Beer Name: The Hourglass
Style: Tripel
ABV: 8%
Color: Deep gold, bordering on orange
Cheese Pairing: The sharpest havarti you can find
Food Pairing: Spaghetti O's (maybe pretend it's fancy by adding some parmesan and cracked black pepper on top after plating)
Music Pairing (Jimbo's Choice): "The Hourglass" by Girih
Music Pairing (Jared's Choice): "The Sand" by Girih
Best Occasion to Drink: While fulfilling your purpose in life
Brewers' Notes: when we sat down with our post-rock pals in Girih, they told us they wanted us to make a tripel with a twist! Their live performances are big on "live looping," which more or less means they record and replay snippets of their music on the fly, which gives the impression of having "like fourteen guitars at a time," even though they're a trio. Anyway, we brewed up a straight-up tripel and then once it got goin' we added in a bit of a different batch mid-fermentation (no, we won't tell you which one) and this doesn't quite give you the impression that you're drinking multiple beers at once (which, from personal experience, is not usually advisable), but it did create a tasty and unique beer that's pretty much impossible to replicate (much like their live shows? I might be stretching that metaphor a bit too far) and anyway you should drink it!
