New Beer Friday 1/21/22

This week, New Beer Friday brings nuance and sophistication to your weekend drinking this week. Speaking of sophistication,  did you fall off your Dryuary wagon? Uncle Mikey has found a nice, soft beer-mug-shaped pile of sagebrush; perfectly cushioned to praise your valiant efforts. Now, on with the new beer.

Epic – Captain Ron: This Raisin Stout was made with rum soaked raisins and is an Imperial Stout at its base. The rum-raisins almost give this a barrel or barleywine-like boozy sweetness. It’s not hot, but the rum qualities do waft into the nasal cavities easily. 9.0% – Available at Epic starting today.  

Wasatch – 147 West IPA (Broadway Cold Hazy): This is a combo of two IPA sub categories: The Hazy and Cold IPA which basically lagered. Looks for big tropical and citrus notes with less malt sweetness. The mouthfeel is compensated by the extra matter in the beer. Rouse the can if you prefer more haze. 5.0% – Available starting today at the UBC’s West Side Tavern/Beer Store.
