We brewed a Russian Imperial Stout (my first ever at Iron Hill!) within days of brewing The Situation.  I remember looking at the two fermenters making dueling messes all over my brewery’s floor and thinking, “I bet those will make a great black-and-tan!”  The Russian is chewy, rich and malty-sweet,  The Situation is much drier, much hoppier and has very little malt character.  So I thought we’d save the bartenders some work and combine them right in the firken.  It’s a Dark Situation.  We’ll toss this firken up on the bar and tap it at 1:00 along with The Situation itself.  I’d get a Dark Situation first if I were you, there’s only one firken of it.  Just 15 more days until the release party!  Got your costume ready?

Cheers,

Chris
