Reunion Beer 2012: Brewed again with Shmaltz. Each brewery will do a new take on the brew – together and apart.
Better late than never right? These bottles were expected back in July – finally making their shelves now. Back in February, Terrapin travelled to Jura, Switzerland and collaborated with Brasserie Franches Montagnes. (Actually, they were already on a European beer tour.) In the cold of winter, the two breweries created a rye based barleywine.
The barleywine — “Spike & Jerome’s Ale” is actually derived from 20% rye, 80% malted barley. The beer has been aging in rum barrels in Switzerland.
Style: Barleywine (Barrel aged) Taste Expectations: Lots to discuss here. Rum. Sour oak. Dark fruit. Raisins. Figs. Lemons. Acidic notes, vanilla. Like I said. Lots. Availability: Limited draft. 11.4 oz bottles. One time brew.
If you needed a reason to go to Athens, Georgia this friday, here’s the best one I have. Peppermint Patty Moo Hoo Cask. Terrapin has it for the tour at the brewery this friday. The cask is made with cocoa nibs and real Peppermint Patties.
Moo Hoo, a chocolate milk stout was bottled this week, and will hit shelves in a matter of days. The brewery as taken a little bit of heat from their fans over the changing the chocolate milk stout from 6 packs, to 4 packs.
