A sad day for a 150 + year old stalwart brewery.

Molson Coors is announcing plans to close the Leinenkugel’s brewery in Chippewa Falls, ending a more than century-and-a-half tradition of brewing in northwestern Wisconsin.

Reviving a 126 year old Scottish yeast strain! An interesting combo of Brettanomyces and Debaryomyces. Obviously this historic Scottish Ale would have tasted much different than our current iterations of the style.

Long-forgotten yeast strains are being sought out from shipwrecks, abandoned breweries and other locations in the hope they could be put to good use if resurrected.

A few pics from the last brew, July 11 ! Rainy day gear was necessary! Per the Little Brewer's ( Sara Campbell's) request, we made a batch of Little Brewer's Helper, a hoppy amber ale. Local Pale Malt and Amber malts from Yarian Quality Malts Malts were ground on the new grinder,( thanks Cellar Works Brewing ) A good time with a few good friends drinking the Pilsner from the previous brew. ( Brendon RadcliffeRadcliffe, Bernard Bonnie, and Helmut)

27 gallons of Vienna Lager brewed today! Inspired by the tradition of Danish breweries to brew a special lager for Easter, typically a little heavier than their regular pilsner. The most renowned påske bryg is Tuborg's, see the pic below.

Thanks for the delicious pie, Pizzas By Marchelloni! Maybe we’ll call this batch the Pandemic Pale Ale.
