Just read something pretty interesting on a Swedish beer blog. The blogger had dinner with Garrett Oliver, who told him about a planned beer. A rough translation:
We came to talk about what was going on in the future in "Brewers Reserve" series. Especially a beer Garrett was enthusiastic about: It was, if I got it right, a black ale of some sort in which the malt was first smoked over wood, mixed with bacon. It was then brewed and stored in whisky casks with bacon grease under some sort of process really designed to remove grease from water, but reversed. Or something like that. "Either this will be absolutely fantastic. Or ****ing disgusting! "
Anyone else heard anything about this? Sounds like something I'd like to try.
