It’s International Stout Day. I kid you not.

I’ll be celebrating later - spot of lunch first.

We’re raising a glass today to International Stout Day, a global holiday that has fallen on the first Thursday of November since its founding by beer writer and blogger Erin Peters in 2011.

This ca. 1945 (1935-1953) revenue stamp from Utah isn’t for a stout. But we don’t think International 3.2% Military Beer Day is rolling around anytime soon, so we’re letting it have a little moment today.

This item is from Hagley Library’s collection of Carter Litchfield photographs and ephemera on the history of fatty materials (Accession 2007.227).  As an organic chemist, Carter Litchfield (1932-2007) studied and specialized in edible fats.  Over the course of his career, Litchfield built an important collection about the history of fats and fatty materials.

This collection has not been digitized in its entirety. The online collection is a curated selection of items and primarily includes paper ephemera such as ration stamps, tax stamps, trade cards, pamphlets, and trade catalogs.

Smartmouth Beer Release

 Velvet Glove Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout

The sister beer to Iron Fist that debuted last February, will be released.  Aged in Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey barrels from Bulleit Distilling Company from Lawrenceburg, KY, Velvet Glove is a force to be reckoned with. This big beer boasts loads of heavily roasted malts that rival assertive hops. Delicate hints of bourbon, chocolate and stone fruit surface behind its colossal flavor. ABV:8.5%  IBU:90

Bulleit Distilling Company will be in the Tasting Room on Thursday to help celebrate the release of Velvet Glove.  Come visit and chat with their team and maybe pick up a few swag goodies (sadly the ABC won't let them hand out Bourbon samples.)
