Three Traps

We have quite the special brew to talk about today.  Three Trappist breweries ( La Trappe, Tynt Meadow, and Zundert ) have banded together on a new beer: Three Rules of Authentic Trappist. 

“The Three Rules of Authentic Trappist is a full-bodied, perfectly balanced Dubbel. The beer is characterised by a full, layered taste of sweet caramel, toasted malt, and a hint of peat, combined with subtle spicy and hoppy notes. This leads to an unparalleled taste experience with every sip.”

Part of the proceeds of the new beer will benefit Trees for All.

Buzzed 24

Each year Smog City Brewing releases Buzzworthy a “bourbon barrel-aged honey stout brewed with over 600 pounds of raw buckwheat honey…”

Two things have changed this year.  First it’s in cans and there is a special red wine barrel-aged variant for 2024.  And you know that Smog City does barrel-aged variants quite well.

Intended

I do like a good pun and Dogfish Head Brewery has made some clever word replacements for their new IPA, Sage Against the Myrcene. This beer “marries the boldness of a traditional India Pale Ale with the earthy, aromatic qualities of white sage.”  Look for it in their winter variety pack.

Not So Motley Cru

On the list of breweries that I do not often talk about, BJ’s Restaurants  but the number 25 got me hooked.  The chain has that many years of brewing its Grand Cru which started along with the new millennium.

Grand Cru is a “Belgian-style pale strong ale gets its fruity, spicy kick from a unique Belgian ale yeast, plus a blend of bitter orange peel and coriander for a flavor that’s perfect for the season.”
