    The 2014 all star parade of great Wisconsin big IPA's continues. Black Husky Sparkly Eyes ready for release

    Pembine, WI - Black Husky Brewing, Pembine, WI, announced that they will be releasing Sparkly Eyes Imperial Spruce. “This is a beer that tends to be on the fringes of beer styles,” said Tim Eichinger, co-owner and Brewer at Black Husky Brewing. “It is an imperialized version of Sproose, our double IPA brewed with spruce that we harvest from the woods up north. And by “imperialized” I mean that we take an already obnoxious beer, Sproose, and make it with more of everything: more hops, more spruce, more malt,” Tim explained.
    “This is one of the beers in our Beware of the Dog series,” added Toni Eichinger, co-owner of Black Husky Brewing. Black Husky’s Beware of the Dog series beers are limited release beers that are not designed for consumption by the faint of heart. They are all big beers but Sparkly Eyes is especially strong. Toni explained, “When we were developing Sparkly Eyes I had final say on all the pilot batches Tim was brewing because Lothar, the dog whose photo is on Sproose and Sparkly Eyes, and I have a special bond. So Tim would brew a batch and I would say it wasn’t quite there yet. An exasperating process, at one point I quoted Christopher Walken in the famous Saturday Night Live “More Cowbell” skit with Will Ferrell. “…More Cowbell, I gotta have More Cowbell! Tim says I was yelling it at him; I think I was just making the point.”
    Sparkly Eyes will be released at the end of July, available in both 22 ounce bottles and on tap. Look for Black Husky Brewing and Sparkly Eyes at the Great Taste of the Midwest in Madison on Saturday, August 9. http://greattaste.org/
    Black Husky Brewing is a nano-brewery operating in Pembine, WI since 2010, with two human employees and many canine collaborators.

    I got one of their cowbells last year at great taste. One of the girls that was with me took it and tied it around her neck and kept yelling "stop trying to grab my boobs!" so everyone could hear when I tired to take it back. I miss that cowbell :slight_frown:

    :confused: You won't need to trade for it if you are in Milwaukee at the end of July when it is released.

    It was on shelves for awhile last year, though it seems the popularity of Black Husky has gone up quite a bit since then. Still think you should be able to score a bottle when you're here though.

    You should find Pale Ale, Howler (not sure which hop version), Sproose, and hopefully Sparkly Eyes.

    I just confirmed Ray's posted on Facebook they got it, and I glanced at the Black Husky beers at Discount Waukesha today and swear I saw it.

    Awesome, thanks. Guess it helps that Discount "hides" Black Husky's beers....no need to worry about them getting scooped up as quickly.

    Sproose, Pale Ale, Sparkly Eyes, Howler, Headbutter Barleywine, and maybe Harold the Red if Downer still has it.
