HARK! THE VIENNAMAN COMETH!

“Color Me a Viennaman” is our SIXTH (?!?!?!) annual collab with @LateStartBrewing, and we all just love this beer way too much to not be over the moon about it. But not enough to once again re-tool the recipe and shorten the name, haha.

“Viennaman” started off with a base of 100% @RiverbendMalt comprised of Vienna, Pilsner, Munich, and Chit Malts. We did adjust the malt bill YET AGAIN, but just a tiny bit to lighten it up a little more, and it resulted (once again) in a significantly higher drinkability while maintaining the same malt character as before. It was then gently kissed with Saaz hops before being fermented low and slow with our House Lager Yeast and then being spunded for natural carbonation. We definitely hit it with a mix of approaches from both breweries, and laid it down to rest in one of our Lager Tanks for maximum clarity and crispness. Waves of rich malt character make way for a medium-bodied wall of nutty, toasted wheat bread slathered in honey, a forest trail laden with morning dew, and just a touch of spicy hop presence on the finish. Definitely imminently more crushable and balanced than ever before. Maximum Chippy Boi™ character in this one, y’all.

We couldn’t be happier with this iteration and continued subtle tweaks on this beer! Did we mention that we also love the Late Start crew?! And did you know they have their own spot in Tampa now?!?! Go follow them and pay them (and us!) a visit while we’re down there for Sunday Brunch during Tampa Bay Beer Week!
