Alcohol, Date Idea
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. Every Thursday, we tap a fresh pin (keg) of this deliciousness!
This week, we're pouring:
Beer Name: Black Witow
Style: Dark Wheat Ale
Cask Addition: Rock 'n Rye-soaked oak chips
ABV: 3.7%
IBU: 18
Color: Darker than dark; edged by a different, less-dark black.
Cheese Pairing: Morbier.
Food Pairing: Beer-steamed mussels with sausage.
Music Pairing (Jimbo's Choice): "BBQ USA" by Mojo Nixon or "Into the Fog" by The Budos Band.
Music Pairing (Jared's Choice): "White Dynomite" by White Dynomite.
Best Occasion to Drink: As a "cool down" beer between dinner and dessert.
Brewer's Notes: This recipe was originally created out of spite, just like any good beer, but the result was so good that we kept coming back to it. We've gone through a couple variations on this concept, but we keep coming back to the tanginess of the wheat and the subtle fruitiness imparted by the spices we use. It's an easy sipper, perfect for preventing palate fatigue when you want a dark beer but don't one that's a full meal (or one that requires a nap after you finish it).
BONE UP BREWING COMPANY //
A Small Brewery Making Beer For Your Mouth in Scenic Everett, Massachusetts.
Bone Up Brewing is the Boston area's smallest brewery! Husband-and-wife brewing duo Jared and Liz Kiraly crank out fresh new beer every week from their 3-barrel nano brewery and taproom. Inspired by old-school Belgian farmhouse brewing while celebrating American styles, their ales combine the heart and soul from each of these beloved beer cultures. Four year round beers are always available, but the gears of Bone Up are always turning, so you can expect an ever-changing array of one offs, seasonal releases, and experimental batches.
Located in the heart of Everett's budding Fermentation District, the taproom is open Wednesday through Sunday and features full pours, flights, and growlers from ten rotating tap lines. In addition to a weekly cask, the taproom hosts games and an ongoing series of food vendors and pop ups. Outside of the occasional tasting, the best place to find Bone Up is right at the source!
