From Mendocino Brewing:
California Craft Beer month is off to a great start! Running from February 6-15, San Francisco Beer Week sets the month off right, and Mendocino Brewing was there for the opening gala on February 7th to pour the first of their special blended kegs—the Special Heritage Blend. As always, Mendo’s brewing supervisor, Ben Wilkinson, was happy to share a virtual taste.
The Special Heritage Blend is a once in a lifetime blend of three of Mendocino’s finest, strongest, and boldest ales: Imperial Barleywine, Talon Double Porter, and Talon Double IPA. The Barleywine portion of the blend is a sampling of Mendocino’s as of yet unreleased and unfiltered Barleywine. It provides the beer with a strong copper color, vibrant caramel malt backbone, and a potent nutty presence. The Talon Double Porter deepens the color and provides subtle notes of coffee, chocolate, and smoke to the blend. Finally, our immensely popular Talon IPA adds a strong hoppy presence from its unique blend of eight hops. This mythical creation is a very limited release, so get it while you can!
ABV 10.5% IBU 60 OG 25.0

The Special Heritage Blend is the first of several blended kegs Mendocino Brewing will be creating for different beer weeks. It will be on tap at the Mendocino Brewing Ale House and will also be making an appearance during Sacramento Beer Week, February 27- March 9.
