WILK Friday BeerBuzz–8 July 2011 (Bullfrog Brewery Somnus Viduata)

WILKFridayBerbuzz11Back when I first started chasing great local craft beers, I encountered the Bullfrog Brewery in Williamsport, PA.  Their beers were 1st class, their food was fantastic and they had some great music and entertainment.  Many years later, I’m happy to report that Bullfrog Brewery keeps getting better and better.  Whether you visit for their classic Edgar IPA or their new creative brews, you will not be disappointed.

BullfrogLogoToday we welcomed brewmaster Nate Saar into the studio to sample two of his latest creations.  Nate has been brewing at the frog along side our pal Terry Hawbaker for over 5 years, so while his name may seem new to some, he has a ton of great brewing experience at Bullfrog brewery.

Somnus Viduata

for our sampling pleasure.  Somnus is a Coffee Saison….yes that’s correct….a coffee infused saison.  This 5.5% beer is loaded with flavor and an interesting beer to sample.  When most people sample a Saison they’re expecting a light yeasty farmhouse ale…and Somnus will not disappoint…however the scent and flavor of coffee is prominent so expect to be surprised. 

Somnus Viduata is Latin for Sleep Deprived and the coffee boost is there for sure…..with ethically sourced Columbian Magdalena coffee from Alabaster Coffee Roaster & Tea Company in Williamsport….be sure to sample this one.

Nate was also nice enough to also bring up his new Peach Panache.  This 5% ABV brew is a great partial wheat ale with tons of peach flavor (80 lbs of puree in each batch).  Panache uses a Saison & Brett yeast combo to give this brew a refreshing, yet complex flavor…..I really enjoyed this one.

Thanks

to  Nate Saar from Bullfrog Brewery, Nancy, John, Joe, and Bosco for yet another fun Friday.
