Official Afterthought Brewing Company Thread

Don't think anyone has posted about it in here, but the 4 beers released around craft beer week were great. I wasn't able to make it to the Beer Cellar for the event, but thankfully everyone was still available the next day.

Lime and Yuzu on draft really hit the spot in that super hot weather.

Took a bottle of Saison Auran and Rafters home. Rafters in particular was delicious.

Deb Carey really liked Faible

Ha, very light on the “other” stuff. I just put a few bottles in my cooler as a few friends who were in attendance had never tried that stuff

I'm looking forward to drinking Suarez through a bone luge.

I'll call it the Suarez Canal.

Red Gooseberry was fun. Tons of fruit. A bit more acididty than most Afterthought, but overall one of my favorites.

Red Currant was pretty solid too.

Agree on the gooseberry. Didn’t have time to blend so will definitely need to bump down that fruit ratio next time

Which one had the brighter "red" color at the party? My brain was turning into mush at that point so I can't quite remember, but that one was bright / tart in a way that I haven't had before in an Afterthought / Thorpe beer.

I really liked it as it was so different from the majority of your beers.

I’m not actually sure on the color but would guess that was the gooseberry since even though the currants themselves are more acidic than the gooseberries they also have that underlying earthy, woody character that adds more depth to the flavor.

 

[BoatsAndHoes]

Awwww yiss. Saison Illinois is everything that I look for in a saison...bright, tart, and refreshing.

I’d like to get some friends together and do a blind saison tasting because this is right up there. Great job Thorpe !

Soooo much fruit in black raspberry. Think people are going to be very happy with 3 new releases.

 

[mjohnson171]

Thorpe I assume the same base beer? If so crazy how much black vs red raspberries change the flavors of this beer.

Also, beautiful colors man.

Correct. Base beer for both was a batch of Farmhouse Mild. Both brewed on the same day.

Also, for whoever listens (which should be everyone), I'll be on the Beer Temple Insiders Roundtable tonight.

 

[Thorpe]

Faible: Yellow Plum and the newest batches of Petit Meer and Saison Meer are now available at The Beer Cellar.

This batch of Saison Meer isn’t quite as tart and is more citrus-forward. This batch of Petit Meer is a little more oaky.

330mL bottles of Faible and a table beer with Cascade are coming soon. Just waiting on the labels.

Did this episode get posted? I haven't seen any new ones pop up in a couple of weeks, but Stitcher also kind of sucks.

I don't think so. It was on 8/9 and the last show was released 8/9. I'm guessing everything is delayed while Chris is out of the country.

Hoping to grab some bottles at the Beer Cellar on Friday to take home with me. Thorpe is your glassware also sold here, or is the only way to get that to order it online?

 

[trickytunadicky]

Also sold there

Nice! I love the glass style and the logo is great.

Thanks for your interest! The glassware that you're looking for isn't sold at The Beer Cellar and is only on the website. The Beer Cellar does still have some of the wine tasting glasses with our logo and theirs from the launch party last year.
