cask We tap a new cask every Thursday at 5:55 PM.

This week (5/3) our cask is Echo St. IPA. Big hops.

Beer

BR-549 Pale Ale

An American Pale Ale - but brewed exclusively with British barley.

It is copper in color and has a nice sweetness from the malted barley. A citrusy aroma comes from the American whole leaf hops added in bags sitting right inside the serving tank (called ‘dry hopping’).

Oh, where does the name come from? It was Junior Samples’ phone number from the ol’ Hee Haw show.
(Junior used to live in these parts actually.) And I really, really like Hee Haw.

Flying Monkeys (Vliegende Aapen) Golden Ale

This is a Belgian-style Golden Ale. It has a pale gold color, is soft on the palette and has an intriguing spiciness imparted by the Belgian yeast. It is unfiltered and, therefore, cloudy in appearance. (Don’t panic, that is just yeast – which is mainly vitamin B – and we don’t charge extra for it.)

If the flying monkeys scene scared you in the Wizard of Oz this beer will calm your nerves.
And bonus points if you order this beer in the Flemish.

Black Beauty

Black Beauty is a big Belgian Dubbel - but brewed with rye.

It is velvety smooth, chocolatey, has undertones of toffee and rum, and finishes with a dry, spiciness from the rye.

The yeast comes directly from an old Trappist monastery in Belgium and imparts a wonderfully complex character to the beer.

I made Chef Dave make me our own traditional dark Belgian candi sugar to add to the complexity.
This beer was inspired by the music of Miles Davis. I actually placed speakers right by the fermentation tank and "serenaded" the yeast with Miles' music while it fermented the beer. Outta sight, man!

Plan B IPA

Warning: This beer is hoppy.
It has 10 different hops and over 3 pounds of hops per barrel! It has a big citrus aroma and is unfiltered, and therefore cloudy, to keep all the hop goodness in there. A deep garnet-red comes from the British crystal malt.

My parents always wanted me to have a plan B in case the brewing career didn’t work out. So here is my Plan B, Mom and Dad.

ESB

ESBs are a traditional English style of beer and typically have a nice balance of flavor and are very drinkable. Both malt and hops are on equal footing. We uses British floor malted Maris Otter barley and add English hops for an earthy, flowery flavor - and a touch of American hops for a slight citrus note.

Chef David Larkworthy

"By volume, David Larkworthy uses more locally grown produce than any other chef in Atlanta. As chef and co-owner of the 5 Seasons Brewing Company, Larkworthy is a bit of an anomaly. His high-volume restaurant serves up to 1,000 people a day, and his food is affordable and accessible. Yet Larkworthy cares just as much as the city's fine-dining chefs about ingredients and quality, and the survival of local farmers." - Creative Loafing
