Dan cracks and mentally transports himself to the French countryside with his second French-Style Pilsner ever, Wayward Lane Brewing’s Sanson. Wayward Lane Brewing Sanson STYLE: French-Style PilsnerABV: 4.8%IBU: N/AAVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/draft (Limited)Stats above taken from the can/website/Untappd. Appearance Crystal clear, straw yellow in color, with a white, healthy, foamy head. Aroma Bread, flour, and spicy European hops. Taste Super clean, crisp, with a stoney minerality, breadstick, and an earthy hop note. Mouthfeel Fairly dry, light in body and on the mouthfeel, with foamy carbonation. Overall This is my second French-Style Pilsner, as I had my first for Episode # 450: Fur-Bearing Trout. I want to drink a few of these outside on a porch or at a picnic or barbecue. Pairing-wise, goat cheese flatbread hit my mind first, but generally lighter fare with shallots or rustic French favorites would fit. Cheers and remember: Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.

If Dan sees a rauchbier, he will buy said rauchbier. This one is from the fine folks at KCBC: As The World Burns. KCBC As the World Burns STYLE: RauchbierINGREDIENTS: Munich and traditional Beechwood-smoked malt from Bamberg; German-grown Perle hopsABV: 5.2%IBU: N/AAVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/draft (Limited)Stats above taken from the can/website/Untappd. Appearance Super, deep dark brown with some ruby along the edges, and a foamy, frothy, tan head and some lacing. Aroma Campfire, bacon, toasted bread a la an Irish or English breakfast. Taste Aroma notes continue, though more subtle, with toasted bread and smoked meat elements are more forward. Mouthfeel Medium body with soft carbonation and a velvety mouthfeel. Overall If I see a rauchbier, I will almost definitely buy it because I do not see them often. I had just seen a video about half-smokes in DC, so that was a clear pairing idea, though any other smoked meats, barbecue, or other typical dishes would work.

Dan was elated to find a beer from Montclair Brewery at his local, so he pours Peoples Republic of Montclair, a Belgian Dubbel. Montclair Brewery Peoples Republic of Montclair STYLE: Belgian DubbelABV: 7.9%IBU: N/AAVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/draft (Limited)Stats above taken from the can/website/Untappd. Appearance Dark amber with some dark orange along the edges, and some nice lacing and an off-white, foamy and frothy head. Aroma Coriander leads followed by dark fruit/dates. Taste Dried fruit and caramel-like sweetness a la Basic 4 cereal. Mouthfeel Medium body and moderately dry, smooth mouthfeel, and soft carbonation. Overall I would love to have this (and more) on my next visit to Montclair…LOVE the vibe there and I highly recommend it if you’re in northern New Jersey. FYI you cannot detect the ABV on this, so definitely go slow on this one. This is a food-friendly brew, and I was feeling hearthy poultry/fowl dishes like chicken with chili sauce.

Dark mild? YES PLEASE! Dan cracks The Quarry from Ever Grain Brewing Company in Camp Hill, PA to slake his English beer thirst. Ever Grain Brewing Company The Quarry STYLE: Dark MildINGREDIENTS: British pale and specialty malts; East Kent Goldings hopsABV: 4.2%IBU: N/AAVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/draft (Limited)Stats above taken from the can/website/Untappd. Appearance Medium to dark brown with edges of ruby and a tan, large-bubbled, fluffy head. Aroma Caramel and dark caramel leads, with toasted bread following and some roasted malt and shaved chocolate. Taste Roastiness leads with some additional elements from the aroma coming in, and finishes with a slate-like minerality. Mouthfeel Light on the palate and moderately dry, with fairly soft carbonation. Overall Again, if I see a dark mild, I will almost definitely get it. This is pretty accurate to style and sessionable, with many pairings available with pub fare, wings, and definitely watching a soccer match. Cheers and remember: Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.

Dan checks out a new hop technique in the form of Nelson Bliss, showcased in Aurora Brewing Company’s hazy IPA of the same name. Aurora Brewing Company Nelson Bliss STYLE: IPA – New England / HazyINGREDIENTS: Nelson Bliss from Freestyle HopsABV: 7.3%IBU: N/AAVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/draft (Limited)Stats above taken from the can/website/Untappd. Appearance Hazy and dark yellow, with fluffy, white head. Aroma Tropical notes immediately hit, with pineapple, pineapple candy, and a blend of guava and passionfruit with lemon and lime zest. Taste Lemon/lime continues from the aroma, followed by a Five Alive-like flavor, with a finish of pineapple juice with corresponding acidity and juiciness. Mouthfeel Moderately dry, with a medium body and moderate, soft carbonation. Overall I am looking forward to having more beers with this experimental process, as I would love to see how “hop husbandry” will play a role in hop farming moving forward. Pairing-wise, I was feeling something in a Southwest flair, a la fish tacos. Cheers and remember: Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.

