It's Friday. You made it! Now you deserve a beer. To help celebrate we have three new additions to family to help ease you into the holiday weekend.
First is Eggenberg's Mac Queen's Nessie. This is a smoke beer made with Scottish Highland Whiskey malts. It has a relative low ABV of 5.0%
Het Anker's Gouden Carolous "Cuvee Van de Keizer Blauw" this an 11% Brown Belgian Strong Ale. Malt, fruits and toffee in the aroma. Full bodied powerful vinous fruity flavor with some acidity.
Van Honsebrouck's Bacchus. It's a Flemish Sour Brown Ale aged in Oak. A typical Flemish beer with a pleasant wine-like taste and a rich past. This dark brown beer, which is matured in oak casks, has a slightly acid aftertaste.
All three are at the Bayou.
Also released today is Epic's Imperial Red Ale. Brown Rice Ale & Sour Apple Saison. Should be available this afternoon - at the brewery.
Don't forget that the Mountain Brewers Festival is a week from tomorrow (6/5/10). Tickets locally are at Uinta, Bohemian and Roosters. They can also be purchased at the fest.
Cheers!

A quick correction for you. The MacQueens Nessie uses Scottish Highland malt but it is not peat smoked. The beer is interesting, much lighter than I expected with a great malty nose. I need to try it again thinking session beer instead of Scottish ale. The brewer is better known for their famed Samichlaus.
The Bacchus however is F*ing amazing!!! We have already polished off several cases just among staff.
Are you sure? the Schloss Eggenberg website describes it as "smokey".
That Bacchus was a great surprise! What a nice balanced sour beer.
Oh man I need to get in quick to try this Bacchus. Can't get enough of the sour!
