So my wife and I are getting married again in November. We're already planning on tying in some aspects of our first marriage ceremony to mark traditions for marriages down the road.
Being into brewing now, and what with the new marriage, we figure a wedding beer will be a nice new tradition. And this one really likes dark beer. We picked good.
Are there any brown ales, stouts or porters that are considered traditional for weddings? It seems like light colored beers would be more suited, I dunno, just for all the symbolism of light, sun, newness and all like that. No surprise some are of the opinion that mead is a traditional wedding beer. Well, fermented beverage, anyway. But she really likes darks and we want to make this something special for her.
The beer has to be ready in 4 months. 5 at the longest. Not enough time for mead.
Ideas? Not just good beers, but traditional beers. Wasatch and Squatters have some fitting offerings to clone maybe.