Dan shucks open a rare oyster stout with Union Street Brewing Company’s Oysters In My Pocket, a collaboration with Montauk Catch Club. Union Street Brewing Company Oysters In My Pocket STYLE: Oyster StoutABV: 5.3%IBU: N/AAVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/draft (Limited)COLLABORATION: Montauk Catch ClubStats above taken from the can/website/Untappd. Appearance Super dark brown burgeoning on black, with a tan, fluffy head and some legs on the glass. Aroma Caramel hits first with some dark roast coffee coming after. Taste Caramel, high concentration cacao, and finishing with that dark roast coffee and saline-like minerality. Mouthfeel Drier than expected, super smooth with soft carbonation and mouthfeel, and a medium body. Overall Oyster stouts are about as rare as they come, style-wise…glad I could get this one. Pairing-wise, cream-based desserts for contrast, though pecan pie also came to mind; oysters are a clear savory play, though chicken or lighter meat dishes like beef stew with not too high a spice element Cheers and remember: Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.

Dan enjoys a celebratory beer from a recent haul: Strong Rope Brewery 10th Anniversary Golden Ale, with Vienna malt and Bell Captain hops. Strong Rope Brewery 10th Anniversary Golden Ale STYLE: Blonde / Golden Ale – EnglishINGREDIENTS: Vienna Malt and Bell Captain hopsABV: 5.1%IBU: N/AAVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/draft (Limited)Stats above taken from the can/website/Untappd. Appearance Beautiful gold in color with a white, foamy head and light lacing. Aroma Lemon and honey sweetness leads, with some stony minerality coming in later. Taste Toasted breadsticks lead, with lemon/lemon verbena on the mid-palate, with a lovely saline note coming in later. Mouthfeel Lighter in body, crisp, and mouth-coating, with soft carbonation and mouthfeel. Overall Once again, I am happy to see this style being pushed into the ether. Pairing-wise, cheese was the obvious choice, but chicken satay or a bean dip might also be interesting. Cheers and remember: Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.

Care of @scotchfullyyours, Dan ends the night with a Beer Tree Brew Lunar Guidance, an often not produced baltic porter. Beer Tree Brew Lunar Guidance STYLE: Baltic PorterABV: 8.5%IBU: N/AAVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/draft (Limited)Stats above taken from the can/website/Untappd. Appearance Super, deep, dark brown with a tan/light brown, large-bubbled head. Aroma Caramel leads, followed by a vinous and dark fruit note, and then molasses. Taste Dark fruit, dried dates/figs, molasses, and a roasty element behind all of it. This develops with complexity as it warms up. Mouthfeel Medium to strong body with soft carbonation and a supple mouthfeel. Overall I see baltic porters even more rarely than standard or robust porters. This was an amazing nightcap, but beef stew, braised ribs, and slow cooked meals would sing with this for sure. See Episode #394: Lily’s Elixir or the official website for more information on Baltic Porter Day.

Care of @scotchfullyyours, Dan explores a French-style lager from West Kill Brewing: Fur-Bearing Trout, brewed with French ingredients. West Kill Brewing Fur-Bearing Trout STYLE: French-Style LagerINGREDIENTS: French Pilsner malt; French Strisselspalt hops; Lagered in Toasted French Oak.ABV: 5.0%IBU: N/AAVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/draft (Limited)Stats above taken from the can/website/Untappd. Appearance A little chill haze out of the fridge, though boasting a gold-like yellow with a white, foamy head. Aroma Graininess meets a floral hop element. Taste Clean, with a bit of sweetness from the malt, with the floral hop profile continuing into a slate-like minerality. Mouthfeel Refreshing, mostly dry, and crisp, with foamy carbonation and light body. Overall I feel the world of pilsner is spreading out from the OGs of Czech and German, as we have seen Italian and West Coast come up as well. Because of the refreshing element, I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing some more of these on the market. Pairing-wise, I would go lighter with pairings due to the floral and other subtle elements; was feeling Loire-based aged goat cheese (Selles-sur-Cher and the like), a light and rustic sandwich or flatbread would be lovely with scallions or shallots.

