DAY 4 – LACOMBE Craft Beer Advent Calendar

We’re excited to showcase a beer with it’s heart in Pincher Creek Alberta, on πŸ…³πŸ…°πŸ†ˆ πŸ…΅πŸ…ΎπŸ†„πŸ† of our LACOMBE Alberta Craft Beer Advent Calendar! πŸŽπŸ“…
“𝐓𝐇𝐄 π’ππŽπ– 𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑”
Stout
Wild Winds Brewery
Pincher Creek, AB
5.5% ABV
On January 10, 1962, the Town of Pincher Creek experienced a β€œSnow Eater,” also known as a Chinook wind. The town holds the national record for one of the most extreme temperature changes in a single day! The temperature rose from a chilly -19Β°C to a summery 22Β°C in just one hour.
Β 
A medium-full-bodied black beer with a pronounced roasted flavour, with notes of coffee and dark chocolate with some malty complexity. It has a smooth mouthfeel from adding Canada Malting’s flaked oats and Red Shed Malting‘s Penhold wheat. The hop aroma is low, and the beer finishes dry.

DAY 3 – LACOMBE Craft Beer Advent Calendar

Very excited about unwrapping πŸ…³πŸ…°πŸ†ˆ πŸ†ƒπŸ…·πŸ†πŸ…΄πŸ…΄ of our LACOMBE Craft Beer Advent Calendar! πŸŽπŸ“…
“𝙒𝙍𝙄𝙏𝙀𝙍’π™Ž π˜½π™‡π˜Όπ™‰π˜Ύ”
Barrel-Aged Mixed Fermentation Sour
Trial & Ale
Edmonton, AB
6.0% ABV
Hops have played an important role in the craft beer world since the beginning of the scene’s renaissance.
Β 
How the hop has expressed itself has varied and evolved ever since. Admittedly, in the world of sour mixed fermentations, the hop is an understated bit player compared to many other starring role styles, however the uses continue to evolve.
Β 
Known for its bitter qualities and its inherent preservative nature, many other vital contributions go unnoticed. In the world of sour beers, dry hopping is the reference standard of uses. Playing up the aroma and flavour of the hop, while minimizing the bitterness is key to a pleasurable experience when combined with acidity. One of our favourite hop varietals that resonates with us and never disappoints is Hallertau Blanc.
Β 
With a white wine character, and confusingly fruity AND floral notes, it offers a complex nose and flavour that is typically achieved through hop combinations. While grown in the Hallertau region, it is a far cry from its noble namesake. In actuality, this hop is a close relative of the Cascade varietal from North America, albeit with a distinctly German terroir.
