Mid-week beer arrivals of note
Posted Feb 01, 2012 in Beer, Breweries, History, Limited Release, New this week, People, Rarerities, Seasonals
We have been waiting for this for some time now, anxiously, drooling-ly (made up word). And it’s here: Olde Hickory Eiraphiotes. We can’t pronounce it at all, but we’re going to drink it for sure! (Here, Brewer Steven Lyerly talks about the beer.)
We had to look up Eiraphiotes. Wikipedia says: Eiraphiotes: “Insewn”. Dionysus, in Olympian myth, was sewn into the thigh of Zeus, who brought the prematurely delivered infant to term. There’s also a little link to Hellenic Gods.
“Olde Hickory Brewery Eiraphiotes is a very limited relase. An Imperial Pilsner we aged in chardonnay barrels, it begins with a hoppy, floral nose, with a hint of grape skins. Fruity, medium body on the palate, with a malty sweetness, hints of grapes, a slight acidity and oaky dryness. Hops first on the finish, followed by sweet malt and finally dry oak. Available for a short time throughout NC in 750ml bottles and on tap in just a few locations.”
We also have ONE CASE of Foothills Sexual Chocolate. One/per person and you must ASK for it. No shipping. (Good luck!)
