NEW SELF CARE NON-ALC BEER RELEASE: PAINTED RED
•
Description from the Brewer: Having been added to the brew schedule, and then removed for various time sensitive projects, time...and time...and time again - we’ve been committed to finding a slot for this red to be painted in. The recipe was built around how I feel reds should be brewed, but rarely are.
Brewers are often afraid of crystal malts (“THIS BEER IS OXIDIZED!” scream the uninformed Untappd reviews). But we’re not afraid. We also used pilsner malt instead of the more assertive pale malt, alongside ample amounts of light Vienna malt. We then split crystal malt duties between roasted and dehusked Carafa III and a dash Dark Crystal.
All this adds up to a full flavor that makes you feel like you are drinking a nice dark and rich beer, with the lighter color malts giving a base coat for the red color to dance around upon. The toasty and roasty aromatics from the malt bill also mix very nicely with a quick brush stroke of Cluster hops.
This should hit home if you genuinely miss good red ale, which the NA space desperately needs. This is going to be one you don’t want to miss, so grab yourself some before its gone!
And also, no. We did not photoshop that beer color. We just strategically placed the brewers flashlight behind the glass to show off its beautiful color.
