Doh! It’s nearly Labor Day. This summer (and beer) was never in jeopardy of becoming an Endless Summer by any stretch. Time ripped by and the tap handle on the keg didn’t move an inch. What started as a (potentially) great summer ale is now an old, dusty keg that we can drink for Oktoberfest if we run out of other stuff.
Without further ado:
6 SRM, 8 IBU, and 5.4% ABV
Alas, it’s still beer right? I’ll take two please.
Phew! Just in time. Out of secondary and into the keg she goes.
Hopefully by the next time I’m back in town, this stuff will be cold and ready to drink!
In an attempt to take advantage of a break in the action (my busy schedule), I made a leap and whipped up a version of an American Lager mixed with a Cream Ale. Hopefully I’ll be around to keg it and enjoy it…
The goal was something outside the standard beer types sitting around the house. Something light. Something cold. And something that could be enjoyed (en masse) on a hot summer day.
