Ok well, this weekend we had a small tasting in our town at a small specialty wine shop and it was decent. But through all the beers I tasted (most I had already had) I stumbled upon a new brew that I absolutly loved and as every HB'r knows, "Once you taste a good beer - You gotta make it!"
So Here's The Recipe Challenge:
Steven's Point Brewery's
2012 Black Ale - March 2010
Description from Brewing Director Ken Carlson:
2012 Black Ales ingredients include pale, Munich and roasted malts, Cluster and Cascade hops from the Pacific Northwest and Saaz hops from the Czech Republic, said Ken Carlson, Stevens Point Brewerys Director of Brewing.
In addition to the Mayan calendar mystery, 2012 Black Ale is inspired by traditional German schwarzbier, or black beer, according to Carlson. German-style schwarzbiers typically are lagers, but we saw this beer is an opportunity to be more creative, he said. We brewed our interpretation of black beer as an ale, which means more hops as well as fruity notes that come from using an ale yeast. The use of roasted malts adds a slightly burnt character to the beer.
Also if you get the chance you must taste this beer!
