Wedding Beer
As Jonathan has already ranted on my “unsanctioned” beer I figured I might as well share the full story. My younger sister Martha was getting married this past weekend and since her husband-to-be was the creator of the official MNB tap I figured it only appropriate we do a custom beer to celebrate the occasion.
The beer we settled on was a modified version of our yet-named Belgian Wit. I actually added back the coriander and fresh orange zest from the original Weiss Guy recipe. For an added twist I added some fresh ginger at the end of the boil (inspired by the Allagash Fluxus I had in Portland last month). The result was a spectacular beer that won the hearts and taste buds of all who attended (that were legally of age and tasted it). Even my grandmother who hates beer partook in quite a few herself.
We dubbed it the Equally Yoked Heifer-Weizen. The quote is especially dynamite on this one too. If you can’t make it out it reads:
Who was the first guy that looked at a cow and said “I think I’ll drink whatever comes out of those things when I squeeze them?”
Yes. Something we’ve all wondered at one time or another I’m sure.
Oh lord! Who was the genius that decided wedding and cow would go hand in hand?
Hopefully this was a bachelor party beer. :-D
