Beers in Progress

Our first batch of labels are pretty much done! We've still got a tiny bit of work to do to make sure they fit with Oklahoma's requirements, but they sure do look pretty. These labels were designed by my future sister-in-law, she'll hopefully be doing most of our design work going forward. here's a sneak preview of what our bottle's might look like

The Doctor's Reserve is going to likely be our first release, sometime in early fall. It's a decently hopped american strong ale with a whole bunch of rye in the mash to create a very distinct character. It'll be fermented with our house yeast strain to add just the right bit of funk.

In addition to that, here's a few others in the works you can look forward to.

Lazy Bully Lager: This'll be our only bottom fermented product. We'll be using an old school steem beer yeast and shooting for a fuller bodied beer with a bready and earthy character. Northern brewer hops and a heavy dose of Munich malt are what set this beer apart.

The Uncle Neal: This beer starts as american stout heavy on the roasted malts, with some nugget hops for a little kick. Fermented with a Belgian yeast strain, this unique brew represents the godfather himself. Thoughtful, but entirely inappropriate.

The Molly Rae: A Classic belgian wit, mainly brewed with unmalted wheat and oats. We'll be going through a traditional multi step mash for this one, and then adding the traditional coriander and orange peel into the kettle, along with a few other herbs and spices from the Doc's medicine cabinet.

Old Country Ale: Amarillo hops, a bit of crystal malt, and our house ale yeast put a unique spin on an old style taste. Sour mashed like a classic Kentucky Common, this is one for the real beer geeks among us.

Snake Oil IPA: A spicy, earthy, and bitter IPA in the British style of things, and again fermented with our house ale yeast.

They'll be out as soon as possible, keep an eye out.
