Short n' sweet best describes this week's New Beer Friday.
Slackwater's Beer seeker Joey Cardaccio joins Steph and Mikey in the radio pub today (Friday). Joey's procurement skills have turned Slackwater into a beer powerhouse in Utah. Check us out today at 2pm on 99.9FM KUAA.
Kiitos - Fonio: Fonio is a drought tolerant grass/grain that hails from West Africa. Kiitos is the only brewery in the western hemisphere to make a 100% Fonio beer. It pours completely clear. Some slight sake-esque fruit notes like apple, not tannic. Yuzu flavors make a big appearance here too along with some pleasant white peach flavors. The citrus qualities are strong and upfront. No hops here, it’s all the Fonio grain. 5.0% - Only at Kiitos.
Hopkins - Cole's "Helles" Kitchen: This smoked Helles was brewed with 100% local Solstice malt that was smoked with Beechwood sourced from outside of Logan, UT. It pours a crisp golden color with a nice head. The nose is dominated by pilsner malt, noble hops and light smoke. The taste has a light touch of smoky flavor to it as well as the hops. Good drinkability if you're a fan of mild bodied smoke beers. 5.0% - Only at Hopkins.
Here are this week's Small Batch Beers from Hopkins Brewing.
Cheers!
