What’s Brewing in May
 

Closed for Vacation June 2-5
Yes, gone again searching out the best brewery adventures in the Midwest. Think I’ll head up through Minnesota and maybe northern Wisconsin but no itinerary yet.   

May Specialty Beer: BishopWeizen Bavarian wheat beer
Brewed for and named after the brewer's wife since the early 1990s, Bishopweizen is a traditional German hefe weizen with the characteristic clove and banana aroma and flavor.  This rich brew retains a natural haze.   OG 1.053; Alcohol by volume: 5.1 %; IBU: 11; Color: 3 SRM; Malts: German wheat, U.S. 2-row; Hops: German Tettnanger

 New Fermentation Room Christened
Check out the new ale fermentation room on your next visit. It’s shoehorned in next to the former fermenting room/aging cellar, doubling our temperature-controlled fermenting space. It will allow the old fermenting room to be used for lager fermentations.     

Celebrate American Craft Beer Week May 19-22
 Beer lovers, craft brewers, homebrewers, beer distributors, and retailers are all making special plans for the annual American Craft Beer Week taking place across the country May 17-23. The "Mother of All Beer Weeks" celebrates small and independent craft brewers and is a chance to highlight all that the U.S. loves about craft beer. In 2006, the week became the largest national effort focusing on American craft brewers and remains so today. Worth Brewing Company will celebrate by extending our $.25 mug club discount to members of any Iowa Brewery mug club or any homebrew members of the American Homebrewers Association. And our mug club members can double their discount to $.50 that week.

 Mug Club Renewals hit 88%
Thanks to all who  renewed memberships this year and to our 12 new inductees.
