Modern Monks

St. Meinrads, the next in the Guest Brewer series, is a wonderfully fruity, malty Belgian Dark Strong beer.

The Monks teamed up with fellow brewer and AHA Home Brewer of the year award winner John Fahrer to create this special elixir.  Named after St. Meinrad the patron saint of hospitality this beer is sustenace for guests and friends and is nourishment for the soul.

The Gospel of Brother Dave describes this beer as “a melody of complex malt flavors, hinting at nectarines.  A lightly spicy hop flavor sneaks just under the radar as the subtle warming of the palate takes over hinting at dangerous delights ahead.  The more one ponders this beer while sipping the more the Forbidden Ale evolves.  This is definitely a beer to cellar.”

As a side note there is a special bottling of the St. Meinrads that is aging in a cellar until this fall when it will be released to select vendors around Lincoln.  Keep an eye open for that in the future.

 You can find this beer on tap at the following locations soon:

Chicken Coop- Grand Island

Thunderhead- Kearney

Bread and Cup- Lincoln

Brick top- Lincoln

Cresent Moon- Omaha

Yesterday was a busy day indeed for the Monks.   The door to the walk in cooler was attached thus completeing the construction of the beer cave, the St. Meinrads Qaudrupel was kegged, and then they found time to brew a Tripel.  Mainly pilsner malt with some aromatic tossed in and some beet sugar make up this delicious ale.  Unfortunately brother Josh forgot the camera so no documentation of the photo variety is avaliable to post.

Stay tuned for in the coming weeks the Monks will be releasing information on the release party for the St. Meinrads Quadrupel.
