It would be gross negligence to not include The Bruery in a holiday beer round-up. So let’s get out the brandy barrels for some frost…
Christmas Beer Time – Day 21
Brandied About
Chimay has been putting some of their classic Belgian ales into barrels and this year, the new Barrel-fermented Grand Reserve is aged in “barrels of Brandy sourced from one of the oldest wine regions in the world”. It is certainly on my extra long wish list.
Holiday Cheers – Day 29 – Mulled Memories from Bottle Logic
Getting near the end here, let’s add in a new beer from Bottle Logic Brewing and one of their pastry-esque beers with a memory, a Mulled Memory.
“Apple Brandy Barrel-Aged Mulled Golden Ale with elegant aromas of wintery apple cider curl from the glass of this Apple Brandy Barrel-Aged Golden Ale. A subtle wisp of lactose twists through the base, tethering the delicate apple character to a warming blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and citrus peel.”
Apple Brandy-d
Glad to see that The Bruery still sends out the odd wheatwine-style. And this one sounds like it could be the start of a single apple series of Apfels. Maybe hit up an Opal or Arkansas Black in the future.
