Bill-looking creature looks less surprised by a fox than at having a hole in its head and threatened with drowning in a glass of ale. One of several salt dough Christmas tree ornaments Meg made several years ago, this Mr. And proof that no one can run away from everything,” said Meg Boogity, who joined me more for an online beer tasting than literary analysis, but who knows where Twitter will lead? If you’re drinking Harpoon’s new seasonal beer, UFO Gingerland, it might even lead to this: In the Aarne–Thompson folk tale classification system-which I’m sure everyone is familiar with-it belongs to a category called “The Fleeing Pancake.” The basic plot involves a piece of food that comes to life, flees hungry pursuers, mocks them, but then is tricked by some creature (often a fox), and is then promptly devoured. Nicholas but it’s a tale told in many countries’ folk tales. The first known publication of “The Gingerbread Boy” story was in the May 1875 issue of St. Kipling wrote many of those stories in Dummerston, Vermont, about ten minutes away from me. Authors like Mark Twain and Louisa May Alcott wrote for the magazine, as did Rudyard Kipling, who published some of his “Jungle Book” stories therein. Like White, many subsequent famous authors first hit print as kids in St. Nicholas, a monthly literary magazine for children which began in 1873 and continued with varying stages of vigor before expiring in 1940. White recently, learning in the process that some of his first published pieces appeared in St.

He adds, playfully referencing Berkshire’s successful flagships, “I’m quite offended, but one of the people in the industry said these are the best things we’ve put out yet.”įor more information, including a full list of participating breweries and beers, visit was reading work by and about E. “You can have distilleries that have made the same whiskey for 100 years, and that’s their one brand and that’s what they sell.” The scale of the project is not lost on Weld. The remaining nine whiskeys are scheduled to be released throughout 2021. The first three are available now at the distillery and will be making their way into select stores. “That’s one of the great, geeky things about this being a sort of a wacky science experiment where the genetics of the beer translate over,” says Weld.Įach brewery provided different amounts of beer to Berkshire Mountain, which means the final yield of the various whiskeys ranges from hundreds of bottles to hundreds of cases. Each of the whiskeys has intentionally turned out quite differently. And that’s part of the fun of the project, which works with beers as diverse as Jack’s Abby’s Smoke & Dagger black lager, Brewery Ommegang’s Three Philosophers Belgian quad, and Long Trail’s Unearthed American stout. There’s a citrus backbone to each of the first three whiskeys, which taste lighter and brighter than something made with, say, a stout or a brown ale. “We try and abide by ‘a watched pot never boils’, so we try and let the barrels sit for a bit.” “The first three I was a little bit hesitant, because they’re all somewhat flavored beers with botanicals,” Weld says of the aforementioned brews.
Some of the flavors, then, that make a beer pleasant to drink, like Harpoon UFO White’s coriander and orange peel, need to be carefully balanced.
In other words, you probably don’t want to use the biggest, hoppiest IPA. Weld can tell you the science behind all of it, but some things to know about turning beer into whiskey are that the process is more similar to making scotch (in terms of turning a liquid into another liquid), and that any big flavors in beer, like bitterness, are magnified in the distilled spirit. “They just hit five years, and I have to say they’re all pretty spectacular.” “We were going to release them a year ago, and then COVID hit,” says Berkshire founder Chris Weld.
