\"Elevation<\/a>That\u2019s right, we\u2019re doing still yet ANOTHER beer naming contest! It\u2019s just that we feel really bad for all the folks that still haven\u2019t taken home the grand prize of a 6 month, 2-bottle membership to The Rare Beer Club, so we\u2019re giving you still another chance\u2026Make it count because there\u2019s a good chance that this may be the last one this year. Don\u2019t hold me to it. We still have slots in October and December to fill and I\u2019d like to get as many exclusives in the club as possible this year.<\/p>\n

This contest is our annual collaboration with Pints for Prostates<\/a>, and this year Rick has secured Colorado\u2019s Elevation Beer Company to be the honored brewery to create a beer to help PFP help educate dudes about getting properly screened for prostate cancer. Suffice to say\u2026It\u2019s a really worthy cause, people. The last time Elevation participated in this effort, they brewed an 8.5% smoked Dopplebock and the name that won the contest that year was one of my all-time favorites\u2026Prostator<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I got super fired up when talking to head brewer and co-founder Christian Koch about the beer he has in mind this year. He said something like, \u201cI\u2019m thinking about a blonde barleywine kinda beer made with a shit-ton of wheat and aged in Sauvignon Blanc barrels\u2026What do you think of that?\u201d Just kidding. He didn\u2019t say \u201cshit-ton\u201d, but I wouldn\u2019t have been offended if he did. Anyway, I was thinking to myself, \u201cSelf\u2026That sounds mighty fine to me! I\u2019ve never heard of such a thing. Tell me more!\u201d<\/p>\n

So we\u2019re calling it an American Wheat Wine. It\u2019s being aged in freshly emptied Sauvignon Blanc barrels for six months. Been in barrels for a little over a month now and the nose is currently showing fruity white wine, light oak, and a mild hop bitterness. It\u2019s going to pick up more of the barrel remnants, of course, as it rests longer. He\u2019s making it with 50% malted white wheat. It\u2019s gonna be pretty full bodied with a starting gravity of 25 plato (1.106 SG). Here are the tasting notes so far, straight from the brewer, that were no doubt composed when he snapped the photo in this post (what a sweet back porch, ya?): \u201cThis beer pours a beautiful golden color and has aromas of fruity white wine, light oak, and a mild hop bitterness. The flavor of our Wheat Wine is extremely complex. With 50% malted white wheat, is a full bodied beer with fruity notes of peach, lime, and passion fruit. This beer will age extremely well and flavors will meld and mellow over time.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s gonna be cool.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you need to know to play kids.<\/p>\n
