Ron's Dunkelweizen

 
At the Total United Northwood Effort (TUNE) wine tasting fund raiser on May 5, 2007, longtime Northwood electrician and community volunteer Ron Bruggeman successfully bid to have a brew made to support the Northwood movie theatre project. Ron shared a keg of his beer with friends and family, with another keg of Ron’s beer sold with all proceeds going toward the theatre. In June Ron worked with Worth Brewing Company brewer Peter Ausenhus to craft a dark wheat beer that’s light on the palate but full of flavor. We join TUNE in thanking Ron for his work to make Northwood a great place to live.

This German-style ale is classified as a dunkelweizen, or dark wheat beer. It shares a light body and fruity aroma and flavor with its paler cousin, but includes a chocolate, malty layer from the roasted grains.
