Beer of the Week! 11/23/21

Väsen Aegir

Regularly $17.99 / Now on Sale for $16.96
New England Style IPA

Väsen’s Aegir is named after Ægir, an old Norse giant and a personification of the sea. In fact, his name translates to “Sea.” So Ægir is “Sea, the sea giant” — pretty straight forward.

Apparently, along with being married to another sea personifier and having a bunch of daughters, Sea also brews … like, a lot. In fact, he’s known for hosting banquets for the Æsir. So when they’re done fighting frost giants (and thus laying down the basis for the Marvel Universe), the gods pick up and go party with the sea giant. Nice to know they don’t have a strict “No-Giant” policy.

Väsen’s Aegir benefits from their use of Norwegian farmhouse kviek yeast, giving their IPAs a delicate complexity. Add in their mix of Mosaic, Vic Secret, and Sabro hops, and you’re in for a fruity, hazy treat!

But that’s just us — we still like NEIPAs, and we still love the way Väsen does them.

Bonus Beer of the Week (‘Cause who has just one beer at Thanksgiving?)

Three Notch’d Biggie S’mores Imperial Stout

Regularly $14.99 / Now on Sale for $13.96
Imperial Chocolate Milk Stout with Marshmallows and Graham Crackers

For many people, the holidays mean coming home, and what can be more homey and familiar in our dear beer town than Three Notch’d Brewing Company kicking out their yearly batch of the Biggie S’mores?

In case you just moved here, the Biggie S’mores is an imperial Stout that is inspired by the campfire treat that has warmed generations of outdoor hearts. To get you there, Three Notch’d starts by brewing the Biggie with lactose to give it an extra edge of sweetness. It then throws in chocolate, marshmallows, and 80 pounds of Graham Crackers. That’s right. They make a s’more! They make a s’more in your glass!

We don’t know what Three Notch’d says, but we think of this rich, creamy, chocolatey brew as their signature beer. (By the way, we also have the bourbon barrel-aged version!!)

Remember!
