Out of the blue, I was e-mailed by Monday Night Brewing and now I have the great pleasure of sampling three of their beers. First up is a ginger spiced wit bier. (A reminder: any beer I review, no matter how much I pay for it, gets the same treatment)
Pours a dark yellow or light orange depending on the light. Loads of bubbles here. Aroma is full on ginger. The taste starts with the ginger but you also get a bit of spice, clove I think and a bit of hefe notes. Maybe not a true wit but surprisingly good.
Here is the description of Fu from the Monday Night website, “A bright, spicy Belgian-style wit. An effervescent, easy-drinking wheat beer, brewed with Belgian yeast, German hops, and a whisper of ginger from the Far East. This mustachio’d Belgian-style wit believes that good beer defies borders. The name Fu Manbrew was crowdsourced with some help from our friends at Scoutmob. They call the mustache a “Flavor Savor” for a reason.”
Hehehee, Fu Man Brew makes me giggles
That is why I ask brewers where their beer names come from. I want to know where these clever ideas spring from.
I’ll keep an eye out for it!! Adding to wishlist
You will have to be in Atlanta, unfortunately. But it is up your alley.
