Bottle Logic Brewing's Lineup!

teh dav1d b0w1e Happy weekend beer lovers!

The lineup for our first ever Tuesday Tap Takeover in Anaheim is ready for your viewing pleasure!  What you see here is our tasting session with the guys over at Bottle Logic Brewing.  Chef Andrea prepared some delicious house made syrups and infusions to pair up with Bottle Logic's delicious brown - and so we have collaborated and created...teh dav1d b0w1e (only the best representation of Nikola Tesla *EVER*!).

We had a lot of fun that morning and are looking forward to pouring out a baker's dozen of their electrifying brews including a surprise beer they will be bringing in that afternoon!

Without further ado, the rad beer list for July 8th, 2014 AD:

1. E.M.P – 4.7% ABV | 30 IBU – This brown porter is brewed to showcase the lighter side of dark beers. With a dose of caramel up front and a light roast finish, this porter is sure to satisfy.

2. teh dav1d b0w1e – 5.5% ABV | 22 IBU – A Bottle Logic x The Iron Press collaboration. A delicious brown ale with plenty of espresso beans, chai, and organic maple syrup. Come celebrate this beer with us!!

3. Hanamachi – 5.5% ABV | 10 IBU – Japanese style rice lager, easy drinking and super dry, this beer finishes out at 0 degrees plato!

4. She Shot First – 5.5% ABV | 35 IBU – Their twist on an American Pale Ale, She Shot First, is brewed with generous amounts of malted wheat, and Pacific North West hops. This particular combination produces enormous flavors and aromas of citrus, while still being very sessionable

5. Mother Heifer – 5.5% ABV | 21 IBU – A stout brewed with lactose sugar, caramel malt and oats, resulting in a rich and velvety smooth finish.

6. Prequel: Alpha – 6% ABV | 60 IBU – Distinct hop flavor and bitterness blends with Belgian yeast flavors and a dry finish.

7. Anaheim, California – 6.5% ABV | 30 IBU – Smoked chile aromas. Earthy bitterness with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel.

8. POG Juice – 6.5% ABV | 55 IBU – A tropical IPA with fresh pineapple, orange, and guava juices. This beer should be called OMG Juice, on account of how scrum-diddly-umcious it is.

9. Recursion 2 – 6.5% ABV | 60 IBU – They’ve changed the grain bill up a little bit and are using Meridian and El Dorado hops to bring out big notes of cantaloupe and watermelon. It’s a bright and juicy flavor explosion

10. Leche Mole – 7.0% ABV | 21 IBU – Mocha Mexican Milk Stout brewed with vanilla beans, cocoa nibs, coffee, and Anaheim/Ancho chiles. One of the best Milk Stouts around.

11. Tattered Prince – 7% ABV | 27 IBU – This traditional Saison is brewed with new world ingredients such as Sorachi Ace hops, fresh ground ginger, coriander, orange peel, and then fermented with an authentic French farmhouse yeast. Tattered Prince takes the standard Saison and adds citrus and spice complexity.

12. Double Actuator – 10.0% ABV | 80 IBU – This Double IPA is brewed and generously dry hopped with Mosiac hops. You'll find this ale to have a super floral nose, smooth bitterness, with hints of blueberries, mango, and papaya.

13. Suprise! – ?.?% ABV | ?? IBU – Bottle Logic is going to be bringing you all a special release brew. Stay tuned to find out more. Same beer time, same beer channel.

 

House Made Syrups and Infusions!

We can't wait to see everyone in Anaheim, see you guys soon!

The Menu for Tonight's Tuesday Tap Takeover - The Ninkasi Brewing Edition

Ninkasi x The Iron Press Without further ado, our beer line up with Ninkasi Brewing is up for your viewing pleasure!

1. Lux – 5.0% ABV | 20 IBU – Illuminate your palate with this traditional German-style lager. Brewed with premium pilsner malt and bittered with German Hallertau hops, this Helles lager pours champagne in color. Bright, crisp and satisfying, enliven any occasion with Lux.

2. Multi Head – 5.3% ABV | 38 IBU – A wild hop found in the high plains of New Mexico, Multihead is relatively new to the craft beer community and named based on its tendency to develop two cones per strig. Using a crisp pilsner malt base, this beer profiles the tropical fruit notes and floral overtones of the hop along with citrus tones resembling orange peel.

3. HBC-366 – 5.3% ABV | 38 IBU – Paired with a clean, crisp Pilsner malt aroma upfront, the true nature of HBC 366 gives this beer a fruitful and complex flavor profile of mango, papaya, cherry, spice, citrus and pine.

4. Dry Hopped Pale – 5.3% ABV | 38 IBU – From the creative minds of our brewing collective comes a dry-hopped pale ale, featuring a new hop variety, Equinox. With a complex hop profile of mango, papaya, cherry, spice, citrus and pine, this beer is a unique treat from our brewers for you!

5. Nuptiale – 5.7% ABV | 26 IBU – Inspired by human rituals of love, Nuptiale was first brewed in celebration of a Ninkasi wedding. This beer is a straw-hued cream ale with a rich, creamy mouthfeel and smooth drinkability. A lighter-bodied Ninkasi offering, it is for celebrating the loves in our life and our love of life.

6. Total Domination – 6.7% ABV | 65 IBU – Multiple hops collide in balanced perfection, dominating the senses and achieving total satisfaction. From the Pacific Northwest, birthplace of the modern IPA, comes a beer whose name says it all.

7. Believer – 6.9% ABV | 60 IBU – Brewed and dedicated to the believers of Ninkasi. Believer Double Red Ale offers a rich, dark malt complexity balanced by a plentiful hop presence, bringing together perfection in every sip. Who knew believing had so many rewards?

8. Oatis – 7.2% ABV | 50 IBU – A rich, complex oatmeal stout with just enough hops to balance the copious quantities of dark roasted malts and the addition of oatmeal for a creamy smooth drinkability.

9. Sleigh'r – 7.2% ABV | 50 IBU – A delicious Northwest seasonal brewed with winter in mind. A dark double alt, malty, and delicious, it’s sure to keep the winter at bay. And yes, Sleigh’r does rock!

10. Tricerahops – 8.0% ABV | 100 IBU – Tricerahops is double everything you already love in an IPA. More hops, more malt body and a higher gravity define this Double India Pale Ale. Fiercely flavorful, guaranteed to satisfy.

11. Wheat Wine – 9.0% ABV | 80 IBU – A wheat wine is a barley wine strength beer that is made with a large amount of wheat in its grist. Wheat wines are typically smoother than their barley wine cousins with the wheat exhibiting toasted, bready, and bock-like malty richness. The Falconer’s Flight hops used for bittering are balanced with the earthy and grassy Willamette and Brewer’s Gold hops. Elegant, full-bodied maltiness with a balanced finish, this is a big beer with a little bite!

12. Imperiale – 9.1% ABV | 70 IBU – Rich, full bodied and surprisingly smooth, Imperiale Stout has a big roast hit up front. Dark malt flavors are balanced with an ample hop bitterness to finish.

That's not iiiiittttt!  Along with amazing brews we will be pouring for everyone tonight, tonight is the debut special menu from our very own Markuz and Francisco. Here is what our little dynamic duo has conjured up:

1. BBQ Chicken Pizza - Pizza topped with BBQ sauce made from Ninkasi’s Imperiale, gruyere cheese, grilled chicken, diced red onions, arugula + tomatoes. - $9

2. Fried Wookie - Cookie dough made in house, then battered and fried, paired with vanilla ice cream, macadamian nuts + chocolate drizzle. - $8

As usual, DJ LexaKhan will be killing it with the jams. We hope to see you there!
