Where are the Tribbles?

Shmaltz-Star-Trek-Golden-Anniversary-Ale-
Shmaltz Brewing has taken the bold mantle of releasing a new Star Trek golden ale. The beer which celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek Series created by Gene Roddenberry’s has the curious sub-title of “The Trouble with Tribbles” and yet the label just has the starship Enterprise on it.

I can totally see a series of 50th Anniversary beers with Tribbles as well as Spock, Romulans, Khan and certainly Sulu. Or the same beer, just with different labels. But the design seems a little contradictory to me.

Let’s hope the beer itself will be a new frontier.

Straight up, the Nexus website and logo could seriously be for any brewpub. But who can resist when the owner flies the flag for Star Trek love?  Come On, gotta respect putting yourself out like that.

Here is what I would put in my taster tray on my first visit:

Honey Chamomile Wheat
“Local B’s honey, and chamomile flowers make this wheat beer slightly sweet and aromatically refreshing. ABV 6.0% IBU 16%”

Scottish Ale
“Our Flagship Beer! A strong very malty deep brown ale. Malt flavor predominate with nutty flavors mingling within.    7.0% ABV 28 IBU”

Nexus Maximus
“Seven varieties of citrusy, piney, grapefruity, floral, tropical, wonderful hops.  Plenty of malty sweetness to back them up.  This Nexus Maximus is one serious DIPA.  7.6% ABV   100 IBU”

Warp 10 Golden Ale
“East Kent Golding and Fuggle hops, Maris Otter malt, and Whitbread yeast make this well rounded strong ale exceptionally smooth and quintessentially British.  8.0% ABV  IBU 28″

Imperial Cream Ale
“Our World Beer Cup Silver medal winner is back! Crisp, smooth, light and packing one hell of a punch.  9.3% ABV 22 IBU (12oz only)”
