CASK ALERT: Schneider Wooden Edel-Weiss

Many years ago, the beer brewed for Octoberfest was not necessarily the standard maerzen style lager beer associated with the event today.  The festival was in October rather than September, and it was often quite cold out, making necessary richer and stronger beers. Thus, Schneider’s Wiesen Edel-Weisse was made to be warming. It wasfull bodied, as the malt contained a fair amount of unfermentable sugar. In order to balance such a beer, it had to be brewed with more hops for balance, resulting in more noticeable hop character than is usually found in hefe weizens.

A wooden cask will be tapped today, 6 pm at Deckard’s Kitchen & Kegs.

CASK ALERT: Schneider Aventinus Eisbock

Brick Store Pub’s Anniversary is looming.  Continuing the tradition of a special tapping each day the pub brings you Schneider Aventinus Eisbock Wooden Cask.  This beer is an eisbock, created by freezing off a portion of water and extracting it from the beer.   What is left behind is a higher concentration of beer that is more pronounced in flavor and alcohol.

Schneider Weizen-Eisbock is brewed by Private Weissbierbrauerei G. Schneider & Sohn, or Schneider for short.  Its a damn good beer with high marks from all the beer drinkers, raters, geeks, etc.

Taste Expecations – Dark fruits, raisins, touch of clove.  This eisbock has a nice malt backbone also.

This beer taps from a wooden cask, at 5 pm today (6/10)

Beer Geek Tuesdays @ Cypress!

Cypress Pint & Plate is located in Midtown Atlanta on West Peachtree Street.  Cypress is a great, inviting  neighborhood bar nestled downtown with a penchant for great beer.  That’s exactly where my story starts.

Tuesdays are Beer Geek Tuesdays at Cypress Pint & Plate.  Beer Geek/Manager Wes Andersen designs these beer geeky evenings with a special line up of beers by the glass.  Here is tomorrow’s lineup (2/16) –

Stone Russian Imperial Stout 2009 — Imperial Stout, 10.5% ABV.  First released July 2000. This Imperial uses Warrior hops  to boost the strong flavors of chocolate & coffee.  Released early summer annually.

Red Brick 15th Anniversary — Barrel Aged Brown, 9% ABV.  Brown ale aged 13 months in Pappy Van Winkle Barrels.  Fantastic notes of vanilla and oak, with some caramel malt complexities.  One time release.

Schneider Aventinus — Weizenbock. (aka wheat dopplebock.) Various vintages will be available.  Each release is about 8% ABV.  Bottle fermented.  Top fermenting yeast used.  First created 1907.

Unibroue — Based out of Chambly, Quebec. Beers are bottle refermented with a process similar to champagne.  Popular beers include –  Blanche De Chambly, La Fin Du Monde, Maudite.  Various offerings by Unibroue featured.

Terrapin —Side Project # 4 — Dos Cocas — American Porter, 5.8%. ABV.  This beer was 4th in the side project series and is now retired.  Chocolate (cocoa)  overlays  into this porter for a nice finish.  I’m interested in how it aged.  Well over a year old by now.
