Huge-cog-in-the-New Glarus Brewing-machine Jeff Schaefer stopped by our humble little store today to give us the highly anticipated 2010 beer release schedule. After giving us a wink on the
already leaked Unplugged schedule rumor, he handed us next years list. The only Unplugged clarification on there is that the last one will be Apple Ale. The first 3 will be announced a month or so ahead of their release. Brews not returning this year are
Organic Revolution, Black Wheat, Coffee Stout, Snowshoe Red Ale, Yokel and
Hop Hearty IPA. Next years year-round brews are
Belgian Red, Raspberry Tart, Spotted Cow, Fat Squirrel and
Stone Soup. A new beer called Moon Man, which they're calling a "no coast Pale Ale" will come out in March and be available the rest of the year. It's a hoppy pale similar to Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, with a bite up front but a smooth finish. It will contain an as yet unrevealed hop from New Zealand that has never been used by an American brewery. The first seasonal in January will be
Cabin Fever Bock, a Wisconsin honey Bock that will obviously be on the sweeter side. February will bring the return of 2008's popular
Road Slush Oatmeal Stout, then
Cracked Wheat, Dancing Man Wheat, and
Staghorn Octoberfest. The final seasonal of the year will be another new one,
Back Forty Bock, which Jeff compared to
Native Ale, a beer made by New Glarus quite a few years ago.
Naked will also make it's 6 month summer run.
Discuss...
Update: Frank Beer Distributing in Middleton, WI has posted the schedule on
their site.

sorry to see black wheat yokel and hop hearty off the list but that is NG always improvising..looking forward to road slush and no coast
My two favorites are Organic, and Hop Hearty, glad to see the road slush coming back.
Really thought they would bring back the barleywine because of it's wild popularity, oh well maybe next year
Did he say why only six year round brews instead of the typical eight? You guys have any Black Wheat left there?
Jeff said what returned for 2010 was based totally on the voting totals from their site. The Unplugged's that they are doing were based on that to. Dan has said that he didn't do the Eisbock he was planning (in fact he never even started it)for the last release this year because he thought ice beers were becoming to common and they had already done it with the Iced Barleywine.
We'll have Black Wheat for a little while. The distributor still has some.
If you count No Coast, there will be 5 year round, which I think is what they did last year.
Just checked. 7 year-round this year, 8 last year.
What is the 7th one? Only six listed.
I'm counting the PA, which will be done for the rest of the year once it's out.
Belgian Red, Raspberry Tart, Spotted Cow, Fat Squirrel,Stone Soup, Pale Ale. I count six. Maybe thats all there wil be in '10?
Just looked at the list again. Sorry, you're right...6
The Coffee Stout will be missed.
List is up on the NG site. They have Crackd Wheat as year round, so that makes 7 year round and 6 seasonals. Good stuff!
I just picked up a black wheat, 1 Organic Rev., 1 Hop Hearty, 2 Yorel, and 1 dancing man wheat at a shop across the st croix river. Nice you can build your own six pack of NG! The Wisconsin Belgian Red is a nice one too. I can not wait to try the Moon man...
cheers
