Kelleys Island to debut new beer, bratwurst

Kelleys Island Brewery is debuting a new beer and a bratwurst sandwich made with the beer. The brewery on Kelleys Island in Lake Erie has teamed up with Fresh Fork Market in Cleveland, which has created a flat bratwurst made with the new Devil's Shadow Imperial Stout.

The beer and sandwich were expected to hit the menu this week.

Devil's Shadow is 9 percent alcohol by volume. Brewer Doug Muranyi said he was inspired to create the beer after having an imperial bourbon stout at Green Man Brewery in Asheville, N.C. His initial plan was to make a bourbon beer, but said he enjoyed the result without the bourbon.

"It's very smooth and delivers what a big beer should deliver," he said. "The taste of the roasted barley lingers with you for an hour."
