E-Malt.com News article: USA, CO: Strange Brewing releases Dr. Strangelove in bottles

The crew behind Strange Brewing are preparing to launch in Denver a beer named Dr. Strangelove, westword.com reported on May, 16.

Strange will release 1,000 bottles of Dr. Strangelove, a 11.5 percent ABV barleywine-style ale. It is the first beer that Strange has packaged in bottles.

"Hopefully, this will be a big deal," says Strange co-owner Tim Myers, who brewed this batch of Dr. Strangelove shortly after winning the medal and has been aging it since.

The bottles - which will be hand-labeled, dipped in wax and individually numbered - will go on sale for $20 each; there is a limit of two cases per person.

Tim Myers, the owner, hopes to brew twice as much this year for a batch in 2013, and he says the beer, like most barleywines, will improve with age. "It was servable at three months and better at six months."

Strange, which opened during American Craft Beer Week in 2010, is celebrating its third anniversary this week with a series of events.
