DuClaw Bare Ass Blonde
This handcrafted brew is our most popular beer. Could it be the mild hop character and smooth drinkability that brings people back? The light color and medium body? The name?

Interview with a Brewmaster – Maryland Malt Master
A part of the “Featured Brewery” activities this month on CellarMonk, we are lucky enough to interview the head brewer for the DuClaw Brewing Company. Since we are covering almost every aspect of DuClaw, it was time for their head brewer, Jim Wagner, to sit down in the comfy computer chair of fame and answer some of the most important questions ever asked of a brewer. Not really, but they are good questions. So sit back, grab a HellRazer IPA (available locally in Maryland, sorry) and read on.

DuClaw Devil’s Milk
Each year since it was first brewed in 1998, Devil’s Milk, the Brewer’s Association of Maryland Governor’s Cup gold medal winner in 2006, 2007 and 2008, has used a different blend of hops to flavor and bitter the beer, making each batch of Devil’s Milk a unique experience. The 2010 vintage of Devil’s Milk epitomizes the American Barley Wine-Style Ale. A medium bodied, copper ale with a thin, persistent, off-white head and a complex flavor profile with an assertive hop bill. A backbone of Columbus hops for bittering (66 ibu’s) creates a solid base for the mesmerizing citrus flavors and aromas of the palate dominating Chinook hop finish and warming…

DuClaw 13 Degrees
First brewed in 2002 and available each Spring, 13 Degrees exemplifies the German-style Hefe-weizen. Made with a 50/50 mix of malted wheat and barley malt, it is straw-colored with a lingering white head atop a chaotically cloudy, medium body. The beer is left unfiltered to capture the distinct clove and banana flavors contributed by the style-specific strain of yeast used in fermentation. With just enough hop character to balance these unique flavors as they fade to a, dry, crisp finish, and a moderate 4.8% abv.,13 Degrees is a flavor-packed, refreshing brew that defies expectations and superstitions.

DuClaw Bad Moon Porter
A complex, robust porter, Bad Moon is medium to full bodied with a slightly sweet, malty presence combined with hints of chocolate and coffee. This is a full-bodied beer that gets its chocolate and coffee-like flavors and color from the use of generous amounts of roasted malts. It has a smooth finish and a balanced hop character.

Congratulations to our friends at Brasserie de Brunehaut for having two of their gluten-free beers selected in the top ten of Paste Magazine’s “The 14 Best (and Worst) Gluten-Free Beers”. I know that brewer Marc-Antoine De Mees works very hard to make the very best gluten-free beers available and this helps solidify his position in the niche of gluten-free products. Comments about Brunehaut’s beers, according to Paste, {xtypo_quote}3. Brunehaut Ambrée For Fans Of: Ommegang Abbey AleThe verdict: Belgian brewery Brunehaut has figured out how to use barley in its ales and extract the gluten after the fact. Though it measures at the same “less than five parts per million” of gluten that non-barley…
