I dagene omkring CBC havde Amager Bryghus af fire omgange besøg af amerikanske gæstebryggere. Nu er to af etiketterne klar og dermed løftes lidt af sløret for, hvad det er gæstebryggene har kastet af sig. Stovts dagbogsnotater fra dagen, hvor Cigar City gæstede Amager Bryghus kan læses eller genlæses her.
Cigar City: Xiquic and the hero twins, 9%
"Who Xiquic was, is a bit hard to explain - but we all
know the hero twins: Wayne Wambles and Jacob
Storm - headbrewers of Cigar City Brewing in Tampa,
FL and Amager Bryghus, Denmark respectively.
Since his fi rst visit at Amager back in 2011 Wayne
has been quite the idol for us. We don't believe
it's possible to fi nd anyone with a bigger heart
in brewing - combined with the utmost
passion and sense for detail.
Therefore it was a great honor to us that
Wayne accepted our invitation to come brew
at Amager Bryghus - even on his birthday! A
recipe was created from what seemed like
an endless stream of emails. The Cigar City
signature cedar wood was ordered and a
birthday cake was baked.
We had a fun day - we hope you'll have fun
enjoying this double mash cedar infused
black pepper Imperial Stout, yeah, no
kiddin'. It's a bit of a beast - but a gentle one."
Off Color Brewing: Gnädige Frau, 10%
"When the best little liquor store in Chicago asks you to make
them a celebration beer, it’s an honor you simply cannot
refuse. West Lakeview Liquors has been owned and run
by the Bozic family for 25 years, and that indeed calls for
something unique and di fferent.
Our signature Imperial Stout, Hr. Frederiksen, has
always been a popular beer in the store. And with
that beer as a base, master brewer John La er from
O ff Color Brewing - and longtime friend of both
Amager Bryghus and West Lakeview Liquors - was
given free hands to add his very personal touch.
The result is this collaboration: “Gnädige Frau -
Marshmallow Stout” - combining a trademark
Danish beer with the very American camp fire
treat a s’more.
The name of the beer is a tribute to Kristina
Bozic, the current owner of West Lakeview
Liquors who personally and enthusiastically
took part in the brewing here at Amager
Bryghus, slicing vanilla beans and marshmallows
and crushing graham crackers with a
meat hammer!
A sweet and unique lady requires a very
special beer. We believe “Gnädige Frau” to be
exactly that. Enjoy!"
