming beers at Bullfrog.

el Diablo, a Belgian-inspired golden ale aged on French oak chips will be tapping tomorrow (1/29). Terry is also going to bottle about 40 cases bottle-conditioned w/ 3 strains of Brettanomyces to be released in July or maybe August (it will be labled 'el Diablo Deluxe')
The Duchesse de Duryea fro the AuRants grand opening will be renamed 'the Jaspers' named after one of Terry’s favorite Frank Herbert novels, The Santaroga Barrier, and is still being released in May (first Friday).
Some other new drafts coming on in the next week or two... Black Light, a Belgian-inspired dark ale weighing in at 4.8% abv and Sunrise Red, a hoppy red ale weighing in at 4.6 - 4.8% abv
And one last tidbit and perhaps my favorite….and I quote, “

I know I've really been into session beers lately but don't worry there will be more mayhem inducing brews following... can you say 3yr old, barrel-aged, chocolate and coffee infused, fully buggered Imperial Stout... more on that one later. “

Thanks Terry….Count me in on the Imperial!

From Bullfrog:

Hi all,

Terry says 'Dread', our delicious double red will be back on tap this Wednesday. Lots of us have been filling the void while we waited for this to be back on tap again by drinking two pints of our Inspiration Red at the same time.

Doesn't mimic the taste too well, but the end result is the same.

New On Tap @ Bullfrog Brewery

noreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:54:00 +0000

From Terry:

New on tap @ the Bullfrog.....DOUBLE COFFEE STOUT. A burly stout with 12 pounds of freshly roasted, fair trade, organic Fonseca coffee (dark espresso roast) added directly to the serving tank and cold extracted for 2 days. The result....INSANITY, oh, and a rich dark ale with an oh so smooth coffee flavor and zing!
