As discussed at the Sept 13th meeting, the time has come for us to propose a couple styles to Big Sky for their decision.

It should be a style that Big Sky can easily brew and are likely to get a lot of entries from the club. That probably means an ale.

Styles and substyles listed here: http://www.bjcp.org/2008styles/catdex.php

Strong Scotch Ale

Leader! Most 1st Place Votes
"Richly malty with kettle caramelization often apparent (particularly in stronger versions). Hints of roasted malt or smoky flavor may be present, as may some nutty character, all of which may last into the finish."

Old Ale / Winter Warmer

A little room for versatility and great for the beat of winter. Great potential with Big Sky's house yeast.

Imagine sipping a warm, spicy, rich sample of this at Big Sky after a long day on the slopes...

American Pale Ale

Refreshing and hoppy, yet with sufficient supporting malt. We're not talking IPA here, but just a basic, refreshing american pale ale.
