Sometimes breweries fly under the radar, even for beer writers. Right next door, Lit Brew has been creating beers tied to ingredients of Armenia. Time for me to taste a couple to see what is up…
Golden Tahdig is based on basmati rice with a golden, kinda hash brown crust to it. I didn’t really get rice in this beer. But it had nice bubbles while also having viscosity plus a sugary grain taste that does not go over the top.
Fuzz Hazy with farro works a little less well. It has the signature hazy look and the softness in the mouthfeel is there but this hazy IPA is too weird and woody with odd little spiky rice notes.
Lit Brew has an apricot sour and a DIPA as well. Maybe I shall review those later as well.
