Yorkshire Stingo

Since the beer dinner featured beers from across the pond, here is another notable export that you can find here now.

Stingo071

“Stingo, traditional strong ale originating in the north of England, is mentioned in literature before 1700. Samuel Smith’s Stingo melds the fine history of this style with the signature elegance of the brewery. Brewed from British malt and multiple hop varieties, Stingo is fermented in open-topped stone “Yorkshire Squares,” with the Samuel Smith ale yeast strain. It is then aged for over a year in oak barrels that previously held cask-conditioned ale, gaining complexity and depth from the wood. Bottle conditioning – bottling the beer with live yeast for carbonation – produces soft conditioning as well as a fruity aroma and finish; it also allows Stingo to age and develop in the bottle for many months.”

New Oregon Beers!

Cascade Brewing 5 Barrel Thread:
a one-only blend of five amazing beers: Bourbon Barrel Aged Quad, White Port Aged Raspberry, Barrel Aged Triple, Apricot and Sour Pie Kriek. The blend may sound a bit odd, but brewers Ron Gansberg and Curtis Bain say you’ll be surprised by the “lift and color found in the final result.”

Barley Brown Fresh Hop IPA Roadside: Employing country roadside hops from Baker City, Oregon, this beer is a kind one of kind. Brewer Shawn Kelso says “It’s pretty hoppy and at 7.25% ABV you may want to just call it an I.P.A. It was brewed with fresh hand picked unknown hops that grow wild on the side of a road here in Baker City. I put 36 pounds in a 3bbl batch. It’s pretty damn tasty!”

Caldera Rose Pedal Imperial Golden Ale: Made with 11 pounds of rose pedals and two liters of Bulgarian rose water, brewer Jim Mills says “this beers tastes like a party at Grandma’s house.” Baileys taproom exclusive.

It’s raining beer!

from CNN.com

Flood waters that coursed through Atlanta area neighborhoods this week have finally drained back into nearby rivers and creeks. But hundreds of families are still coping with the environmental disaster inside their homes, which are covered with layers of mud and mold.
Weather forecasters predict more rain this weekend.

That’s the last thing most residents want to hear, but at one Atlanta company, a brewery, workers will welcome the rain. Instead of cursing more rain, they will consider it heaven sent — both an economic and environmental blessing.

In just a week, the rain has filled the tanks at 5 Seasons Brewery and restaurant. They’ve collected 2,500 gallons of water which…if my math is right…will make roughly 20,000 pints of beer!
So help save the planet, one pint at a time.

BrewDog

I had some BrewDog at the Stone Fest 13 and in bottles in the past. All were OK but not mind bending. I have read interviews with the brewer though and he seems trey cool. I heard about these beers though and am really excited. The eternal optimism of the beer geek.

New Oregon beer – Part 2

from Raccoon Lodge and Cascade Brewing comes…
the “recently released our newest “Kabalorater,” which is the second in a series of beers made in collaboration with the PDX Home Brewers Club. Brewed by club member Alan Ruoff, Mt. Hood Honey Moon is a deliciously sweet barrel conditioned beer with Mt. Hood hops and undertones of honey. The crisp beer features a nice backbone of German malts and weighs in at 5%. It’s an ideal summer refresher!”

New Oregon beer – Part 1

from Pelican Brewery in Pacific City, Oregon comes…
La Fleur Amère- With an abundance of floral, herbal hops and a rich, malty foundation, La Fleur Amère marries an assertive English-style IPA with exotic Belgian-style yeast. Brewed especially for the Oregon Brewers Guild’s “Cheers to Belgian Beers” event, but making a return appearance only at the Bite of Oregon, La Fleur Amère features a sparkling light gold color, an aroma of floral, earthy, herbal hops and a fruity, spicy yeast character. La Fleur Amère is dry-hopped with more than a pound of hops per barrel and finishes with a clean, snappy balance of malt flavor, hop bitterness, and slightly tart, spicy yeast character. ABV 7.% IBU’s 65 16.4 Plato
