Beer Name: Merry-Go-Round
Style: Single Hop Grisette
ABV: 4.9%
Color: Flaxen
Cheese Pairing: Midnight Moon
Food Pairing: Funnel cake (hold the powdered sugar, please)
Music Pairing (Jimbo's Choice): "Indian Drum Zone Killer" by Tandy Love
Music Pairing (Jared's Choice): "Calypso" by Fiend Without a Face
Best Occasion to Drink: While taking a breather from strolling aimlessly about
Brewers' Notes: Drinking a good beer is a lot like riding a merry-go-round: there's lots of spinning around, haunting music starts playing from nowhere in particular, there are some lions... ok fine, maybe they're not that similar after all. The truth of the matter is that we got a bunch of a new-to-us hop that sounds hella delicious (tasting notes include pineapple, pear, watermelon, and candy), only it's got a pretty unfortunate name ("Bitter Gold") so we figured we'd cram that hop into a nice, easygoing grisette and then name it after something fun and now here we are! And so are the lions.
