Beer of the Week! 08/14/23
Southern Grist Summer Crisp
Normally $12.99 / Now on Sale for $11.96
Unfiltered Pilsner with Limes and Sea Salt
The summer is not over, so there’s still time for yet another summer-styled brew! Enter our second Pilsner from Nashville’s Southern Grist Brewing Company. However, this one takes some steps away from the Pilsner’s traditional path.
For the Summer Crisp, Southern Grist starts by making an unfiltered Pilsner, and then it’s as if the wind blew and flipped their recipe book back to the Gose page. (‘Cause people still read recipes from hard copy books, right?) To this Pilsner, Summer Crisp adds sea salt while also adding lime juice and lime peel. The resultant beer is like a Pilsner / Gose hybrid — a “Gosner,” if you will. ;)
So, the lime juice’s tang warms up to the lime peels’ zest; the salt warms up to the lime; and all three warm up the usual clean crispness of the Pilsner. If you like Goses, try this different path to the same garden.
Bonus Beer of the Week (‘Cause good beer is something you should run out for but never run out of.)
Bingo Deep End
Normally $15.99 / Now on Sale for $14.96
New England Style IPA
Is it because Meg 2: The Trench is out in theaters now? Is it because a couple of weeks ago was Shark Week? Are the people at Richmond’s Bingo Brewing Company mad that the Jaws prequel focusing on Quint never got made? We don’t know what went into the name of the Deep End, one of Bingo’s latest juicy and hazy IPAs, but we do know a little about what went into it.
Bingo makes the Deep End with Vic Secret and Citra hops. Vic Secret is an Australian hop introduced in 2013. It’s where you go if you’re looking for pineapple and passionfruit notes mixed with a little pine to brighten things up. So, the Vic Secret is all ready to throw a bunch of fruit your way, but Citra is a mother@$$%#, and cannot be stopped!
While the Vic Secret gives you a gnarly ride on a wave of pineapple notes, the Citra lurks under the surface like a great white, ready to wipe you out with its monstrous citrus bite! However, don’t sit cowering on that buoy, dive right back in and swim to shore! (So sue us. We were fans of The Shallows.)
