Brooklyn Gets Wild & Bourbon-y

2 days ago

Brooklyn Brewery (New York) recently retired Monster, their epic barleywine ale. After the cat for which the beer was named passed, the brewery thought the time was right. Plus, they wanted to make a little room for some new things. Meet one of the new things- Brooklyn Wild Streak. Streak is Belgian style golden ale that got a little funky with brettanomyces yeast, only to find itself aged in a bourbon barrel.

There was a time when all beers were aged in wood, and yeasts ran wild and cavorted together. Modern brewing is wonderful, but sometimes a little cavorting is a fine thing. … Read the rest

The Salve Jorge Bar in São Paulo, Brazil has created the Offline Glass to make beer drinkers focus on their friends and not their phones.

The glass is designed to be balanced on the phone. You have to have the phone on the table to put the glass down, otherwise the beer spills. See the video for a better understanding.… Read the rest

Terrapin’s Dos Cocoas Returns In July

4 days ago

Terrapin Beer Company’s (Athens, GA) Dos Cocoas was release #4 in their Side Project Series. (We are up to #20 now.) Last year, fans of the brewery were given the opportunity to vote to bring a beer out of retirement and I think you can guess who won. Dos Cocoas is first and foremost a porter, that gets it’s name because of two chocolate additions- cocoa nibs and cocoa powder. Chocolate and beer is a match made in heaven.

“Dos Cocoas” Chocolate Porter is a little experiment with a traditional porter and two types of cocoa. I used cocoa powder in the whirlpool and then aged the beer for one month on a bed of cocoa nibs. What you … Read the rest

BrewDog Enters the Spirits Biz

5 days ago

We are going to have to sit down and think about all the breweries that are starting to distill their own spirits, alongside brewing beer. Scottish brewer BrewDog is the latest to do so, and this time the spirit is created from beer. Watt Dickie (named for the brewery founders), is a 35% ice distilled beer, that is in a category of it’s own.

The brewery calls Watt Dickie a “bastard love child of the process that goes into making Tactical Nuclear Penguin, Sink the Bizmarck, and The End of History all exceeding 30% ABV. … Read the rest

Anchor To Announce New Fall Seasonal

7 days ago

Anchor Brewing (San Francisco, CA) is on the cusp of announcing a new fall seasonal – BigLeaf Maple Autumn Red Ale. Brewed with maple syrup. It just screams fall right? You’ll see that Anchor brewed this beer to honor the Bigleaf Maple Tree, a very special and very unique tree that lends it’s syrup to this beer.

Our fall seasonal, BigLeaf Maple Autumn Red, was inspired by a native California tree, its incredible leaves, its delicious syrup, and the colors of fall. Bigleaf Maple thrives along the banks of California’s mountain streams. Native Californians once made rope and baskets from its bark. Today, artisans handcraft its wood and burl into custom guitars. In autumn, its huge leaves – up … Read the rest
