Since I had such a positive reaction to the last Cascade sour that I had, I thought I should highlight another one…
The mix of lime and spice should work well.
Loca
Baklava
Not to stereotype but I would have thought that a Baklava based beer would have come from a place with a large Eastern European contingent. But this new pastry stout comes from Deschutes and it actually sounds quite delicious based on the special ingredients list as well as the tri-barrel approach.
Blager
There are two parts to the new beer release from Cismontane Brewing.
1.Bourbon barrel-aged sour aged in Buffalo Trace barrels for a year. Tart on the nose, with a hint of toffee and oak on the front. A cidery quality accents the distinct taste of Buffalo Trace on the finish.
2.This brew is dedicated to the beer bloggers of the world who tell it like is, guiding the masses toward their liquid destiny.
It seems odd to dedicate (in a way) a beer to bloggers then give it the unappetizing name of “blager”. And I don’t know if any beer bloggers were asked to participate or were invited to choose a beer style because I would have liked to suggest a historical style of beer.
