Beer Name: Pullover
Style: ESB
ABV: 5.6%
IBU: 36
Color: a glowing golden ochre.
Cheese Pairing: Wegman's-brand cave aged cheese
Food Pairing: Beef stew
Music Pairing (Jimbo's Choice): "Life During Wartime" by the Talking Heads
Music Pairing (Jared's Choice): "Large Hall, Slow Decay" by Hayley Thompson King
Best Occasion to Drink: During a good long Session that starts with card games and eventually devolves into the sort of thing that involves pizza and yelling.
Brewers' Notes: When the good folks over at Valley Malt asked if we wanted to try out one of their cool new specialty malts, we said "heck yes!" and then immediately set to daydreaming about grains for the rest of the day. The grain in question - crystal naked oats - is toasty and nutty and a little sweet and we had to remind ourselves - sev'ral timez - that we had to make a beer with this instead of eating it all straight out of the bag. So! We paired up them oats with some nice 'n' bready malts from our friends at Blue Ox, and thew in a fistful of fruity-as-heck hops (specifically Denali, which you may remember as one of the star players from Cosmic Showers) and holy heck we gon' drink a lotta this, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
