Paul is our fourth entry into the Outlaw Contest. As you can see from the picture he is pretty strong but that doesn’t mean the beer will be too strong. Balance is key as he decided to go with a lapsang souchong infused irish red ale with a touch of fennel. Easy to overdo the flavors but this is still easy to palate. Reminds him of some sausage with the smokey nose and spices in the finish but not overpowering. A smooth smokey brew for an end of winter prelude into spring. Come try out Paul’s beer as it will be tapped at noon Thursday, 3/8/2012 and available until it’s gone!

Here is Cathy, the third entry into the Outlaw Contest. She settled on a simple beer…ok not really. This is a daring beer filled with tons of flavor and adventure. This is a bourbon soaked coffee vanilla porter she has deemed worthy of the name “Toddy Porter” after the cold brew system that brewed the coffee. The cold brew lets the beer finish smooth and with less astringency and acidity, letting the other flavors come through on a higher level. At $6 per pint, it will be more of a challenge to kick fast, but she’s not scared. Cathy is going for the win! Tapping at noon Thursday, 3/01/12 and available until it’s gone.
