WILK Friday BeerBuzz–14 Oct 2011 (Southern Tier Mokah w/Phin Demink)

It was fun to finally hook up with Southern Tier Brewing founder and brew master Phin Demink on today’s show.  We’ve been working schedules for months to finally get to chat with Phin, and it was worth the wait.

Southern Tier Brewing makes some of what I consider to be the most creative and flavorful brews distributed in PA, so it was a difficult choice to feature just one beer.  From their Crème Brule to their Pumking, I really like them all, but given that we’re a morning show, we thought Southern Tier Mokah would be perfect.

Mokah is part of Southern Tier’s Black Water Series and it is a wonderful blend of their JAHVA coffee imperial stout and their Choklat chocolate imperial stout…and the blend is wonderful.  Just enough coffee to make it’s presence known, a delicate touch of milk chocolate that lays on your palate and the big bold imperial stout to back it all up.  Mokah is not only big in flavor, it’s big in ABV coming in at 11% ABV so share this one with a friend or two…or perhaps a morning beer show team.

It was not only fun chatting with Phin about Choklat, but also some of the upcoming plans for Southern Tier.  I’m  excited to hear about the growth of Southern Tier and some of the plans they have for the future (with their brewery and beers).

Thanks

to  Phin Demink from Southern Tier Brewing, Nancy, John, Joe, and Bosco for yet another fun Friday.
