ABOUT THE BREWERY:
Stillwater Artisanal is the nomadic ‘gypsy’ brewing venture headed by Baltimore native, Brian “Stillwater” Strumke. A former internationally renowned techno DJ and producer who rather quickly made his mark in the home-brewing community for his often odd concoctions and unconventional brewing methods. Competitions often yielded wins in the more esoteric categories and his intricate use of herbs, spices, wild yeasts, and anything else he could get his hands on often came to judges with both intrigue and enjoyment. In 2010, after about 5 years of backyard brewing, Brian has taken Stillwater Artisanal Ales to the public. Traveling the world to collaborate with various breweries hand-crafting small-batch, authentic ales. Learn more about the their story here, and follow them on Untappd.

ABOUT ALLERTON BREWING:
It all started as a hobby for Lucas in his college apartment at Iowa State University – little did Brenna (his now wife) know at the time, this hobby would grow into a full blown obsession. After graduating Iowa State, Lucas and Brenna moved to Oconomowoc, Wisconsin where Lucas attended Barley to Barrel – a program specifically catered to aspiring brewery owners. Lucas says his biggest takeaway was that he needed a partner. Shortly there after, the couple moved to Independence, Iowa where Lucas teamed up with Brandon Miken and Pete Gaumer to create Allerton Brewing Company. Today, the brewery is fully owned and operated by Pete and Lucas. Learn more about the their story here, and follow them on Untappd.

December Beer Club: Iowa

BeerClubLogovery-bad-elf-bow-bottle-imageRidgeway Brewing
Very Bad Elf
Amber Ale
South Stoke, Oxfordshire, England

This Very Bad Elf is one fine ale – rich, hardy, and flavorful. It is made based on an original 1795 Thames Valley recipe, with the very special pale amber malt – that is rarely used nowadays – creating nutty and sweet-roasted flavors. It is also balanced by a modest addition of English Fuggle aroma hops. Now sold out for 2023, we are lucky to share this with our Beer Club Members!

ABV: 7.5% alcohol / volume
IBU: 40
Style: Strong Amber Ale
Beer Style: Malty & Sweet
Size: 500ml

ABOUT RIDGEWAY BREWING:
Located in South Oxfordshire, Ridgeway Brewing was founded in 2002 by Peter Scholey, former head brewer at Brakspear and his wife, Vanda. The brewery takes its name from the ancient, long-distance footpath and trade route that passes just a few hundred yards from their front door in South Stoke. With their beers, they hope to create lasting experiences with “cutting edge tradition” – a match between heritage and modern tastes and technologies. Check them out on Untappd, or learn more about their company here.

ABOUT CLOWN SHOES BEER:
Founded in 2009, Clown Shoes was a result of a joke, some spite and a deep passion for craft beer. While they find clowns a bit questionable, everyone can agree their shoes are quite hilarious – a reminder of humility and to find humor in life. The team’s mission is to produce beer without pretension, while being free and a little crazy. Check them out on Untappd, or learn more about their company here.
