WILK Friday BeerBuzz–15 Apr 2011 (Stoudt’s Fat Dog w/ Head Brewer Brett Kintzer)
I always enjoy sampling a great beer, but it’s even better to sample a really classic beer with the head brewer himself. Today we sampled the perfect breakfast beer, Stoudt’s Fat Dog Imperial Oatmeal Stout with head brewer Brett Kintzer.
Fat Dog is one of Stoudt’s Big Beer series of brews and this 9% ABV brew did not disappoint. I call I a breakfast beer ONLY because it is an “oatmeal” stout….from there Brett and the guys hop it up to become a pretty serious and really flavorful Imperial Oatmeal Stout. This 55IBU stout will sneak up on you with it’s great chocolate and malty backbone, and for a 9% Imperial, you’ll find it to be really drinkable.
It was fun talking to Brett and hearing more about the Brotherly Sudds beer being brewed TODAY @ Stoudt’s. This beer will be the official beer of Philly Beer Week in June and it features some old-school Schmidt’s Brewery yeast so it should be really interesting to try. It was also interesting to hear about the Brewery Battle of the Bands event to be held @ Stoudt’s on April 20th. This is a great fund raiser and a lot of fun so be sure to check it out.
Thanks
to Brett, Nancy, John, Joe, Jeff Kay Bosco for yet another fun Friday.

Stoudt's brews some great beers. Smooth Hoperator is one of my absolute favorites and I've been drinking Fat DOg for 10 years. Thank you Stoudts.
ReplyDeleteChris (Moosic)
Thanks everyone. I agree. Stoudt's has always had some amazing beer and I think they are a bit underrated in the local craft beer world. Smooth Hoperator is coming out now so watch for it in our local bottle shops and pubs and I too have been enjoying Fat Dog for many moons. My thanks again to Brett Kintzer for joining us on the air this morning.
ReplyDeleteIn case anyone forgets I know why you guys are award winning. You've had lots of great guests, almost every week and the beers you choose are great too. I love the show and my husband and I are regular listeners. We have it so bad now that we call each other right after the show to talk. Thanks guys and Nancy too.

I think Ed Stoudt and Carol Stoudt have done a great job so I was excited to hear Brett on the radio today. Rock on Brett and keep bringing us some more great brews.
ReplyDeleteRon
Any idea where I can get some Stoudts 2X Chocolate Porter?
ReplyDeleteMarty
I'm afraid that's a brewery-only release Marty so don't delay...get theee to Adamstown.
ReplyDeleteI'm just starting to discover some stouts so this is perfect timing. I plan to get this one and try it. I really like Sierra Nevada so I can't wait to try this one. Aaron (beaumont)

ReplyDeleteI don't always agree with your beer choices, but I will admit you get me excited about every one of them. I actually like Fat Dog so it was a pleasant surprise. I'm a supporter of the show and blog and I do plan to send in some beer suggestions if that's OK.

ReplyDeleteA really good beer this Fat Dog. Tried it last week. Great to hear from Mr Kintzer as well. Go Stoudts!
ReplyDeleteI live near Adamstown (home of Stoudts) and I go there all the time. Brett was nice enough on one visit to come out and say hi to me and my friends and for that I will always be grateful. Nice to hear him on the radio.
ReplyDeleteJason
Thanks Jason. I agree. Brett was a great guest and I encourage everyone to stop in to SToudt's (Adamstown, PA) and check it out.

ReplyDeleteJean
Thanks everyone and thanks for tuning in Jean. Hopefully was can say hi over a beer sometime.
ReplyDeleteGreat beer show. You are all doing a wonderful thing for the local beer scene. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSam
Brett Kintzer was a great guest. Stoudts is underrated in the beer world but still producing some first class brews. I loved their 2x porter.
ReplyDeleteKyle K
we love brett here at stoudt's! he is a fabulous brewer, part of the family and a true ambassador for the brewing industry. xo jodi stoudt
ReplyDeleteThanks Jodi....we really enjoyed having Brett on the show and I'm sure we'll be featuring more Stoudt's beers (and Brett) in the future.
ReplyDeleteStoudt's really has to be visited to appreciate it. If you're lucky, you'll get a tour from Ed Stoudt, which you won't soon forget. (In a very good way.)
ReplyDeleteI agree Stingo....go do the tour!
ReplyDeleteAnd get beer and bread to enjoy at home!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the artisan cheese ;)
