Midwestern Beer News - Surly and New Glarus
New Glarus Brewing, the quiet and elusive darling of Wisconsin beer (not to be found outside of the state unless smuggled out by ninjas), releases their first seasonal, Cabin Fever Honey Bock, a Pale Bock brewed with Wisconsin Honey. Bocks are "liquid bread:" think all kinds of complex malt flavors and a sweet finish.
Surly Brewing Company of Minnesota celebrates their fourth year brewing with Four, an Iced Double Espresso Milk Stout. So far, one release party in Minnesota (at The Blue Nile) has been announced; perhaps more will follow (OMG Beer! prays to Ninkasi, sumerian goddess of beer and fermentation for a Chicago release party).

More Beer Releases - Flying Dog, Shiner (Spoetzl), Deschutes
Flying Dog's Raging Bitch, 8.3%ABV
Flying Dog's 20th Anniversary Celebration release is a Belgian-style IPA, with a delicate bitterness and citrus hop flavor. The belgian yeast transform the IPA into something a bit more subtle than your typical American version.
Spoetzl Brewery, Shiner Frost Winter Seasonal, 5.5%ABV
Brewed in the style of a Dortmunder lager, Shiner's own website describes the beer as hitting your tongue first with some malty sweetness and munich malt nuttiness, then fading to a crisp german hop flavor. Starts malty, ends like a true pilsner.
Deschutes Jubel 2010, 11%ABV
This is the next beer in Deschutes reserve series and isn't even up on the website yet. The folks over at beernews.org have the details on the story behind this extra strong version of Deschutes Jubelale, aged 13 months in Oregon pinot noir barrels. If you get Deschutes in your area, you should see this beer in February.

Seasonal Releases: Bell's Hopslam and Troegs Nugget Nectar
Two beers for the Hopheads of America.
Bell's Hopslam, who's label is updated to say "brewed with honey," is a bitter Imperial India Pale Ale, and at 10% ABV according to the website, quite a sipper. The honey may round out the bitterness with some sweetness in the aftertaste. Look for this wherever you go to get your Bell's fix.
Troegs Brewing Co's Nugget Nectar, built on their Amber Ale recipe, but with a lot more hops and some more malt backbone, got released on the same day as the Bell's Hopslam. 7.5 ABV, and 93 IBUs, so it's sure to still leave a bitter, resiny hop taste in your mouth, though the vienna and munich malt in the grain bill means a nice toasted grainy flavor should hide subtlely behind the hops.
