Depth Charge

press release: Old World brewing techniques. Explosions. Food. Music. Beer. These things and more make up Depth Charge!

Depth Charge brings to life Wisconsin's proud brewing heritage in a fun, dramatic, one-day-only brewing spectacle. This year, brewmaster Kirby and the entire production team will brew Lake Louie Brewing's 'Louie's Reserve' Scotch Ale - the cult classic and bolder version of Lake Louie's beloved ‘Warped Speed' Scotch Ale.

The beer's wort is boiled during the height of Depth Charge festivities, as white-hot (and bagpipe-led!) boulders are plunged into an outdoor brew kettle. The liquid is then cooled and allowed to ferment and age before it's released later in the fall.
