Nom de Plum
Belgian-style ale with organic plums
We’re never afraid to capitalize on a little obvious wordplay, so here’s the latest little beer from your friendly neighborhood brewers.
Nom de plum came about after a phone call from a friend in the MidWest who occasionally sells us fruit juices and purees for beers like Cerise Cassèe, Kriek du Cambridge, etc. “Hey,” he says. “Any interest in some organic plum juice? I just got it in.”
“Cool! Heck yeah,” we reply, followed quickly by “Ok, what shall we do with it?”
A quick conference amongst the brewstaff and we have nom de plum.
A blend of pale malts starts us off, combined with our house Belgian yeast strain and a touch of coriander, both of which provide a subtle spiciness to compliment fruity plum flavors and a lingering fresh tartness. Hops are at a minimum, and the fresh plum juice lends brightness of flavor plus a really cool color to the beer as showcased in its tulip-style glass.
A perfect little refresher to be enjoyed on the patio (or inside with the AC) as the weather finally gives us a taste of summer.
