Layers are great. Both the metaphorical ones, and the literal ones, but the top layers are only as good as the foundation on which they are laid. This foundation-- the base layer -- is the most important layer, and that's why our latest seasonal, Base Layer: Winter IPA, is all about that foundation. It's got a big, biscuity caramel malt body that allows for the assertive spicy bitterness, pine, and citrus of the hops to shine. Kind of like how a turtleneck under a snowsuit allows you to shine during skiing season by keeping you warm. I think. I don't know I've never been skiing. But I have had a Base Layer, and I know that its delicious. So go ahead and stick that guy in the fridge to crack open later, and let us know how you like Base Layer: Winter IPA!
If you try it and can't get enough, you can pick up a six-pack of Base Layer right now at all West Sixth Taprooms and at craft beer retailers around Kentucky.
P.S. While I was working through some writer’s block for today’s blog, I came up with this non-exhaustive, kind of weird, sometimes gross, and certainly useless list of things with layers. I’m going to share it here for your entertainment. Feel free to skip it. Or add to it in the comments.
