Reindeer Fuel Gone… For Now. Enjoy our new Fatty Nichols Uber Pils. by Jill

So, yeah… sorry.  We underestimated how awesome you all are.  We didn’t realize just how fast you folks were going to make the Reindeer Fuel disappear.  So it’s gone… for now.

Please bear with us.  We are currently rocking and rolling on another batch of Reindeer Fuel as we speak!  As soon as it’s ready to go, you folks will be the first to know. You can still find the Reindeer Fuel at DG’s Taphouse in Ames, and we did get wind that El Bait Shop in Des Moines may have some also. Watch our Facebook and Twitter for confirmation, we’ll post there as soon know for sure.

In the meantime, please enjoy our other fine offerings including the new “Fatty Nichols Uber Pils” – the big beer with the big name. This 8.5% abv lager is named after Ames’ “weightiest resident,” George Nichols aka “Fatty.” In the early 1900′s he had his own side show at county and state fairs, weighing in at over 500 pounds and was reported to have a seven-foot waist line.

With a name like “Fatty Nichols” we had to brew a big beer. Citrus notes in the nose from American hops give way to a bold 8.5% abv lager with some spicy alcohol overtones. Warning this “fatty” sized libation should be handled with care. Drink in moderation.

Once again, we’re sorry.  We’ll fix it.  We promise. Come in and try the Fatty Nichols Uber Pils. We think you’ll love it!

Love,
The Brewhouse
