The Weakling Belgian Tripel Release Party w/Pine Travelers next Friday 9/9!

Happy Labor Day weekend all,

A week from today we’re releasing THE WEAKLING Belgian Trappist Tripel! The Weakling will be on tap when we open at 3pm and at 7:30 the Pine Travelers will provide original music that combines the gritty Americana of outlaw country, folk, and bluegrass with old school funk rave-ups and roots rock & roll.

I can report that The Weakling is turning out quite well and is finishing out at 9% abv. I’m really looking forward to tasting the finished product next Friday! The back story for The Weakling is we use Wyeast Labs’ seasonal release Canadian/Belgian yeast strain, which originally comes from Unibroue in Chambly, Quebec. This is a dynamite choice for the Tripel style that showcases the malt profile along with appropriate light fruit esters (e.g. lemons and oranges) and some of its own spicy character. Also expect good balancing hop bitterness along with a bit of Saaz noble hop flavor and aroma.

In other Belgian beer news for us soon we’re going to start barrel-aging the next batch of Brookie’s Sour Brown Oud Bruin in two oak barrels. More details later!

Hope to see  you for The Weakling release next Friday (if not before),

Jim
