Beer Name: The Joybringer
Style: Belgian Tripel
ABV: 8.6%
IBU: 32
Color: Egg Yolk
Cheese Pairing: Coupole
Food Pairing: Margherita pizza or grilled haddock
Music Pairing (Jimbo's Choice): "Music and Friends" by Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band
Music Pairing (Jared's Choice): "Seven X's" by the Weisstronauts
Best Occasion to Drink: At the BeerAdvocate Microbrew Invitational!
Brewers' Notes: Inspired by yet another name that we borrowed from Jeff Alworth (who graciously pointed out that the Goddess Ninkasi was the true progenitor of these beer names we're smouchin'), we made this beer to bring joy into your life! Or, more accurately, we made this beer because BeerAdvocate told us we needed to bring something special to their festival. But that's basically the same thing, right?
And as luck would have it, the brewday for this here beer fell right near our one-year brewing anniversary, so it's doin' double duty as our anniversary ale! We've got a soft spot for tripels around here (among other things, it's the style that sparked Jared's interest in beer), and it's a style we've been foolishly neglecting, so it only made sense to make it A Thing and brew one up to celebrate a year of beer! Cheers!
