What’s on tap for the week of May 19th – May 25th 2013

Just a little reminder of what will be going on at AboutBeverages.com for the week of May 19th - May 25th 2013. A little bit of a low note last week after so many great beers at the tasting table. With any luck fortunes should change this week at the very least for one of us. It all happens on Wednesday with a "Give It A Shot" featuring the Old Guardian Oak Smoked Barley Wine from Stone Brewing. This is the latest Odd Beers for Odd Years release where during that time they create a special release of the Barley Wine and Imperial Russian Stout. In 2011, the first year of this program, they used a Belgian yeast to change up both beers. Our podcast about the IRS can be found here. For 2013 the Barley Wine gets some German oak-smoked malt and the IRS gets a heavy dose of espresso beans. We will get to the stout another time, but for this week it will just be the Barley Wine.
