Here’s one gift local beer connoisseurs will want on their holiday wish list: McKenzie Brew House’s Craft Beer Basket. The restaurant and brewery’s seasonal brew gift features three hand-crafted specialty beers brewed by award-winning Head Brewer Ryan Michaels and Assistant Brewer Gerard Olson. Festively packaged in a red ice bucket, the $39 gift includes two McKenzie pint glasses; special food ‘n brew pairing suggestions; and two Sunday Passports, packed with deals and discounts.
The basket’s three featured McKenzie beers include:
- Saison Vautour: A Great American Beer Festival gold medal award-winner three out of the past four years, this bottled version of McKenzie’s Belgian-style farmhouse ale is fermented and aged in wine barrels. Brewed with 25% malted rye for a spiciness that compliments this golden beer’s dry, bitter and tart refreshment. (7% ABV)
- St. Romain Strong: A unique twist on a legendary style, this East Coast-style barley wine was aged 17 months in French oak wine barrels. A big, fruity ale with a wild, tart acidity. (9% ABV)
- Oer Faute: A strong, dark lager aged over a year in American oak. Sour acidity adds complexity to the rich depths of this beer, which boasts big dark fruits and a firm dry finish. (9.5% ABV)
