Rogue Brutal Bitter
12oz.
Brutal Bitter is actually full-bodied, deeply flavored, intensely hoppy
brew. There is nothing brutal about the rich, deep, mellow taste. It's
crackling but not sharp... This beer may raise eyebrows, but it won't pucker
lips. The aftertaste is clean.

THE WOLF
CREEK BREWING PROCESS
HERE AT WOLF CREEK, BREWING IS AN EIGHT STEP PROCESS THAT TAKES BETWEEN THREE
AND FOUR WEEKS. WE USE ONLY THE FINEST INGREDIENTS AND TAKE THE UTMOST CARE IN
BREWING OUR FINE ALES. HERE’S HOW IT WORKS...
1. MILLING: PALE BARLEY MALT ALONG WITH OTHER SPECIALTY MALTS IS GROUND IN THE
MALT MILL. THE GRAINS ARE TRANSFERRED THOUGH A LONG TUBE (THE FLEX AUGER) INTO
THE COPPER MASH TUN.
2. MASHING: ONCE IN THE MASH-TUN, HOT WATER IS ADDED TO THE GRAINS, CREATING THE
“MASH”. STEAM HEATING ALLOWS THE BREWER TO CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE OF THE MASH
WHILE IT MIXES, CONVERTING THE GRAIN TO SUGARS.
3. SPARGING: ONCE THE DESIRED BODY IS ACHIEVED, THE BREWER RINSES, OR “SPARGES”
THE GRAIN. NOW CALLED “WORT”, THE LIQUID IS SEPARATED FROM THE GRAIN AND
TRANSFERRED INTO THE COPPER BREW KETTLE.
4. BOILING: THE WORT IS BOILED FOR ABOUT 90 MINUTES, DURING WHICH TIME THE
BREWER ADDS THE HOPS. THE BOILING STERILIZES THE WORT AND CAUSES THE HOPS TO
RELEASE OILS WHICH GIVE FLAVOR AND AROMA TO THE BEER.
5. COOLING: NEXT, A WHIRPOOL IS CREATED WHICH HELPS SETTLE ANY SOLIDS TO THE
BOTTOM OF THE KETTLE WHERE THEY CAN BE REMOVED. NOW THE HOPPED WORT IS PUMPED
THROUGH THE “HEAT EXCHANGER” WHICH COOLS THE WORT FROM BOILING DOWN TO ABOUT 70
DEGREES.
6. FERMENTATION: THE COOLED, HOPPED WORT IS THEN TRANSFERRED TO A FERMENTATION
TANK (THE ONES ALONG THE BACK WALL OF THE BREWERY). THE YEAST IS THEN ADDED,
WHICH METABOLIZES THE SUGAR IN THE WORT AND PRODUCES ALCOHOL AND CARBON DIOXIDE.
THIS TAKES ABOUT 5 DAYS.
7. AGING: ONCE THE YEAST HAS CONSUMED MOST OF THE SUGARS, THE TEMPERATURE IS
LOWERED, THE YEAST IS REMOVED AND THEN THE CONDITIONING, OR AGING OF THE BEER
CAN BEGIN (A MINIMUM OF 2 WEEKS).
8. FILTERING: AFTER THE BEER HAS AGED IT IS FILTERED AND TRANSFERRED TO A
SERVING TANK (THE ONES BEHIND THE BAR). ONCE IT IS TRANSFERRED TO THE SERVING
VESSEL, THE BEER IS CARBONATED TO THE PROPER LEVEL AND IS READY TO BE SERVED
DIRECTLY FROM THE TANKS TO THE TAP TOWERS. THIS IS AS FRESH AS IT GETS.
