HooDoo-Beer-On-Tap

Beer 1: The English Mild
Taste: Nutty, English, Sessionable
The HooDoo Mild is our take on an English-style bitter – a classic UK session beer. These beers are originally poured via hand-pump and served at “cellar” temperatures. Often called “sessionable” because of the ease of consuming several in a single setting, ours is made with English Maris Otter malt, is naturally carbonated, and drinks clean and crisp, with a subtle complex malt flavor (that just might leave you craving more). A single hop charge at the beginning of the boil gives this beer a supporting bitterness, while letting the delicious malt shine throughout each gulp.

Pair with: Roasted chicken or pork is a great choice to have with our Mild, along with grilled meats, as long as they’re not too spicy, but maintains a nice caramelized char. A good filet of salmon that’s cooked with brown sugar would be equally tasty, or any Alaskan fish would be great pair next to a pint of bitter, since a many of the British malt varietals are grown close to the ocean. It’s sweet on shellfish, which is also a fine pairing since it won’t overwhelm. For cheese, try any English cheese: Farmhouse cheddars, a mild stilton, cotswold or sage derby. Maybe your thing is desert? This beer is great with a good ol’ Oatmeal Cookie.
ABV: 4% // IBU: 15 // OG: 9.4

Beer 2: American IPA
Taste: Floral, Citrus, Balanced
Our IPA has a juicy backbone of Northwest US pale and crystal malts. Big floral and citrus hop aroma and flavor balance out the delicious malty base. A smooth bitterness in the finish refreshes the palette, preparing you for another sip.

Pair with: Any type of meat you prep with a spicy intent: BBQ Pork, Spiced rubbed shrimp, Frank’s Red Hot Wings, 4-star Thai anything, hot curry in any color. These cheeses: Gorgonzola or Cambozola, Beecher’s Flagship Cheddar. Give it a go with your next Carrot or Ginger Spice Cake.
ABV: 7.2% // IBU: 52 // OG: 17

Beer 3: HooDoo Stout
Taste: Creamy, Coffee, Chocolate
HooDoo Stout is the perfect beer for a Fairbanks Winter. A cross between an Oatmeal and Cream stout, this beer is made with dark roasted barley malts, flaked oats and milk sugar that lend it deep milk chocolate and creamed coffee aromas and flavors.

Pair with: Stout balances out rich, spicy food. Try it with big, flavorful BBQed meat of any kind. Pairs awesome with fresh, briny oysters. Thinly sliced, roast beef on the rare side paired with whole grain mustard and freshly ground horseradish would show the stout off. For cheese: Aged cheddar, Gouda, or parm. For a treat, use HooDoo Stout instead of water in your favorite pancake or chili recipe <—trust us on this…
ABV: 5.8% // IBU: 35 // OG: 15.5

We also have some cool events planned for the week so be sure to follow us on Facebook or Twitter or sign up for our email newsletter to the right. PROST!

HooDoo Maibock May 2013 Fairbanks Alaska

We teamed up with local artist Lucas Elliot on a t-shirt and poster design.


Beer 2: Maibock
Taste: Rich, Malty, Clean
Goodbye winter, hello summer!  Celebrate as the Germans celebrate! HooDoo Maibock, our first lager, pours a rich golden color with a creamy white head on top.  The aroma is clean with an inviting malt complexity and a lightly spicy noble hop note.  With the first sip comes a juicy hit of delicious German malts.  Hints of honey, candy sugar, and clean aromatic hops.  Medium bodied, the rich malty flavors are supported by a soft underlying hop bitterness, balancing the beer perfectly.

Pair with: What should you be nibbling on along with your Maibock this season? If you’re looking to keep it simple, a honey ham sandwich with a slice of Gruyere cheese is perfect. But, if you prefer more of a meal than a snack, you can’t go wrong with roasted pork. Stuff or top your pork with apples, add a side of potato dumplings or pancakes and you’ve got a perfect match to your HooDoo Maibock.
