Released in the Tasting Room today, Scratch #94 features more than 100 pounds of puréed apricots added to the wort during fermentation. We then dry-hopped with three pounds of Citra hops per barrel to create an insanely vibrant citrusy IPA. This latest Scratch creation is extremely limited, so stop in sooner than later to experience this deliciously fresh, juicy apricot IPA! 6.3% ABV and 50 IBU. Availability: draft only (sorry, no growler fills).

Scratch #93 - Altbier was released in the Tasting Room today. A Düsseldorf specialty, Altbier is a top-fermented, moderately dark German-style ale that exhibits the dryness of a lager but also boasts pleasant fruity notes. The extended conditioning mellows the fruity characteristics to produce an exceptionally smooth, delicate, and balanced beer. Availability: draft and growler fills only.

SO how does this baby differ from the Troegs HopBack? Stay tuned. From Troegs:

Here’s your first look at the upcoming Troegs Scratch Series beer called Impending Descent Ale. We tipped you off back in early Nov that according to our pal John Trogner, Impending Descent would be “Huge” Russian Imperial Stout brewed to celebrate the end of the Mayan Calendar on 12/21/12. This beer will of course be released on 12/21 and stay tuned for ABV as we find out how Huge is “huge.”
