Cask Release: FAO Black Ale

Cask ale is a traditional British style of serving beer; beer is drawn out of the keg by hand and served at a slightly different carbonation level and temperature than normal draft beer to bring out new flavors and aromas.

This week, we're pouring:

Beer Name: FAO
Style: Black Ale
ABV: 4.0%
IBU: 23
Color: Black, of course.

Cheese Pairing: Morbier if that's your thing, Kentucky Rose if it ain't.
Food Pairing: Pancakes. Palacsinta would be preferred (especially if you take yours with a big ol' dollop of sour cream like we do), but you can't go wrong with pancakes.
Music Pairing (Jimbo's Choice): "Eat the Witch" by Black Breath
Music Pairing (Jared's Choice): "The Dawn of Battle" by Manowar
Best Occasion to Drink: While watching your friends try to outdo each other on who can eat the hottest hot sauce.

Brewers' Notes: This recipe's been on the docket for a while, but we were inspired to bring it into existence earlier this summer when we were approached by the Black Ale Project, a craft beer initiative to raise money and awareness on behalf of U.S. veterans! We couldn't think of a better reason to bring this beer to life, and we even got special glassware to go along with the release! If you buy a pint of FAO, you can purchase the glass for $2 and we'll donate it to a charity for veterans (or you can purchase the glass alone for $4 and we'll donate that)!
