Hopworks Unveil New Stout
|
From the Eco Dudes at Hopworks Urban Brewery:
Chainsaw Stout
——————————————————————————
An American Style Stout brewed for two American originals, the Ramones and Timber Jim. The Ramones were, by many accounts, the first punk band and “Chainsaw” is track 5 on their seminal self-titled album “Ramones”. Timber Jim is the chainsaw wielding mascot of the Portland Timbers, who retired last season. Hopworks will broadcast the complete Portland Timbers season when it begins in April.
Chainsaw Stout has a roasty, chocolately and caramelly aroma with a hint of citrus and floral hops. It features a medium body followed by roasted dryness.
14.5 Plato 5.9% ABV 45 IBUS
One Comment
Timber Jim is a legend; by my count this is the second beer brewed in his honor (Raccoon Lodge put out a Timber Jim Lager a few years ago), in addition to a number that have appeared in honor of the Timbers in general (Lucky Lab’s No Pity Pale Ale, McMenamins’ Rose City Till I DiePA, Rock Bottom’s Bonfire IPA…there may be more I’m unaware of).
I’m tickled that HUB is getting in on the act, but it was this line that made me fall deeper in love with them: “Hopworks will broadcast the complete Portland Timbers season when it begins in April.”
