Third in our Chef Collaboration series, this unprecedented brew is Christmas dinner in a glass. Chef Andy Myers of the Anchorage Café helped us blend the traditional French mirepoix flavors (celery, carrot, and onion) with a solid biere de garde. We also threw some thyme, coriander, orange peel, and local sorghum in there for good measure. The slightly sweet base beer provides an excellent canvas for the crazy array of food flavors present. Each flavor should make an appearance on the palate without letting any one dominate. Throw one back and think of home!

Tap at brewery. Biscuit malt, bread stuffing - poultry seasoning aroma. Clear copper with a moderate off-white head, thick creamy lacing. Bready malt, poultry seasoning - sage, thyme - a lot like bread stuffing. Medium creamy body. Sound absolutely bizarre, but yet again, these guys find a way to make bizarre taste fantastic.

Draft. Bready malt aroma with strong herbal aroma. (like a Thanksgiving stuffing). Golden yellow with small head. Sweet barley initially followed by sage, thyme, and vegetable (nice, not an off flavor) flavor. Really have to give it to AtG - reading the description, I really didn’t expect them to be able to pull this off, but somehow, they not only made a tolerable beer but one that was quite enjoyable. Incredible daring in making unique beers.
