Knee Deep Brewing Midnight Hoppyness

A fine Sunday afternoon at the Pinhead Compound and I've got an Imperial Double Black Ale to try from the kind folks at Knee Deep Brewing.  This one is called Midnight Hoppyness and I purchased this one a few weeks ago in anticipation of the Midnight theme for this weeks show.  I've heard great things about the brewery located in Auburn, CA and couldn't wait to try it.  I was a bit startled when I opened the bottle as I heard no gas escape.  Hmmm - not good.  Poured it into the glass and not even a hint of a head.  I think this one was capped poorly and the CO2 escaped - I bet some oxidation occurred as well.  The first taste was pretty nasty and the rest went down the drain.  Too bad - but hey - I'll try another Knee Deep at some point.  Good thing I had a few Sierra Nevada Torpedos handy - now that's a beer that never lets me down.

Cheers,
Jerry

Ninkasi Maiden The Shade Summer IPA

Got my hands on another brew from the Eugene, Oregon based Ninkasi Brewery.  This one is called Maiden The Shade and is what Ninkasi calls a Summer Style IPA.  Nice label showing the goddess Ninkasi  enjoying a bit of shade on a hot summer day.  Ninkasi is the Sumerian Goddess of Brewing.  Yes, the Sumerians had a Goddess of Brewing - they were part of the Cradle of Civilization and you don't get much more civilized that a fermented beverage.  And what a fermented beverage this one is.

 Seven types of hops that leave a foor wide area of aroma when you pour this one.  The brewmaster at Ninkasi was supposedly going for the aroma of Ganga when he concocted the mix, but I don't get that.  What I get is a wonderfully dank spiciness with threads of citrus pine and some type of nut (Almond? Walnut?  Brazil Nut?).  Maybe I'm just nuts, but this one is very fragrant and it only registers 72 on the IBU scale. The taste is wonderful and it finishes very smooth with some nice sweetness from the malt - no biting bitterness that I expected with the IPA title.  I'll be going back for more of this.

Ninkasi Website ----->  the playful side of summer

Beer Advocate -----> very good

2011 Berryessa Gap Zinfandel

Time for a Red this Lazy Sunday and what a Red it is!  Now, I've blathered on and on about the Berryessa Gap Zinfandel (see the past vintage's posts - 2006, 2008, 2009) and the winery keeps on delivering with the 2011 vintage.  Tons of red fruit on the nose and on the tongue and a subtle bit of something else - is it meringue, fudge, vanilla or caramel? - some type of sweetness beyond the fruit that I can't put my finger on.  

This should go great with the Pork Chops that will be sizzling on the grill in a few hours.  Gonna add some halved Red Plums to the grill when the chops are almost done that will pair well with the Pork.  Have you tried grilled stone fruits with Pork before? Peaches and Plums work the best - just cut them in half and get rid of the stone.  Smear on some Plum or Peach preserves and place them cut side down on the grill in a cooler area.  Let them caramelize on the grill side and let the meat of the fruit juice up.  It should end up being a bit of a paste that you can spread over the Pork or just eat it as side accompanying the Pork.  Highly Recommended as is this Zin, which should go well with both the Pork and the Plums.

Here's the Berryessa Gap Winery website for the Zin ----->  Smooth and Delicious on the palate

Cheers,

Jerry