Care of @scotchfullyyours, Dan pops an internationally-inspired Dark Lager from Zeroday Brewing and starts dreaming about barbecue. Zeroday Brewing Company Dark Lager STYLE: Dark LagerABV: 5.3%IBU: 21AVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/draft (Limited)Stats above taken from the can/website/Untappd. Appearance Dark brown with a half-inch, foamy, tan head. Aroma Deep, dark caramel/burnt sugar with toasted bread/Maillard reaction notes plus herbal hops. Taste Caramel notes continue along with the toasted bread. Mouthfeel Fairly light on the palate with a medium body, soft carbonation, and fairly dry finish. Overall This was trending more Tmave for me, but totally approachable. Pairing-wise, those Maillard-reaction notes lead me to barbecue, leading towards pulled chicken or pork with some sweet sauce.

Care of @scotchfullyyours, Dan enjoyed a Skibsøl (“ship beer”), a light, smoked ale in the collaboration from West Kill, The Fountain. West Kill Brewing The Fountain STYLE: Historical Beer (Skibsøl)INGREDIENTS: Beechwood-smoked, rye, and chocolate maltABV: 3.8%IBU: N/AAVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/draft (Limited)COLLABORATION: The Fountain, a novel by Casey ScieszkaStats above taken from the can/website/Untappd. Appearance Super dark brown with a fluffy, off-white head. Aroma Blend of ash and smoked meat, remeniscient of rauchbier. Taste Mixture of barbecued meat/Maillard reaction, ash, some spice, and some burning leaves on the retronasal. Mouthfeel Light on the palate, with a smooth carbonation and enveloping mouthfeel. Overall I really have developed a love of these lighter, smoked beer styles, and this (my first), will hopefully not be the last one of these “ship beers”. Pairing-wise, having this with jerky on a ship would make a lot of sense, though onshore, I would say smoked meat, hearty stews/soups, darker brats, and aged cheese.

Appearance Super orange in hue and hazy, with a white, fluffy head and a little lacing on the glass. Aroma Guava hit first, followed by pineapple, peach, and some pear. Taste Guava, followed by some of the other tropical notes from the aroma. Mouthfeel Fairly dry, medium body, with soft carbonation and mouthfeel. Overall Super interesting and tropical-forward for sure. Pairing-wise, I was feeling ceviche would go great as well as fish tacos, poke, or anything to embrace those flavors.

Appearance Beautifully clear, medium yellow in color, with a frothy and foamy white head. Aroma Grapefruit juice/peel hit first, with muted pineapple, and a little white grape. Taste Similar notes to the aroma, with pine and resin mixing in with pineapple juice in the mid-palate and some lemon/lime notes towards the end and finish. Mouthfeel Dry, keeping you coming back for another sip, with zippy carbonation and medium mouthfeel. Overall As of the time of the recording, Daredevil:Born Again is airing, and this is sort of a tie-in to it. Pairing-wise, you can go a lot of different ways with it, but I was feeling Thai chili wings or something with a bit of spice to hold up against the hops notes.

One of a few from West Kill Brewing care of @scotchfullyyours, Dan samples Gone Afield, a wheat beer with orange, chamomile, and coriander.

Appearance Hazy, medium gold/yellow with a white, fluffy head. Aroma Orange hit first, followed by the floral notes from the chamomile before the coriander/spice element lands, with an impression of malt sweetness. Taste Sweet bread/honey bread meets the orange and coriander notes with a subtle floral element. Mouthfeel Refreshing, light and slightly off-dry, with soft, foamy carbonation. Overall It’s great to see wheat beers out and about. Not typically my favorite style, but when they’re well-executed, they are still pretty delightful. Pairing-wise, I would definitely go lighter on flavors, maybe goat or lightly flavored cheeses, flatbreads, or something fresh that can complement the orange, chamomile, and coriander notes.

Care of @scotchfullyyours, Dan opened a Crooked Mouth Brewing Melisandre, an Irish Red Ale, which you don’t see often. Crooked Mouth Brewing Melisandre STYLE: Irish Red AleABV: 5.0%IBU: 26AVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/draftStats above taken from the can/website/Untappd. Appearance Lightly-tinged copper and reddish in hue with a slightly off-white head. Aroma Sweet caramel malt meets the earthy/spicy/floral hop notes. Taste The earthy hop notes hit first, with the sweet malt and caramel element following on the mid-palate. Mouthfeel Smooth carbonation, light, refreshing, and moderately dry. Overall I don’t see Irish Reds around much, but they are flavorful and food-friendly when you might not have other distinct styles you are craving. Pairing-wise, I think general pub fare would be great from wings to Southwest Egg Rolls.

