Mummers Brew
At our first monthly meeting of N.E.W.F. at the Yellowbelly last Wed. night I had the pleasure of having a Mummers Brew
seasonal, Chocolate Porter was absolutly devine. Too bad I was the DD.

North East Wort Fermenters,
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: Mummers Brew
Awesome! Hopefully some of the guys would be willing to have another pint with me this Wednesday.
Talk to Jimmy: if they're interested in a sub-forum, I'm sure that can be arranged.

Re: Mummers Brew
Thanks guys, I'll mention it, but most of the guys aren't forum guys.
And we are on Google +
You know most of them anyway, Chris.
Chris, I sent your notice to me to most of the other guys, like Pete and Dwayne.
Cheers

Re: Mummers Brew
This was Yellow Belly's Mummer's Brew? A Brewnoser from years ago once blogged that Quidi Vidi's Mummer's Brew was one of the most wretched beers he's ever had. Never had the "pleasure" myself, but I can vouch that QV's Kriek was pretty awful.

Re: Mummers Brew
It would have been Yellowbelly's.
QV Kriek, eh? Seeing how badly they screw up standard North American beer, I can only imagine what sort of trainwreck this would be!

Re: Mummers Brew
MMMMMMMMMMM Yellow Belly. Last month I had a friend from the rock bring me a Ginger fiesty Red from Yellow Belly that was tasty. I've only been to Yellow Belly once but the beer and food were great. Mummers Brew sounds very interesting.

Re: Mummers Brew
I thought the mummer's brew was interesting, but too sweet for my tastes. it was a christmas style ale, a bit of chocolate and spices added i believe. definitely worth a try nonetheless. taste buds were a little burnt out, as i had it after about 2 dozen spicy wings 

planning: beer for my cousin's wedding
Fermenting: black ipa
Conditioning:
Kegged: barrel barleywine from 2014 - i think i still have this somewhere

Re: Mummers Brew
Yeah, the Mummers Brew I had was from the YB. I agree with Liam, it was a little sweet, but I loved it all the same.BobbyOK wrote:This was Yellow Belly's Mummer's Brew?

Many years ago the Co. I work for installed the HLT for the brewery when they first started. We all got a Doz. QV Mummer Brew given us by the brewery.
Couldn't choke it down and gave it away to friends who would drink anything. I was wrong... they would drink anything... anything but QV Mummers Brew
Didn't know they had a Kriek.. I thought it was a Partridgeberry beer... just as bad IMO.
I can handle their 1892 and their Honey Brown, but most of the rest is blah.

Re: Mummers Brew
Ohhh, fond memories of Yellowbelly from this fall. Was in St. John's for work and spent two evenings there enjoying some good food and even better beer. I sampled all four brews they had on tap....while not being a big fan of reds or wheat beers in general, I thoroughly enjoyed both from the brewpub. I thought the hoppy Pale Ale and St. John's Stout were both wonderful. Wish we had a place like that in Moncton, I love the Pump House but their food is nothing to write home about.

I've never had the mummers brew, but I love YB's Fighting Irish Red and Whexford Wheat. I'd be interested in joining NEWF!

Re: Mummers Brew
Except for this months meeting, which is at 7 PM on the 9th in the underbelly of the Yellowbelly Brewery, all our meetings will be the first Wednesday of the month at 7 PM at the YB.
I might not be able to make it as I'm on call that night. That is, unless I'm not busy and can get someone to cover for me.
