BlackStack Late to the Party Fest Bier.
6% ABV, BlackStack Brewing, St. Paul, Minnesota.
When this came out in September, I mentioned to the brewery rep that it was not that late at all. It is compared to everyone else, he said. So, naturally, I sat on it until December. Makes sense.
Clear, bright golden hue, short white head.
In the nose: malty, sweet, lightly floral. Classic German lager aromatics.
In the mouth: bright, malty, and quite delicious. Excellent drinkability. Light bodied, moderately hopped. Fits the festbier profile perfectly.
I still like Märzens best, but there’s nothing like a good ol’ festbier. Cheers to Ludwig & Theresa! (Better late than never!)
More like Awk-toberfest, amirite? We actually quite enjoy drinking these types of beers into the fall, so we figured we'd release it in the first week of October... so like 2-4 months after most folks. We brewed this beer with Weyermann Malt & spunded for natural carbonation as an homage to the endlessly gulpable biers you'll find at the tents in Munich during Oktoberfest festivities. Where is everyone going? We just got here.
