Our Thoughts
Today we have "Widespread Red" which is a Specialty Beer that could be compared to a Strong IPA. With a ABV of 6.6 this is a beer that will get you pie-eyed in no time. This beer is meant for the drinker with a distinguished taste for bitterness.
Specialty Beer
These beers are brewed using unusual fermentable sugars, grains and starches that contribute to alcohol content other than, or in addition to, malted barley. Nuts generally have some degree of fermentables, thus beers brewed with nuts would appropriately be entered in this category. The distinctive characters of these special ingredients should be evident either in the aroma, flavor or overall balance of the beer, but not necessarily in overpowering quantities. For example, maple syrup or potatoes would be considered unusual. Rice, corn, or wheat are not considered unusual. Special ingredients must be listed when competing. A statement by the brewer explaining the special nature of the beer, ingredients and achieved character is essential in order for fair assessment in competitions. If this beer is a classic style with some specialty ingredients, the brewer should also specify the classic style. Guidelines for competing Spiced beers using unusual fermentables should be entered in the experimental category. Fruit beers using unusual fermentables should be entered in the fruit beer category.
