+++ Daily Guinness #005 - Wait, you want to ’Poke’ my beer? (feat. Joel Scott of Northbound BrewPub)

“Give Us This Day Our Daily Guinness” - DAY 5

 

Germany has a winter tradition of brewing a dark-strong beer called an "Eisbock" (pronounced Ice-Bock... yes... Ice is actually involved) But here's the real kicker: Tradition is to heat up an iron rod till it gets red hot and 'poke' your beer by sticking it in for a split second. The reaction is an instant boiling frothy head, a toasty aroma and the rest of the beer stays cold. I've never seen it done in person, so when Sarah found out Joel Scott at Northbound in South Minneapolis was doing it this afternoon... we had to check it out.
