Coffee quad is Sweetwater’s recent release from the Dank Tank – BSP Quad brewed with coffee added. Yep. It’s just that tasty. Thought the BSP Quad went down easy? Add coffee. It’s addictive.

Quinte55ence & Keg from the Cellar @ 5 North!
Another interesting Atlanta Beer Week entry… This just in –
The newest beer for 5 Seasons North was just released. It’s called “The Question.” It’s Quinte55sence aged in a Kunde Estate Cabernet barrel for over 7 months. In a zen like twist – “The Answer” which is an earlier beer release by the brewpub, (which is the Quinte55ence aged in a whiskey barrel) came before the question! Crawford Moran – brewer of this enigmatic beer classifies this as a “quintuple” – keeping with the #5 tradition that surrounds 5 seasons brewpubs. It’s not a dubbel, or a tripel. It’s a quint! 5 hops, 5 malts, 55 IBU’s… you get the point.
Also – as secret keg was just tapped at 5 North from the cellar. It will REMAIN a secret until you get there… I will only say this… It’s got a lot of age on it. Truly a cellared beer.
Both are rare brews here for Atlanta Beer Week 2010!
