2016 marks the third year in a row Central City and Parallel 49 are collaborating on a December Advent Calendar, the Seasons Greetings 24-Pack. It’ll also mark the third year in a row I try to cover it.
It’s pretty hot out there right now. So hot, it kinda blows my mind. Where I’m from, there’s still snow on the ground. But Central City must have known this was coming, because they just unleashed a new pair of Radlers on the world.
I recently (OK, maybe not that recently) had the opportunity to attend a release event for a new beer from Central City - Sour Brown I Barrel Aged Sour Ale - the first in what will become an expansive Sour program, including upcoming Sour Red, Kreik, and Framboise releases. I’m a pretty big fan of sours, so I approached this release with no small amount of expectation.
Here's our beer bread recipe using stout and brown sugar for a more complex flavour. It's great to go with soft cheese and fruit preserve. We had it with some fig goat cheese and it was delicious!
This year Parallel 49 and Central City have stepped up to the plate in a big way with its new Craft Crossing Calendar. As of this post, we’re halfway through the calendar. So I thought I would give a quick rundown of the beers and my general impressions, with a focus on the uniques.
