Bad Apple Brewhouse has some news this week. They currently have a fresh batch of Cucumber Mint flowing through the taps as a fun seasonal beer. They also brewed some Russian Imperial Stout, one of my favorites, that will be released near Christmas. The big news from BAB is that they are currently releasing the latest batch of Mosaic DIPA, a 8% ABV beer. As most people know it is brewed to raise money and awareness of Down syndrome. Brewmaster Jeff Saunders son has Mosaic Down syndrome and they donate all the proceeds from this beer to send kids to camp and fund other community projects. This beer will have a limited bottle run over the 2 batches that will be produced this fall. It will hit some special taps in New Brunswick, and is graciously being supported by the following locations - The Stubborn Goat, Lion and Bright and LaTorta Pizzeria.
