A new twist on a favorite by one of the top local outfits in time for American Craft Beer Week.
Still rolling through some craft beer week offerings with a specialty keg put together by my favorite NOLA Brewing: a sour version of their Irish Channel Stout, aged in a Four Roses Bourbon Barrel.
Yes, there's a lot going on there.
Basically, it's the standard Irish Channel, which is a fantastic beer on its own, with the addition of lactobacillus in the "wort" portion of the brewing process. The wort is, basically, the cooked mash of grain and other ingredients that contains all the sugars that will be fermented by yeast to make alcohol.
