This Wee-k's Heavy New Beer Labels

Here for the fenugreek

Happy Label Wednesday, friends! What if we kissed by the fenugreek bushes? Trees? Plants? IDK but it’s part of…

The New Illinois Beer Label of the Week:

I’ve been seeing a handful of new barrel-aged beer labels emerging from Pipeworks over the past few weeks, but this one caught my eye as being one of the more interesting to pop up: A wee heavy? With vanilla and fenugreek? Aged in bourbon barrel and maple syrup barrels? Hell yeah. Let’s get weird.

If you’ve never cooked with fenugreek, it’s an interesting flavor component - with the sweetness of maple on the nose but also a very celery-like vegetal note on the palate as well. Since Pipeworks also offers up the occasional celery beer I bet they know how to maximize on what that herb can offer a beer.

Last Kiss has been part of the Pipeworks roster going back over a decade but this looks like it would be its first release in over five years.
