ROTATING | Friday, November 22, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Kilgore is made in collaboration with Rare Breed Coffee. Kilgore is cold steeped post fermentation using a single origin, Colombian coffee. This process allows for the extraction of a richer coffee flavor without the bitterness. This beer has rich flavors reminiscent of brownies & chocolate without being overly sweet.
THE STORY:
"Kilgore Trout once wrote a short story which was a dialogue between two pieces of yeast. They were discussing the possible purposes of life as they ate sugar and suffocated in their own excrement. Because of their limited intelligence, they never came close to guessing that they were making champagne.” - Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of Champions
Kilgore is a window into how Vonnegut really felt. The man had a strong opinion on almost everything, but the one for himself was never very high. Nothing he did was good enough; he always believed he could be doing better. This beer serves as a reminder to always be challenging yourself, because you’re probably on your way to doing something great whether you realize it or not.