Other Half Brewing Doug STYLE: Coffee StoutINGREDIENTS: Ninth Street Espresso Alphabet City Roast; Rahr 2-row, Flaked Oats, Weyermann Munich Type 1, Weyermann CaraFoam, Simpsons Brown Malt, Simpsons Crystal Dark, Weyermann Chocolate Rye, Weyermann Carafa III Special; German Herkules hopsABV: 6.0%AVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans (Limited)Stats above taken from the bottle/website. Appearance Super dark brown with a light tan head and large bubble carbonation. Aroma Medium coffee roast leads, with a blend of milk and dark chocolate and impression of creaminess. Taste Freshly roasted coffee again starts with dark chocolate and dark caramel blending together with slight roast bitterness. Mouthfeel Medium-to-full body, smooth and creamy with soft carbonation. Overall I love coffee stouts, and I will almost always drink or buy one as long as they are lactose-free. This also can introduce roasters new to you, which is also neat since they also deal in fermentation. Pairing-wise, coffee-based or creamy desserts like cheesecake, but it would be interesting to try it with roasted meat or braised roast beef. Cheers and remember: Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.

Dan snagged Other Half Brewing’s Doug, a Cascadian Dark Ale (AKA Black IPA) off the shelf for a taste of nostalgia. Other Half Brewing Doug STYLE: Black IPA / Cascadian Dark AleINGREDIENTS: Maris Otter malt; Simcoe, Centennial, Chinook, and Columbus Cryo hopsABV: 7.2%AVAILABILITY: 16 oz cans/Draft (Limited)Stats above taken from the bottle/website. Appearance Super dark brown with a light tan, foamy, and large-bubbled head. Aroma Pine/resin hop notes right off the bat with a mix of coffee roast and a sweet almost molasses-like element. Taste Hop and roast bitterness lead, with some medium-to-dark roast coffee, and a hint of residual malt sweetness, and a cola note in the mid-palate. Mouthfeel Supple and soft, with the foamy carbonation adding to that with an off-dry finish. Overall I will almost always taste or buy a Black IPA, as they tend to bring a bit of the nostalgia play to my palate. This one is an excellent entry, and doesn’t finish bone dry like many of yesteryear. Pairing-wise, anything with meat or chicken would be great, with chicken mole hitting my mind first, though anything with fat or spice that the hop bitterness can cut through or that the malt could complement would work.

The final bottle from the New York State Cider Festival haul, Dan toasts with a Pet Nat dry one, String Theory, from South Hill Cider. South Hill Cider String Theory STYLE: Cider – Dry (Pet Nat)ABV: 7.1%RS: 2.6%AVAILABILITY: 750ml bottles (Limited)Stats above taken from the bottle/website. Appearance Slightly hazy but translucent and orange/gold in color with tight, ascending bubbles. Aroma Herbal note leads with an impression of tart fruit and a hint of honey. Taste Honey hits first, with peach following and finishes off-dry. Mouthfeel Fairly light on the palate, mouthcoating and with mild carbonation. Overall This was a fun one to close out the haul with for sure. I definitely would recommend to a natural cider or wine enthusiast. Pairing-wise, I would go with some lighter flatbread preparations, mild to medium-strength cheeses, and perhaps sabayon or other related desserts Cheers and remember: Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.

The eleventh of many from the New York State Cider Festival haul, Dan tastes Autumn’s Gold 2024 from Eve’s Cidery. Eve’s Cidery Autumn’s Gold 2024 STYLE: Cider – Traditional / ApfelweinABV: 8.2%AVAILABILITY: 750ml bottles (Limited)Stats above taken from the brewery’s bottle. Appearance Beautiful medium to dark gold with a very effervescent, white head. Aroma Earthy and herbal notes from the European varietals lead, with a pleasant acidity impression blended with floral and oaky notes. Taste Bright, with some acidity in the third quarter with fruit elements, a hint of skin contact and a granite/slate minerality. Mouthfeel Very effervescent, large bubble carbonation with a medium body/mouthfeel. Overall I think this is a great cider to introduce people who have had the major producers but want to start to dip their toes in craft cider. When cidermakers can grow their own, it really envelops the terroir of that orchard. Pairing-wise, this is great for an autumn or winter meal with poultry/fowl or lighter meats, cheese, or a berry-based dessert. Cheers and remember: Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
