My brewer friend Jay and I decided to break out the carboys now that it's starting to warm up outside, so we headed down to The Ginger Man last week for a "sampling session" with the hopes that we would find a fine ale to brew for the spring/summer. We tried (too) many wonderful beer styles that afternoon including a very tasty Sam Adams cherry wheat.
After much discussion we both concluded that we wanted something light bodied, cherry flavored, with a pretty high ABV % It was with this criteria that we decided to brew the world's first (as far as we know) drum roll... cherry malt liquor!
yes, I know. I expect this to turn out pretty badly but I'm committed now so with that being said, wish me luck! I think the hardest part is going to be collecting enough 40oz bottles since we intend to use a 10 gallon recipe. I don't know a single person who drinks king cobra so I can't exactly call all my friends and say "hey, save me your empty 40's"
updates and pics to follow.
