Werewolves not swearwolves

The Basics

Style - New Zealand Pilsener

ABV - 6.2%

Description

Citrus and stonefruit character burst out of the glass and carry through in the palate where subtle hints of lime zest join in with a softer, malt accented presentation.

The Name

The name is a reference to “what we do in the shadows.” Definitely watch the movie and the show. The movie was written and directed by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement (two famous New Zealanders) and is a mockumentary horror comedy about vampires and werewolves in today’s modern society. At one point the werewolves are upset and start swearing. Their leader then utters the phrase We’re werewolves not swearwolves” 

The Ingredients

Malts

2-Row, Pilsener, and Dextrin Malts

Hops

Galaxy, Motueka, Nelson Sauvin

The Fun Facts

There’s actually not much in the way of a style for an autumn ale, its pretty much any beer you want to make and release in autumn but traditionally this “style” of beers is more malt centric (less hoppy) and, as we have done, has some additional fall flavoring added in.

The Pairings

Chili, shepherd's pie, turkey/apple/brie sandwich, cranberry/walnut salad, chicken Alfredo, or mashed potatoes
