February 11, 2010 – cold dark and snowing. Not any ordinary snow – but instead a heavy, mean, ugly snow that spilled over the brewery. Leaving the brewery that late evening – who would have known there would be no brewery that next morning.
February 12, 2010 – awoke to the sounds of twisted metal, gushing water and alarms as tons of snow came crashing down through the roof and into the brewery. We tried to save what we could and accept the loss of what we could not.
As the day waned, through many a friends helping hands, a new beginning was forming. This was not the end, but alas a start to something new and wonderful.
Snowmageddon is a tribute to those who stood by and supported the rebuild of Rahr and Sons Brewery. Hard work, dedication, love and passion for brewing is what makes this late winter selection so special. Snowmageddon is a limited release available annually in late February to celebrate the rebirth of a brewery.
Snowmageddon will be an annual limited release, with the style changing from year to year. This first year is an imperial oatmeal stout, based on a winning recipe by a local homebrewer.

Bottled. A dark red-brown beer with a tan head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, soy sauce, alcohol, and alcohol, leading to a dry, roasted, and bitter finish.

Bomber from ericandersnavy. Thanks man! Pours very dark with a creamy darkish tan head. Roasted aroma - backed by chocolate. Near full bodied. Flavor is complex. First impression is either rum or chocolate. Definitely some dark malt. Maybe some floral or grassy hop? It’s sort of chewy. Think there’s treacle and dark fruit. And coffee comes out. Maybe cooking cherry. It’s definitely not all that sweet. And a persistent tang comes in the aroma with every sip. Pretty good drinkin!
