The League of Partygoers & Elegant People Preview Tasting
It's our second preview tasting of the year and our first ever at the Fortress of Raditude. For the uninitiated, these preview tastings are an opportunity to sample some of the upcoming beers, chat with us about whatever's on your mind, and enjoy one another's exceedingly good company. We advise bringing your Lager Logger that was included in your Initial League Package so you can jot down your sensory notes while you taste.
NOTE: As mentioned above, this is our first preview tasting at the Fortress of Raditude which is located at 3612 Kurtz Street. (A short walk from the Lomaland Fermentorium)
Tickets to the tasting are $10 (plus tax & BPT fee). Here's what you'll be sampling:
HAUNTED STARS AGED IN RYE WHISKEY BARRELS W/ COCOA & VANILLA
Haunted Stars is a rye imperial porter rocking a chewy, chocolaty, spicy malt character that coats the mouth and warms the cockles. It starts off rich and full-bodied, with a velveteen texture and creamy dark chocolate flavor, and finishes with a lingering rye spiciness and pleasing earthiness. We aged this batch in spicy, gloriously fragrant rye whiskey barrels with vanilla and cocoa nibs, yielding a swirling maelstrom of delicious complexity thats going to light up your pleasure synapses like a thousand-watt Lite Brite.
ABV: 9%
NAUTILUS HARBOUR
For Nautilus Harbour, we set aside a few barrels of our white wine barrel-aged sour saison and stuffed each one with 50 pounds of local, heirloom plums. After months of mingling in the barrel, the resulting beer is a powerful & complex fruited sour beer with loads of plum aroma and flavor. Fermentation begins with our house Lomaland yeast culture and is then followed with a secondary fermentation by an alarmingly diverse array of sour & funky cultures.
ABV: 6.7%
FUNKY FRUITLANDS W/ APRICOT
Fruitlands has now firmly established itself within our lineup as both a bastion of unparalleled crushability and as a beer that lends itself extremely graciously to experimentation, hence this little gem. We upgraded this latest iteration of our beloved fruited gose to a penthouse suite in Flavor Tower by fermenting the kettle-soured wort with our house Brett strains and dialing the apricot addition up to 11. The resulting beer is a rollicking cascade of funky, fruity refreshment that rolls down the taste buds like your own personal second-line parade.
ABV: 6.2%
RAMPART JUNCTION
For Rampart Junction, we added a hefty helping of fresh peaches to a blend of our red wine barrel-aged dark sour beers. Fermentation began with our house Lomaland yeast culture, but the robust sourness and heavy funk is the result of a secondary mixed fermentation featuring a plethora of Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, and Brettanomyces strains. The resulting beer is powerfully fruity, incredibly complex, and bursting with peach flavor and aroma. This massively righteous beer took well over a year to make, and it will continue to age beautifully in the bottle for years to come.
ABV: 7.4%
**The following beers will not be available at the tasting, but will be available at the BPT sale:
MONSTERS' PARK AGED IN BARBADOS RUM BARRELS W/ COCONUT & VANILLA
This is Monsters Park, our hulking, cantankerous imperial stout, aged in fragrant, fruityBarbadosrum barrels with coconut and vanilla beans. Coconut leaps immediately from the glass before landing gently on a field of tropical fruit and spicy vanilla evocative of a rich, rum cocktail, followed by a gloriously protracted, island-time finish. This epicurean odyssey of tropical flavors is best undertaken at about 50 degrees.
ABV: 13%
MONSTERS' PARK AGED IN NICARAGUAN RUM BARRELS W/ CHERRY & VANILLA
This is Monsters Park, our hulking, cantankerous imperial stout, aged in fragrant, oaky Nicaraguan rum barrels with cherry & vanilla. The barrel character is immediately evident on the nose & only grows more intense in the flavor. The addition of cherries plays perfectly into the flavors & aromas of dark fruit already present in this beer, & its bold vanilla notes are beautifully tempered by undertones of spicy oak & rich mahogany. Its an intensely elegant flavor experience that shines its brightest at around 50 degrees.
ABV: 15.8%
DINOSAUR WORLD
Our 1st-ever hazy DIPA is a thunderous avalanche of hop-sorcery thats going to crash into your taste buds like a 100-megaton payload of pure pleasure. Boatloads of Citra, Amarillo, and Mosaic hops and fermentation with London III yeast came together to make this beer a tropical marvel, with outrageously tasty notes of passion fruit, tangerine, and stone fruit that will ensare both your palate and your heart.
ABV: 8%
