Terrapin’s Side Project #16: Phlux Capacitor

Dustin Watts from Terrapin showed me this last week. I couldn’t wait to finally get a hold of the artwork.  The brewery is on the cusp of releasing their next Side Project brew- Phlux Capacitor (any similarity with a movie living or dead is purely coincidental.)

Time traveling in at number 16 in our “Side Project” series of beers is “Phlux Capacitor.” This wood aged bully is brewed to an unknown style from another dimension.  Rumor has it that this beer was the first invented on planet Vulcan on Saturday, November 5, 1955 at 10:04 pm.  Scribbled on the back of a sports almanac inside an abandoned Delorean.  It is said that the speedometer in the car was frozen at 88 miles per hour and it took 1.21 gigawatts of power to jumpstart the car back to the future.  We hope you enjoy our interpretation of this totally fictitious ale. 

Style:

9.8% ABV, 88 IBUs (They were aiming for 12.1% (1.21 gigawatts!!! looks like it’s a little lower)
