Over a few beverages the other night the topic was discussed in relation to brewing a beverage for this christmas... that will go into a keg and wait till then..
Basicly we came up with a few points, now im trying to figure out the best way to go about it.
must be.
-Potent!
-friend friendly (no IPA's or RIS's)
-easy drinking
-christmassy...
basicly im thinking
LLME, steep in some munich, and a bit of light crystal, bitter with some fuggles, and flavour with some saaz, ferment with whatever yeast ive got going... (irish ale, or maybe another yeast (im going to get another smacker before then)) and maybe make up some belgian candy sugar just to bring up the OG a bit...
now the difficult bit...
how do you make a beer taste christmassy?
after several thoughts, the only things we could come up with were
cherries and orange zest sort of a mince-pie type deal..
but im looking for other suggestions...
