Quarterly Thumbprint Speculation Thread

I am hoping cranbic, but I have no idea. Anything fruit or sour works for me.

 

Apple Ale is my guess.

 

Let's see how long this goes before anyone from WI chimes in.

 

First Michigan in!

Cranbic would be fantastic. One of my favorite Thumbprint beers. Apple Ale was good too, but Cranbic for the win.

 

ohhh the doldrums of BA when theres no upcoming events or releases. When is bourbon county barley getting released so we can correct this ship?

I'm rooting every quarter for old english porter but I fear I'll be drinking my homebrewed version of it for years to come.

 

Im hoping for a sour/fruit beer also. Its nice to drink them with family during the holidays.

 

Chocolate abbey? I would like a stout but probably won't be. Most people are thinking Apple Ale that I've heard from.

 

Apple Ale is most likely but I was at Woodman's yesterday and the shelf tag with their updated pricing says Cran Bic. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

 

I can't like this enough. It's pretty impressive you would even try to brew something that complex.

 

I thought somebody in a previous thead comfirmed apple ale was arriving for the holidays, as has been the case the last two (?) years.

 

last two years is correct.

 

brew two batches a year apart, traditionally sour mash one and let her chill for a year with a nice lacto pellicle then a year later regularly brew a traditional english porter. Wait a month or so and blend the two to taste, current ratio I was lovin was about 70 reg to 30 sour. There's a 50/50 I try to commercially brew this bad boy but I'm not quite sure how to release it knowing that its a blatant NG rip-off. But didn't picasso say all art is theft.

 

I'd be pretty surprised if it wasn't Apple Ale.

 

Sounds awesome. If your in NW Wisconsin I'd love to try some. I'll even the FIB comments at home.
