STOUT MONTH
MOUNTAIN SUN PUB & BREWERY WILL HOLD ITS 15th ANNUAL STOUT MONTH STARTING FEBRUARY 1ST, 2008.
Now in its fifteenth year, Stout Month has become a most anticipated event among local beer connoisseurs. Ten of Mountain Sun's taps will fade to black with local, regional and national versions of the rich, thick and dark ale.
Featured Stouts include nitrogen poured Belgian Dip Chocolate Stout and Korova Cream Stout. For the second year in a row, our Old School Irish Stout will also make an appearance on Nitro. On CO2, Mountain Sun will be offering perennial favorite Yonder Mountain Stout and the good ol’ classic Thunder Head Stout. Once again we will brew a batch of Cherry Dip Stout (Chocolate Stout with Sweet Cherry Puree). This decadent elixir should arrive just in time for Valentine’s Day. We also found out what happens when you load a stout full of hops. The answer is “Trickster Stout.†Ultimately, Usurper Imperial Stout is sure to overwhelm your palate.
For the second year in a row, Mountain Sun has hosted its ever-popular Stout Homebrew Competition. Our panel of brewers has chosen one lucky homebrewer to assist in brewing their own winning recipe on Mountain Sun’s 6-barrel system. Local homebrewer Brady Smith took the honors this year with his Ladies’ Man Stout. Featuring rose pedals, honey, cognac, and dark chocolate. This one is sure to be a crowd pleaser! This complex and quaffable brew will be available beginning the first of February. Both of last year’s homebrew winners were a real hit, so look for the reappearance of Coconut Cream Stout and Stoaked Oak Stout.
As usual, Mt Sun rounds up a wide variety of local and national guest stouts to compliment the house brewed ales. Guest stouts are still being finalized; this years line up is likely to include: Stone Imperial Stout (San Marcos, CA). Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout from Anderson Valley (Boonville, CA), Twisted Pine’s Big Daddy Espresso Stout (Boulder, CO), Dog Fish Head’s Chicory Stout (Milton, DE), Several vintages of Avery Czar Imperial Stout, Deschutes Obsidian Stout poured on nitrogen and Great Divide’s Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout (Denver CO).
All the way from England, Young’s, Double Chocolate Stout will be tapped for the fifth year in a row.
This is a once a year opportunity to try some of the regions best stouts, side by side and on tap. The fun begins on Friday, February 1st, at the Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery, 1535 Pearl Street and continues as long as supplies last.
