Schell’s Chimney Sweep Arrives

By on November 14, 2012in breweries, Features

Back in August, we told you a little bit about a couple of Schell’s beers set to hit the market in fall. No doubt you’ve seen their Citra Pils fresh-hop pilsner around by this point. Today marks the release of Chimney Sweep, a black lager “with a roasty maltiness, sturdy hop bitterness and an underlying subtle smokiness.”

This beer will be the first part of a duo of beers that will replace Stout in Schell’s year-round line-up of specialty beers. It will be available November through March and then from April to September, another yet-unnamed beer will take its place. (Nope! Not the Radler.)

The inspiration for Chimney Sweep comes from the rich dark lagers of Franconia. The idea for the beer is a full-bodied, yet sessionable black lager with a wisp of smokiness. Look for rich roasty malt body with notes of bittersweet chocolate and coffee. It has a sturdy hop bitterness and a subtle smokiness for balance and depth. From what I gather it’s not a a beer to be pinned down with a style, featuring the rich malty body of a Franconian dunkel, the roastiness and color of a Schwarzbier and a subtle smokiness, though it’d decidedly not a rauchbier, either.

Fulton Oyster Stout Tonight at The Lowry

Like oysters? Head over to The Lowry tonight! From 5-9, they’ll be serving two special kinds of oysters they’ve flown in just for this event: Shoregasm, described as “tiny but mighty” and Belong, enormous 3-4″ diamater oysters. To top it off, Fulton brewed a one-of-a-kind oyster stout to go with them! Oysters are supposed to be an aphrodisiac, but we also know the idea of an oyster stout doesn’t turn everyone on. We’ve been told it’s really good, and the oyster flavor is extremely subtle. Get there early, because there’s only one keg–so when it’s gone, it’s gone for good.
