POSTPONED: 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 during Pumpkin Chuck on Saturday, September 26, 2020.

New this year: We'll be tapping wet oak barrels that are filled with last year's 'Depth Charge' Doppelbock and allowing guests to purchase and enjoy barrel aged beer straight from the barrels. This 'Barrel Tapping' is the official release of our 2019 Vintage 'Depth Charge' Doppelbock. The beer will not be packaged or available in bombers at this event, so this rare tapping should not be missed!
