Changing Colours x Slow Hand: Witch Hunt Maibock
7% abv | Available Saturday!!*
There aren’t a lot of beer styles that would fit in a Venn diagram between a lager-focused brewery like Slow Hand and a cutting edge, hop-forward brewery like Changing Colours Brewing Project | Hoppy Ales & Lagers. When it came to this collaboration brew, we wanted to combine the strengths and passions of both breweries, but brewing a dry hopped pilsner seemed a little too obvious… so we went hunting for something a little less expected and decided to brew a Maibock 🐐🤘
Bet you haven’t had Maibock in a while! A Maibock is a strong lager with a light but perceptible hoppiness. We used Vienna and Munich malts for a classic honey-coloured, malt forward character with slight sweetness and notes of baked bread and nuttiness. We also used an unusual combo of Czech Saaz and Simcoe hops for this brew: the spicy and floral Saaz hops pair surprisingly well with the passionfruit and citrus notes of the Simcoe. Nice and dry, it’s a sunny day beer that can stand up to being sipped alongside a meal but feels much lighter tasting than its 7% abv would suggest.
*Witch Hunt will be available this Saturday, ON TAP at the Changing Colours Anniversary Party, and available to buy in 4-packs TO GO ONLY in the Threefold tasting room. It will be available on tap at Threefold starting next week. 🧹🍻🤘
