The way of the Weird Beard
Having been out of our deliveries since April, we thought last Friday's delivery would be perfect for Weird Beard Brew Co.'s re-introduction into our boxes of beer-y goodness. Award-winning, ahead of the curve and one of London's most innovative brewers, Weird Beard are built on having "no gimmicks, no crap and [being] never knowingly under-hopped", which makes them the perfect match for DeskBeers. In the box, we put a 7.2% American IPA - Five o'clock Shadow - and a lighter (in comparison, anyway) 5.3% Transpacific Pale Ale, lovingly named Mariana Trench.
BEER NEWS
Craft 100 have started showing off (and rightly so) with their fantastic beer list for their event in Clapham. What do you make of it? Elsewhere, BBC have jumped on the craft beer bandwagon by looking into why canned brews have had a rebirth and how they may be the best thing for beers since, well, DeskBeers.
In other news, some eyebrow-raising brewing techniques dropped into our inbox this week. Paleo Quest - a nonprofit in USA - partnered with Lost Rhino Brewing Company to start swabbing old bones for beer-making cells and - as a result - pioneered Bone Dusters Paleo Amber Ale. Similarly, Oz's Doctor's Orders Brewing have started brewing Cephalopod, a batch of Berliner Weisse made with Squid Ink with a questionable colouring of "grey to turquoise". We're not here to judge!
Have a great week,
Team DeskBeers
