To end our month of fig related beers. What with the recently completed holiday that has a song about figgy pudding, which I don’t think has figs in it,* we head out to a daring brewing first then one with a Steadman-esque approach to beer…
Shorts Brewing – Fig Lebowski
“Fig Lebowski is a big bodied Winter Warmer brewed with figs, honey, cinnamon, and orange zest. With a coffee color and a creamy tan lace, sweet scents of plum and molasses rise from this alluring ale. As rich as a liqueur, flavors of dark brown sugar, honey and figs leave a layering of sweetness across the palate with a hint of spice.”
Flying Dog – Fig & Fennel
“Malt beverage brewed with figs, fennel and natural flavors. Pairs with oatmeal raisin cookies. Creamy licorice and brown fruit are in perfect harmony with oats, raisins and cinnamon. No pudding required.”
*According to Wikipedia, figs are one way to make a traditional Figgy Pudding.
