From Cambridge Brewing:
As part of our 25th Anniversary celebration, we’ve bottled a VERY limited number of our 25th Anniversary Imperial Amber.
The vision for this beer was to take our already-dear-to-our-hearts Amber and make it into something reflective of twenty-five years of powerhouse brewing. So we took the original Cambridge Amber recipe and literally doubled the malt and doubled the hops, for the same volume of beer. 4.5% became 9%. Malty and fruity became rich and caramel-y. Fresh and quaffable became a truly ageworthy stock ale. Then took this beer and aged half of it in 15-gallon, small-batch rum barrels from our friends in Ipswich at Turkey Shore Distillers. This added even more depth via char and vanillins, not to mention a good dose of fresh spirit character. The beer debuted at our 25th Anniversary Party in May.
This special bottled version of our Anniversary Imperial Amber was then bottle fermented for 6 weeks, corked and caged.
From 12 – 2pm on Saturday, July 12, CBC Brewmaster Will Meyers will kick off the sales of this special limited edition brew right here at CBC! Will’s gonna be here talking about the beer and offering samples to go with it. 100% of the $25 sale of each 22 ounce bottle will go towards our goal of raising $25,000 for the East End House here in Cambridge.
