WILK Friday BeerBuzz–3 Dec 2010 (Breaker Brewing Co Belsnickler)

It’s always fun having friends in the studio, and of course whenever the beerbuzz crew and Breaker Brewing Co crews get together, it’s always fun.  Today we welcomed Mark Lehman and Chris Miller from Breaker Brewing Co into the studio to join us in a holiday vertical.  So what’s a “vertical?”  Well as you heard on the radio today, a vertical tasting is when you sample back to back vintages of the same or similar beers.  Today we sampled an aged 2009 Belsnickler Ale side-by-side with a fresh 2010 Belsnickler Ale…and I’m happy to say it was a lot of fun.  The Belsnickler sinister santa ale has held up well during the off season and I’m excited to report the 2010 version tastes great as well.

I’m also happy to report that Breaker Brewing Co was the star of the 2010 Split Rock Beer Festival last weekend (11/20-11/21).  The lines were long and the excitement generated when they tapped a sixtel of Belsnickler on Sunday was amazing.  If you tuned into our video of the day, you also saw the sixtel of Belsnickler lasted only 17 minutes—and that included 2 mins of “quality assurance testing” by the beer buzz and breaker crews.

Be sure to try Belsnickler for yourself. 
Thanks
to  Chris, Mark, John, Nancy, Joe & Bosco for yet another fun Friday. 
The Friday Beerbuzz…bringing good beers and good people together.
