Big nights call for strong beers. here they are!
During a typical night out to a brewery, many drinkers might consider an 8 to 10 percent ABV beer strong. Perhaps a special bottle of even stronger beer will be available to go, one closer to 12 or even 15 percent ABV. But there are offerings beyond this level, made by a select few dedicated producers, for a growing number of passionate drinkers eager to dive into the complexity of such monster beers.
Brewing these gargantuan beers takes a lot of finesse and patience. It’s not simply about fermenting a lot of sugars and ending up at a very high level of alcohol. “The alcohol is gentle on the palate,” says Burns. The result isn’t always what the brewers had in mind, either. “We’ve had several experiences where we thought a beer [would taste one way] but it didn’t. And it’s perfect; it’s just not what we originally thought it would be,” says Worley.
River North focuses a lot on the production side of brewing, so the open-endedness of some of these larger beers can wreak havoc on the sales schedule. “I get asked for a release calendar,” says Matt Sauerwein, the brewery's sales director. “But it doesn’t mean it’s going to be right, so then it’s an exercise in futility at that point.” Sauerwein also sees the importance of a beer like this being done right rather than on a set schedule.
“I believe in a lot of intentionality when you plan these brews, but you get to a point where you’re tasting a specific barrel and it just tastes awesome and it’s ready,” says Meyer. Although he is an Advanced Cicerone, Meyer places a lot of importance on collaboration when choosing which barrels to blend into the final batches. “I always like to taste [barrels] with other people. You need people that can taste different things and have other opinions.
