Aslan Brewing has your rainy beer with the release of Irish Coffee Stout
No longer all quiet on the Northwestern front, Bellingham’s Aslan Brewing Company has formally announced the release of Irish Coffee Stout.
Brewed in collaboration with local roasters, Bellingham Coffee Roasters, some say this beer reminds them of a cold brew coffee. Although, if the Irish have anything to say about it, they’d argue this beer has more in common with the subtle hints of coffee that are found a traditional Irish Stout. Really it doesn’t matter, so long as you pair this with a rainy day or maybe a overcast-filled detective show.
Here are some quick notes from the brewery, describing their Irish Coffee Stout.
toasted biscuit + drying + milk chocolate . 4.5% ABV | 35 IBU. Made with WGV hops, 2-Row Base Malt, Flaked Barley, Dark Munich Malt, Carafa Black Malt, and Bellingham Coffee Roasters Homebrew Medium Roast.
Look for this to be available at the brewery and who know, maybe a few spots around Bellingham or the nearby area.
About Aslan Brewing Company
IT ALL STARTED IN THE SUMMER OF 2012, as a conversation over a pint of beer at a local Bellingham pub. We shared our dreams and soon realized that the elements of our future were sitting amongst us: a businessman, a craft beer believer and, most importantly, a brewer. Together, Frank Trosset, Pat Haynes, and Jack Lamb would go on to build and operate a pilot brewery in Downtown Bellingham, where, for the next twelve months of our lives, we would research and develop the knowledge and skills needed to start our own commercial microbrewery and restaurant.
We called it ASLAN BREWING COMPANY, and quickly realized its identity through our personal commonalities. With a commitment to organic ingredients, locally sourced goods, and low-impact practices, we aimed to offer the community something new and refreshing, the sustainable way. As for “ASLAN”: a lion is the King of the Jungle, a regal figure rooted in nature, and aslan is the Turkish word for lion. This aligned our desire to operate a world-class brewery all while preserving the raw and exotic elements of the world. Through hard work and perseverance, we brewed over 130 original pilot batches, connected with local brewers and beer lovers alike, and designed a business plan catered to craft quality and creativity.
In the final days of Summer 2013, we were given the keys to what would become Aslan’s Brewpub. Plans and permits in hand, we began our nine-month journey into construction that was done primarily by us, Boe and Don Trosset. After months of unconditional commitment, Boe Trosset was added as an invaluable member of the ownership team. Fast forward to today and we are four great friends who have together manifested our dream of owning and operating an organic brewery. We are proud and fortunate to be working with many of our close friends and to be part of the amazing community that is Bellingham.
CHEERS TO LOCAL BEERS!
