Good People Brewing “Coffee Oatmeal” Planned For Cans

Good People Coffee Oatmeal Stout

Good People Brewing, makers of some of the best beer in Alabama, are aiming to put breakfast in a can. Coffee Oatmeal Stout is being readied for cans. The C-O-S uses coffee from Primavera Coffee Roasters in Birmingham. Currently the beer has only been available on draft and cask.

The fortified body blends beautifully with the bold coffee and cocoa notes and subtle sweetness of the stout. Using Primavera’s Peru Norte roast, the coffee’s natural acidity and floral undertones accentuate the natural counterparts of the beer.

Style: Oatmeal Stout (w/ Coffee)
Hops: Columbus, Willamette

Availability: 12oz Cans (New), Draft
Arrival: TBA (Cans)

Avondale Bottles: No Joka Mocha

Avondale Brewing No Joka Mocha

Avondale Brewing (Birmingham, AL) is adding a bottling line. All 22oz bottles for the time being. Among those slated – No Joka Mocha, a seasonal release.

No Joka Mocha is an oatmeal stout malt beverage with coffee and cocoa. This brew has a blackish pour with a creamy tan head. A solid coffee aroma greets the nose with deep rich malts in the background. It has a medium body that is slightly sweet, with subtle chocolate flavors and finishes smooth with the oatmeal. Our special blend of Blue Batak Sumatran Coffee used in this brew comes to us specially roasted from our good friends at Finer Grind Coffee Roasters. Finer Grind and Avondale put their combined passion for beer and coffee together for this seasonal brew. 

Style: Oatmeal Stout (w/ Coffee, Cocoa)
Availability: 22oz bombers (Coming soon), Draft

Weyerbacher Sunday Morning Stout (The Best Part of Waking Up)

If you were to ask our opinion about Weyerbacher (Easton, PA) we would tell you they make a lot of amazing barrel aged offerings that don’t get the press they deserve. From Insanity (barleywine in bourbon), to Heresy (imperial stout in bourbon), even their Sour Black and Rapture beers are pretty incredible. They just don’t get the buzz like other breweries. Perfect really, more for those who know.

Above – Sunday Morning Stout, a barrel aged noob in the works from brewmaster Chris Wilson and his team at Weyerbacher. Aptly named too, as SMS is a stout aged in bourbon barrels with coffee. The best part of waking up.

Style: Stout (w/ Coffee, Barrel Aged)
Availability: 12oz bottles
Arrival: TBA

“Spring is a good time to brew up a reward for making it through winter, said Ska Overlord of Brewing Operations Bill Graham. “The Vernal Minthe Stout is a treat: sweet, but with great roasted and chocolate notes for balance–and a peppermint note that reminds me of spring. I bet I’m not the only one who could use a reward about now.”

Look for the next announcement in June, corresponding with the Summer Equinox.
