The League of Partygoers & Elegant People Preview Tasting
Join us on a voyage to the flavorsphere in March's preview tasting 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 and all future preview tastings will be held 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:
MONSTERS' PARK AGED IN SPANISH BRANDY BARRELS
This is Monsters' Park, our hulking, cantankerous imperial stout, aged in Spanish brandy barrels, which begin their life as sherry casks. The fruit-forward barrel character is immediately evident on the nose and only grows more intense in the flavor. Big, thunderous notes of burnt caramel, raisins, & marshmallows add a crazy dimension to this sledgehammer of sabor, combining with the massive roast character of Monsters' Park to create a wildly complex & delicious beer.
ABV: 13.3%
MONSTERS' PARK AGED IN SPANISH BRANDY BARRELS W/ FIG & COCOA
This is Monsters' Park, our hulking, cantankerous imperial stout, aged in Spanish brandy barrels, which begin their life as sherry casks. We loaded this batch with figs and cocoa nibs, which combine with the fruit-forward character of the barrels in a miraculous fireworks display of delicious complexity, pushing the massive, roast character of Monsters Park into a hitherto unexplored frontier of comestible pleasure. Let this beer warm up to 50 degrees before you drink it. Seriouslyyoull thank us.
ABV: 13.3%
PALACE OF CRACKED HEADS
For Palace of Cracked Heads, we loaded over two pounds per barrel of local, heirloom nectarines into our red wine barrel-aged Oud Bruin. After months of mingling in the barrel, the resulting beer is a powerfully fruity sour with loads of nectarine flavor & aroma. Fermentation began with our house Lomaland yeast culture, but the robust sourness is the result of a secondary mixed fermentation of lactobacillus and pediococcus. Several different strains of brettanomyces add a funky, earthy wildness to this very flavorful sour. An intensely delicious, complex beer, Palace of Cracked Heads took well over a year to make.
ABV: 8.1%
PROMETHEUS EFFECT
The magnificent beverage you now see before you has one foot in modern experimentation and another in the ancient world. We let a portion of this lovely, blended saison age for two months in an amphora, a type of large clay vessel used for winemaking since the Neolithic Age and recently popular with an adventurous cadre of natural winemakers. It was then blended with its red wine barrel-aged counterpart, resulting in a complex-yet-insanely-drinkable marvel, with plenty of farmhouse funk, light citrus acidity, and an extremely pleasant minerality from the time spent in its clay housing. Its a delightful marriage of progress and history that we think youre really going to enjoy putting in your face.
ABV: 6.3%
ASTEROID COWBOY
This triumphantly unique hoppy sour was kettle-soured and loaded with Horizon, Citra, and Mosaic hops before 100% Brett fermentation and a luxurious dry-hopping with the aforementioned lineup of lupulin bombs. The resulting beverage is an exhilarating journey of tart, tropical complexity that is intriguing, quenching, and outrageously delicious. Pour some into a tulip glass, relax your mind, and prepare to be delivered into a dimension of unrestrained pleasure.
ABV: 7.2%
**The following beer will not be available at the tasting, but will be available at the BPT sale:
EFFECTIVE DREAMS
This staggering work of haze-tastic juice magic is the result of our collaboration with the homies at Great Notion Brewing in Portland. Packed with Citra, Mosaic, Southern Passion, and Experimental 9326 hops and fermented with London III yeast, its a bewitching confluence of tropical, citrus, & stone fruit flavors and aromas that will make you extremely glad that it came in a 4-pack.
ABV: 7.2%
