Nothing goes better together than good ol' beer and pretzels! Every Thursday we serve up huge beirhall style pretzels from Fat Boyfriend Bakery in Malden alongside a limited cask beer release.
Cask ale is a traditional British style of serving beer; beer is drawn out of the keg by hand and served at a slightly different carbonation level and temperature than normal draft beer to bring out new flavors and aromas.
This week, we're pouring:
Beer Name: Wasted Life
Cask Dry Hop: HBC 431 (experimental variety)
Style: IPA
ABV: 6.6%
IBU: 50 or so
Color: a hazy deep gold, bolstered by the slightest touch of burnished copper; it's a color that evokes memories of the most exquisite cream sodas.
Cheese Pairing: Humboldt Fog or Délice de Bourgogne.
Food Pairing: Jamón serrano, extra sharp cheddar, and a big hunk of crusty bread. Good night.
Music Pairing (Jimbo's Choice): "Bruce Lee" by Indian Handcrafts.
Music Pairing (Jared's Choice): "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls or "The Brews" by NOFX.
Best Occasion to Drink: As your first beer on Thursday evening, when the week is almost over and you just want to wind down. Then - hopefully - throughout the rest of the weekend, spurred by fond recollections of how good it tasted on Thursday.
Brewer's Notes: There's not much new to say about IPAs since there are five thousand or so other commercial examples out there, but it is a style that's a personal favorite of ours - we tend to prefer hops with the big, fruity, juicy flavors that are all the rage with the young'uns these days. But since this is our mainstay year-round IPA (don't worry, hopheads, we'll have plenty more variations on the style once we're rolling) we've tried to balance that out a bit (for everyday drinkin' we tend to prefer something that doesn't necessarily smell like a fruit salad with perfume on it) with some malty goodness and a dab or two of some slightly-more-nuanced hop varieties (don't get me wrong, we're all about intense flavor. But you wouldn't want an all-syrup Squishee every day, would you?). Needless to say, this is one you'll miss in between pours.
