WILK Friday BeerBuzz–15 Apr 2011 (Stoudt’s Fat Dog w/ Head Brewer Brett Kintzer)

WILKFridayBerbuzz15
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.

stoudt's fat dogFat 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.

StoudtsNeonIt 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.

    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.

    In 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.

    In case your readers don't now; GO VISIT STOUDTS!

    Adamstown isn't far away and their bake shop and cheese shop are wonderful. Yes the beer is fantastic but it's a great foodie destination too.

    I 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.

    I 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.

    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.
