Rapp Brewing to release Barrel Aged Imperial Stout

Rapp Brewing Company has undergone a transformation since Greg Rapp announced his intention to open his company in Seminole. After finding a warehouse space, owner Greg Rapp renovated a warehouse and office space into a brewery and tasting room. Now, after several successful bottle releases, including several batches of Rapp’s “OMG” strong ale, a bourbon barrel-aged robust porter, and more, Rapp is going to release his imperial stout that has been aged in a Heaven Hill brand bourbon barrel for seven months.

Rapp will release his so-called Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout, which clocks in at a hefty 11% alcohol by volume, in 22oz bottles beginning at 5pm on Saturday, August 16th. There is no bottle limit, so once the beer sells out, it is gone.

Rapp Brewing Company is located at 10930 Endeavour Way in Seminole.

Rapp Brewing teases photos of Barrel-aged Robust Porter

Rapp Brewing Company of Seminole has made a name for themselves in the short time that they have been open. Brewer Greg Rapp prides himself on keeping his tasting room stocked with dozens of house beers.

Periodically, Rapp releases a beer in bottles like OMG, or the vaunted Gose. Recently, Rapp teased photos of a labeled bottle bearing the enticing “Robust Porter Ale Aged in Bourbon Barrels” moniker. No release date or further information was set for this beer.

Rapp Brewing is located in the Seminole area of Tampa Bay and was named Ratebeer.com’s Best New Brewer of 2013. Rapp does ship a few kegs to distribution around Tampa Bay, so while a trip to the Rapp tasting room is not necessary to taste his beer, it is a worthwhile experience.

Rapp Brewing to release Gingerbread Ale

This Friday at 5pm, Rapp Brewing in Seminole will kick off the Christmas season by releasing their Gingerbread Ale in growlers and on draft.

From the brewery:

Just the right blend of spices in a 6.5% ABV English Brown Ale…slightly warming, a touch of malt sweetness – and gingerbread through and through!

Rapp Brewing to release Gose in a bottle

Seminole- Rapp Brewing Company’s Gose, the beer that won the brewery a gold medal at the Best Florida Beer Competition and helped gain national attention as Ratebeer.com’s #1 rated Gose, is coming soon to bottles.

The brewery announced this week that on Saturday, October 12th, 2013, bottles of Rapp Gose will be released for the first time ever. The brewery will impose a 4 bottle limit on those wanting to buy the beer, and each bottle will cost $20.

What is a Gose? According to Michael Jackson’s Beer Companion, a gose (pronounced “Go-suh”) is a “citric-tasting wheat beer, also containing oats, flavored with coriander and- the key ingredient- salt.” Rapp’s Gose is gaining in regard as one of the finest in the world, and will be released in a custom 750mL Italian bottle.
