This Saturday, Basement Beer Bar in Aalborg will release Majestic Reserve, a double barrel-aged Barleywine. It was aged for 18 months in an Elijah Craig bourbon barrel, followed by 13 months in an 18-year-old Sazerac Rye barrel.
This is a collaboration I did with Nikolaj from ynotbrewing — and it’s not your typical collab. It’s actually what I would describe as a real collab.
Nikolaj and I have talked a lot about why and how to do a collab. Is it to learn from each other, or is it just to hang out? For us it had to make sense, so we came up with what we thought was the best solution.
We created the recipe together, taking both of our methods into consideration. Then we each brewed one batch individually on our own systems before finally brewing one batch together at Nikolaj’s place.
That’s what I call a real collab!
Not gonna lie, I love this beer! And if you are not around Aalborg don’t worry. peders - Pisserendens ølkælder got you covered with a few in the cellar - inhouse only.
So don’t snooze on this heavy hitter.
