EPISODE #99: What Should You Drink First? Sour or Stout?

While sitting in one of our favorite beer establishments, we noticed that they had some of their sours and a couple of their stouts. I wanted to try them all. But we knew that the sours would go very fast. One tapped out while we were there. Yet, we didn’t know what I should have first. Sour or stout. We understand the method as it relates to bitterness and color. We know it’s always the softer beers first, so starting with pilsners/blonde/amber then IPA, then red/brown ales, is normally the way to go. Dark/strong beers are always last. But where does sour fall into this line up. During this episode, we have the Perenial Artisian Ales SUMP COFFEE STOUT. It’s an imperial coffee stout is made in collaboration with Scott Carey & Co. at South City’s Sump Coffee. They chose a coffee from the “La Virgen” region of Colombia. We also have the Schmoojee Strawberry Blueberry Puffsicle Cotton Candy by Imprint Beer Co. Its pretty much made of cotton candy, strawberries and blueberries. The feature tune for this episode is a snippet of a song from the duo Jyroscope and Montana Mack from their album, Happy Medium. The track is Work. Make sure that you check them out on Bandcamp.
