Here she is… the all new experimental maple sap beer, Ain’t Jemima! Be the first to try it on Tuesday, May 14 NOW ON TAP!

Style: Experimental/Maple Sap Beer
Original Gravity: 17′Plato IBU:22 ABV:7.6%
Description: We replaced 100% of our brewing water with Maple sap straight from locally tapped Maple trees, which lends an underlying wood-like character similar to the effect of oak barrel aging. Caramel and Munich malts play a supporting role to the familiar flavor of Maple syrup. Being a simple sugar, maple is easily fermented down to a dry, refreshing finish!

That’s right! Tonight, Thursday, May 16, Rockford Brewing will be doing a tap takeover at Hopcat starting at 5pm! We will have 7 beers on tap including the endangered Rockford Country Ale… Get it before it’s gone!

Beers on Tap Include:

Carriage House Ale
Rogue River Brown
Sheehan’s Irish Stout
Hoplust IPA
Rockford Country Ale
Mocha Porter
Ain’t Jemima
