Oak Savanna and Prairie Restoration Tour
Tuesday, May 1st, 2012
In early 2009, the City of Middleton hired BioLogic Environmental Consulting to develop a restoration and management plan for Outlots 63 and 64 within the Middleton Hills neighborhood. Since 2010, the City has been preparing the site for prairie and savanna restoration, by removing invasive brush and weeds from the site. Planting may occur this fall or next spring, budget and site conditions permitting.
Join a BioLogic ecologist for an overview of the restoration project, a question-and-answer session, and a tour of the restoration area. The complete management plan is available for viewing at www.gobiologic.com/mhplan. For more information, please contact Mike Healy at BioLogic Environmental Consulting, 608-277-9960 or mhealy@gobiologic.com.
Beer Fans of Capital Brewery are in for a Mellow Surprise!
Tuesday, May 1st, 2012
Middleton’s Capital Brewery is giving fans of its popular array of high-quality beers two more reasons to look forward to spring. This May, the 26-year-old brewery celebrates the release of its newly crafted Hop Cream, a smooth-finished ale dubbed an “IPA-Notta” by Brewmaster Kirby Nelson. Hop Cream, made with Wisconsin-grown Nugget hops, will appeal to the dramatic hops lover looking for aroma and taste while also giving fans of smooth-finished flavorful beer something to enjoy, too. The release of Hop Cream also features updated packaging, highlighting the brewery’s heritage and history of excellence in Wisconsin beer making.
Hop Cream will be on tap at the brewery and a few other select locations during Madison Craft Beer Week May 4-13, and elsewhere in the state beginning in early May. The new release exemplifies Capital’s commitment using locally grown ingredients. In the past, the brewery has used wheat grown on Washington Island in Northern Wisconsin and ingredients from the state’s northern region in Manoomator’s (a wild rice doppelbock) limited release earlier this year.
Hop Cream marks Capital’s first entrance into the expanding field of hop-flavored beers. Nelson is pleased with the result. “It has a nice hoppy aroma, and initial pleasant hop flavor, finishing malty smooth and inviting. Very nice!”
