Episode 37: Muerte De Chancla

Yolo Brewing Company’s Dave Weiss is a talented individual when it comes to making beer and somebody’s pretty good with naming them. We don’t know what else he’s good at, but he’s got this nailed. Beer judge Dan Scott and Bob Moffitt both found something to love during a venture into West Sacramento. Who knew it would have anything to do with a flip-flop? Click HERE for the podcast!

Guinness Original Dry Irish 4.2% abv

Bob: Is it a porter. Is it a stout? GOOD/VERY GOOD a little fizzy.

Dan: Quaffable. VERY GOOD. Nice to have a sample of the original 200-year-recipe.

Dave: I like the carbonation. To style. VERY GOOD. Refreshing, light-bodied, refreshing.

Yolo Brewing Co. Peanut Butter and Jelly Cream (strawberry) 6.3% abv

Dan: It’s nutty. I smelled a peanut butter and jelly sandwich last Sunday. VERY GOOD. Little more jelly please. What’s the next sandwich we can make into a beer?

Bob: We go down a rabbit hole. Stay with us. Promises what it delivers. Best peanut butter I’ve had by far. EXCELLENT

Dave: Got to protect the bread integrity. I’ve heard of others, but I’ve never tried one. Little lactose. The mosquitoes are here to guard the recipe. Base beer can be used with any type of jelly flavoring including grape and blackberry.

Moonraker Deafening Silence bourbon barrel-aged 13.0% abv

Dave: Well-executed. I zested 5 gallons of oranges once. Lot of challenges to making this. No question: EXCELLENT

Dan: Super thick. This makes me think. Degree of difficulty is up there. EXCELLENT

Bob: Promises orange zest. Delivers. I really like oranges and it’s a good talker but I don’t want a lot of it. VERY GOOD.

Yolo Brewing Co Muerte de Chancla with Tilted Mash Brewing Mexican Hot Chocolate 16.0 % abv

Dave: fresh cinnamon, chipotle peppers added to a sweet base and a bunch of chocolate. I steeped like crazy. This is the highest alcohol content I’ve ever reached.

Dan: I could enjoy just smelling this forever. Magic. Unabashedly EXCELLENT

Bob: My wife loves the word chancla. Holy peppers. There’s so much heat, I swear it’s barrel-aged. Flavors in waves. Delivers as promised. Very drinkable. GOOD/VERY GOOD.
