St. Arnold's DR 12

Looks like it was originally announced last May. I'm guessing that the brewing of Sailing Santa, Pumpkinator and Endeavour pushed off the next DR release.

Getting ready to judge final round of BBBB. 107 Old Ales. You'll see the winner as @saintarnold DR12 in September.

Currently we don't have tank space for DR12. We have more tanks coming in to accommodate growth and for beers like DR. DR12 will be coming. Just not sure when.

 

I don't care when, I just care that it arrives. If my memory serves me correct, either '09 or '10 had a late in the year arrival as well?

 

The DR series are not necessarily released according to the year. The last few releases just happen to be synced up with the number and the year. The series started in 2005.

 

St. Arnold just spoiled us the last few releases with the dr10 in November, then dr11 four months later.

 

Duh, I knew that.....it's such a habit to put it with a year and not just a number of release...lol

 

Ben from Petrol and I were on the final tasting panel. If Brock and the boys duplicate the home brew we tasted y'all should be in for a very age-able and collectable release.

 

well there ya go.

 

And here is the volume of the brew from the SA FB page.

For all our Divine Reserve fans out there, DR12 is being brewed today. As of right now there is 36 hours left until the brew is done. The Old Ale will use 60,000 lbs of two row malt to make 480 barrels.

 

judging by the numbers on their webpage, it looks like DR11 was about 403 barrels.

 

Based on the style, I can safely say that I will not be hunting DR this year. Its the only style I really can't tolerate.

 

DR12 will go through eight mashes and four boils. 36 hours is not far off the time to complete this brew. Actual total volume of bbls brewed to bbls packaged will be different. Very excited for it. Love Old Ales.

 

I need a DR1 to complete a vertical if anyone wants to help a brother out!

 

All I have left is a 2.

 

Got a 4 and 3 just subtract those and get 1 lol

 

Yeah, I doubled my vertical in less than a week; I was actually surprised at how quick that happened. I know of one person that has two verts, so I'm sure they're not going to give up their 1s...

 

I'm down to 1 vertical after doing a big tasting last year with 1-10. Need to hit up my buddies for some of their extras to fill out another 1 or 2.

 

I can almost wait for the hunt to begin. I live far enough outside of town that it always makes for an interesting day.

 

I've really come to like Old Ale's over the past year. If this is anything close to North Coast Old Stock Ale I will jump jump with joy.
