Fans of the musical ales of Woodinvilleโ€™s Twelve Bar Brews will no doubt soon be singing sudsy praises of some new beers, thanks to the arrival of a new and larger fermenter, ย the Washington Beer Blog reports.

The new 30-barrel fermenter will allow the popular brewery to increase production by 40 percent.

โ€œIโ€™m leaning toward doing some different imperials,โ€ owner Kirk Hilse, a Woodinville High grad, told the blog. โ€œBut I may change my mind on that so donโ€™t quote me.โ€

The breweryโ€™s ales are available at some 80 Seattle area bars and restaurants, including the Horseshoe Tavern and Rooneyโ€™s here in Woodinville, and Preservation Kitchen in Bothell.

Woodinville Patch was there soon after Twelve Bar began strumming barley and hops -- see the story here: http://woodinville.patch.com/articles/twelve-bar-woodinville-born-and-brewed.
