Fieldwork Brewing

[mordecai1]

This is my "home base" brewery. Everytime I leave town and try local beers in other places, I'm reminded of how lucky I am to live close to Fieldwork. Their hoppy offerings almost never let me down.

I can't believe they canned Churro. It might be the worst beer they've made. A churro stout could be great, but this beer is just bad.

I like it. Then again I buy my churros at Costco.

Had a chance to stop in at the Sacramento taproom for beers/dinner while traveling for work. One Star Review was great, as was Eastside Motel. I brought home crowlers of Green Rest, Eastside Motel, and Gosaic. Cool spot albeit very small, and great food!

If any one missed today's release, and wants some Destination Unknown cans, let me know. I'll be at Fieldwork for the Good Conduct release and have three to give away.

Can I get an alert/poke/ headsup if this ever gets remade?
One of the highlights of my beer year right there.

Have you tried that one? Untappd reviews don't look promising :/

 

[stupac2]

Oh the 35 cases is just for San Mateo, I was going to say... That one's interesting, too bad there's 0 chance I'm there on a Friday.

hopefully those reviews keep the crowds away friday.

Nope. Hell, I didn't even know they made old ales.

 

[CommanderofAwesome]

They do anything special to this, or is this a straight old ale?

 

[rcubed1]

Hopefully it's beer flavored beer. Which is becoming less and less common these days.

Hitting up Fieldwork Berkeley on Friday for lunch and release if anyone is around and wants to toe tap under the tables.

Wouldn't dare go to San Mateo and associate with ilk down there.

Yes, Berkeley. I was there right when they opened. Was wearing a blue and red plaid/buffalo check shirt. I'm terrible about actually checking this site to see if anyone is going to be at a place before I go. In any event, was just a quick in and out visit as I had to get back to the office.

Anyone confirm it’s just a straight old ale? No adjuncts or barrel?

“aged in premium whiskey barrels”

the email description is a bit different.

Joining forces with our close mates from O’Briens Pub in San Diego we brewed a tribute beer in honor of all of the legends of beer retail. A throwback to a time when craft beer didn’t reside on grocery store shelves; when it would hide on wire-rack shelves in the back of your local market and on the often-ignored bottle menu at the occasional pub. This was all before the tsunami-like hop craze and the synonymous bond between stout and pastry. Our king and queen of this era are the ester-fueled beers of Belgium and malt-driven strong ales of England. The excitement of finding these imported treats has never left our veins, and with the help of O’Briens Pub we paid homage to both with the brutish elegance we baptized as Jude The Obscure. As much floor malted British malt that fits in our mash tun stewed alongside a pinch of Belgian specialty malt providing a sweet dough character that carries this Old Ale along its entire journey. We fermented half of the batch with a fruity Belgian yeast then sent it off to age in whiskey barrels while its English Ale yeast counterpart rested in stainless steel for their impending matrimony. The result is a fairly traditional English Barleywine with subtle tweaks that give this beautiful monster complex notes of toffee, figs, fresh challah loaf, oak, vanilla, golden raisin, and the obvious; whiskey. We hope that with time these flavors will only meld and become more entwined with each other as the oak and whiskey notes slowly soften.

almost sounds like 2 beers blended together, and only one being barrel aged. "50% aged in premium whiskey barrels"
