  • Beer Department: Get to know Brettanomyces

    Comments Off on Beer Department: Get to know Brettanomyces

    ​Most beer is fermented by yeast of the genus Saccharomyces, mostly of the species cerevisiae. There are thousands of strains of saccharomyces cerevisiae, many of them unique to specific breweries. All of these strains occur at a subspecies level; thus, various strains can be crossbred to create new strains that have desirable traits or that produce desired flavors and aromas in the finished beer. Many beers are defined by their yeast, whether it be the trademark banana and clove flavors of German hefeweizen or the black pepper and lemon notes in Saison. Read article

  • Beer Department: An Introduction to Trappist Beers

    Comments Off on Beer Department: An Introduction to Trappist Beers
    Trappist beer has a long history in Europe. Beer produced by monks has been treasured in Europe for centuries although the monks traditionally never sold the beer commercially. It wasn’t until the late 19th century that the monks began selling their prized beer outside of the monastery as a means of supporting themselves. Because their operating costs are low and they operate nonprofit, monks have been able to afford finer ingredients that yield a superior product. Read article

    I stopped by Listermann’s and shared a pint with Jason Brewer, the GM since 2012, and Jared Lewinski, head brewer since August 2016. What followed was a great conversation with these awesome guys about all things Listermann/Triple Digit.
     
    The first thing to come up was the Bourbon Barrel Aged Chickow!, which took Best in Show and a gold medal in specialty/experimental beers at FOBAB (Festival of Barrel Aged Beers). Over 400 beers were entered into FOBAB but our local guys barreled over the competition. Read article

  • Beer Department: Double IPAs

    Comments Off on Beer Department: Double IPAs
    ​As 2017 dawns, we can all look forward to a litany of highly regarded Double IPAs hitting the shelves in the next couple months, so I thought it pertinent to give a quick refresher on what a double IPA actually is. Largely an American invention, DIPAs grew out of a uniquely American desire to further expand the definition of IPAs beyond their original, relatively tame English forebears. American style IPAs opened the door to Double IPAs (sometimes called Imperial IPAs). Read article

  • The Art of the Barrel: Beer at its Finest

    Comments Off on The Art of the Barrel: Beer at its Finest
    ​Jungle Jim’s Barrel Aged Beer Bash is fast approaching, so we wanted to take some time to talk what really goes into the art of barrel aging beer. 

    What exactly does it mean to “barrel age” a beer? 

    New barrels are used to age whiskey, bourbon, tequila, wine, rum and other spirits. Typically the barrels are only used to age these spirits once, or only a few times, depending on distilling practices and state laws.
