Now on tap, The Woo and Runner-Up Ale. The same malt was used to brew two distinct beer styles. The first runnings from the mash was used to brew The Woo, an American Barleywine. The sugar rich first runnings allow this beer to reach a higher alcohol strength, 10% ABV. To balance the intense maltiness 22 lbs of hops were added to the kettle, almost enough to clog the system, and then another 8 lbs of Cascade hops were used for dry hopping.
Not wanting to waste the remaing sugars in the mash, we used the second runnings to brew whats traditionaly called a Small Beer. Runner-Up Ale is significantly lighter in strength and color then its older sibling. The Styrian Golding hops provide a floral aroma the complements the flavors from the belgian yeast strain we fermented it with.
