Sour Sandy:
The Sunday before Sandy made landfall in our town we were playing around, on the tippy, with a soured version of Carton of Milk Stout. We mashed, ran off, and left it for a 2 day lactic rest, intending to boil it on the Tuesday morning Sandy came crashing into our lives.
As it went, the brewery ended up without power with an average temperature of 40 degrees. When we got back in and got power we decided to go ahead and boil, the now 7 day soured wort, and see what happened. 3 yeast pitches later we have 2 sixtels of a pretty cool, never reproducible 5% sour milk stout.
In order to put this to some good we are going to bring them to The Chubby Pickle (23 Bay Ave Highlands 07732) On Thursday December 27th we will tap them at 7PM for a special night where the team from Twin Light Taphouse will be guest tending. If you know us, you probably know TLT and miss them like we do. Come out, try the rarest of beers, and tip heavily, these guys are still months from getting back to work.
