King Ghidorah Release Party
Wednesday, May 12th
5:00pm
Green Dragon Bistro & Pub
928 SE 9th Ave
Portland, OR
If you missed the Portland Cheers to Belgian Beers Festival at Hopworks on May 1st, now's your chance to try the Green Dragon/OBC Bière de Garde, King Ghidorah.
We formulated and brewed this with Brad Winter of the Oregon Brew Crew; it is quite unique and we took the unknown path. The majority was fermented and aged in a used Rogue Dead Guy whiskey barrel then blended with a portion fermented in stainless to smooth the whiskey and oak contribution - 87% barrel and 13% stainless. Within find hints of oak, vanilla, apricots, clove, cinnamon and whiskey with firm mouthfeel and subtle lingering flavors.
King Ghidorah
Bière de Garde
OG 20P ABV ~9.2% IBU 25 Color ~10 SRM
PCTBB Yeast / Wyeast 3726 Farmhouse Ale
"[It has] enough personality for a three headed dragon," according to Brad.
*Out of 553 votes cast for the People's Choice Award at the festival, King Ghidorah was one of the top 6 beers.
Cheers!
