Steve Crider of 2nd Shift Brewing has agreed to do our fourth Collaboration




1401 Olive Rd. New Haven, Mo. 63068


2nd Shift Brewing opened up late last year, but just recently announced that it would start bottling small batches of its beer.    We are very excited to announce that they will barrel age our fourth beer in the series.    And to add a little more fun to our Barrel Aged Beer Series, Steve of 2nd Shift Brewing wants you to pick which beer he puts in the Buffalo Trace Bourbon Barrel.    He has narrowed it down to three great choices (see descriptions below before voting)

What an amazing opportunity for you to vote on which 2nd Shift beer you would like to see bourbon barrel aged....You have two weeks to vote. Voting ends October 27





2nd Shift Brewing Cat Spit Stout
Coffeey, roasty, chocolatey, blah blah blah its a stout, just drink it, it's really good. 5.2% ABV

2nd Shift Brewing Hibiscus Wit (an imperial version of this beer)
Heres what I've been goofin around with for a while. I love belgian wits on hot summer days (or freezin your butt off days). Anyway I took a witbier and threw in a bunch of hibiscus flowers from Egypt and made the stuff even better. 5.2%

2nd Shift Brewing El Gato Grande 
EGG is another IPA that we came up with.
All you need to know is over 3 lbs. per barrel of Columbus, Amarillo and Citra.


Patience
Again, you have to be patient, we will not see this beer until sometime in 2012.   Expect to see some other bottled beers from 2nd Shift Brewing at The Wine and Cheese Place before then.
