An interesting new beer from The Bruery that is aging as we speak. This from Good Food:
The Bruery is small and they are constantly brewing to keep up with demand so fitting into the schedule was a challenge. Two weeks ago I got the call that they were going to brew the next day, and oh yes could I bring a couple of pies down with me so we could throw them into the mash. I spent the day with a bunch of guys who are crazy engineering perfectionist science geeks watching the mash become the wort. Sigh…perfection. Now it’s in barrels and we just have to wait. “This beer is designed to replicate the flavors of rhubarb raspberry pie. The recipe encourages sweetness balanced by tartness, intense fruit character, and a “graham cracker-like crust” flavor. The high gravity, high mash temperature and choice of specialty malts encourages residual sweetness, while the rhubarb and semi-wild wood fermentation will encourage tartness. The yeast selection will also add other fruit-like elements, and the esters will add to the perception of sweetness. Additional blending may occur prior to packaging to either encourage additional sweetness or tartness.”
