Urban Chestnut's 2017 Winter Warmer variety pack hits shelves this week. Any one of these beers is guaranteed to keep you warm on a cold winter’s day! This year's pack includes:
Cherry Thrale's (Russian Imperial Stout with Cherries) – Peter the Great loved English Stouts and requested them for the Russian Imperial courts. Unfortunately, the beer could not survive the long journey until 1796 when London brewery, Thrale’s, increased the alcohol content and hopping rate in their stout creating the Imperial Stout. As a nod to Peter and Thrale’s, we’ve “imperialized” this stout by fermenting it a bit further with sour cherries.
ABV: 9%
IBU: 50
OG: 22
Mapleator (Maple Bock) – While its name pays Reverence to the "ator" tradition of this historic, German style, we decided to Revolution-ize our take on it with the addition of maple syrup, adding even more complexity to the deep, rich, and toasty maltiness of this classic Bock Lager style.
ABV: 8%
IBU: 22
OG: 18.5
Wittewijven (Belgian Golden Ale) – Tales of Wittewijven, or “wise women”, date back to the 600s. Some say they were healers, others say they were pranksters. We’ve captured the Wittewijven contradiction, quite intentionally, with our Belgian Golden Ale – refreshing taste & aroma… sneaky little finish.
ABV: 9%
IBU: 28
OG: 17
Cocoa CowTao (Chocolate Milk Stout) – Tao- Chinese for ‘path’ or ‘way’. Should you follow the Cocoa CowTao of UCBC it will guide you to a place of confectionary, bovinic, and zymurgic fusion, where you will find fulfillment through the exquisite wisdom of Chocolate Milk Stout.
ABV: 5%
IBU: 30
OG: 13.5
Look out for the Winter Warmers in stores and on tap now... Open fire not required.
