Blue Point Brewing Sour Cherry Imperial Stout.
Truly worthy its majestic name in fluid ounces, our Sour Cherry Imperial Stout is anything but sour. In fact, we have to make sure there’s plenty of it available for Valentine’s Day — after all, nothing says love like chocolates and a Sour Cherry Imperial Stout. This is an extremely complex version of the classic Russian beer style with plenty of roasted, black, and chocolate malts that delivers multi-layered coffee and sherry notes in a surprisingly smooth package. The beer is then matured with just a kiss of real sour red cherries. If you see Sour Cherry Imperial Stout on tap, give it a try — like true love, it’s sometimes hard to find.
Style: Imperial Stout (w/ cherries)
Availability: Draft only. November release.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that John & Chris Trogner of Troeg’s Brewing (Harrisburg, PA) flew out to Escondido, California to collaborate with Stone Brewing. Great news for sure, but the details of what was getting brewed was unknown until now. The result is a Cherry Chocolate Stout.
This beer is actually a 3(4?) way collaboration featuring 2 homebrewer’s Jason Fields & Kevin Sheppard. The duo won the American Homebrewers Association Rally in March. The grand prize is brewing with Stone & a brewery of their choice. To clue you in a little bit – previous winner Ken Schmidt brewed the Kona Coffee Macadamia Coconut Porter. (The leftover is the first edition of the Quingenti Series.) Fields and Sheppard won the rally with their Cherry Chocolate Stout recipe. This beer will include chocolate, cherries, & vanilla beans. John Trogner describes the collab:
[quote style=”boxed”]Homebrewing is a catalyst fueling American craft brewers. The opportunity to spend a day with Jason & Kevin (and the brewers from Stone) and bring their vision to life took us back to Boulder, Colorado, where we would spend hours formulating recipes, homebrewing, and educating our palates. Our earliest roots start with a six-gallon pot, a beat-to-crap stove and a burning desire. That curiosity of taste, our DIY aspirations, and youthful stubbornness has grown into Troegs Brewery, and those early days still fuel our passion.[/quote]
