As a law student on both a budget and a diet, I decided to indulge once a week in my love for craft beer. The result was a weekly ritual involving an in depth look into the specific beer I chose. The following are my picks for The Beer of The Week. I urge you to go out and support craft beer, both locally, nationally, and internationally. Most importantly, find that time during the week to sit, relax, and indulge! Cheers!
Beer of the Week 78 - 7/20/2011: Cantillon Iris (Vintage 2007)
A really unique offering from the absolute best lambic and gueuze producer in the world - in my opinion. This one is different from a regular lambic, which is 100% dry hopped. Iris has 50% dry hops added and 50% fresh hops added giving it a much hoppier taste and aroma than it’s lambic counterparts. It is aged for two years in oak barrels undergoing spontaneous fermentation - check out the process online…its pretty cool and extremely authentic.
