So yesterday, i completed my goal of hitting 40 (which later became 50) breweries/brewpubs over the summer of 2019, kicking things off Memorial Day Weekend and closing them out this Labor Day Weekend. Magic number 50 ended up being Austin's
NXNW Restaurant and Brewery who happened to be celebrating their 20th anniversary. To celebrate, they were offering up a batch of their Iron Mermaiden, a sour, barrel-aged Irish stout brewed with tart cherries. Pouring black with tan and foamy head, the 6.5% ABV beer smells of malt, oak, cherries, and a whole lot of sour funk. The flavor is sour and malty, but with the sweetness of the cherries taking over a little bit more on the back end. Overall, a pretty well balanced brew, and a great way to end my summer quest. Good job everybody!
