Kane Civil Twilight

Once a year we brew A Night To End All Dawns, our barrel aged imperial stout. The 2,500 pounds of malted barely that go into the mash tun to create this beer contain a tremendous amount of sugars – so much so that even after we run off the wort into the kettle, there is enough left over to make a “second runnings” beer or “small beer”. This traditional technique is a continuation of the sparge and run off process that yields two beers from one mash – in this case our largest beer – A Night To End All Dawns – and now our smallest – Civil Twilight. In the tradition of small beers, Civil Twilight, weighs in at just 3.7% ABV but with big, dark, roasty flavors and aromas that belie its low gravity. This unusual process makes for a long brew day but a unique spin on sessionable ales. It will be available on draft at the brewery only starting today. Civil Twilight is the time at dusk and dawn when the sun is still below the horizon. In the sunless winters of the polar regions, this is as light as it ever gets, and it makes for a fitting follow up to A Night To End All Dawns.
