Exactly a year ago, I made a troop out to this Cumming,
Georgia-based brewery named Cherry Street Brewing Cooperative and was welcomed with open arms. It was a pleasure trying
their delicious brews and hearing the motivating stories on how they got started.
Trust me, it was a quite a process, but with their dedication, politicking, determination
and devoted friends in their corner, everything paid off. A really big shout
out goes out to Boss Man Jonny Bradley, plus inventive brewers Johnny Bradley and Dan
Reingold for being instrumental is adding another great beer establishment to
Georgia’s portfolio.
Below is information direct from Nick regarding the “little” anniversary party Cherry Street is throwing at their brewery tonight featuring some classic
brews, new releases, and seasonals for those in attendance to sip. Oh yeah, and
limited edition t-shirts are available for sale as well. Give 'em a call for any questions at (770) 205-5512. They usually close at 10 pm but tonight may be different.
Cheers!
Anniversary Ales: Try All Three for $12
12.12.12 – 12
percent ABV
12 Malts 12 Hops
12% Aged for 12 Months
Since we were officially approved for legal brewing on
December 12, 2012, we decided to make a beer to commemorate this joyous
occasion. This barleywine has 12 different malts, included 21% Rye malt, 12
different hops, and weighs in at 12%. This will be a yearly beer release. Yes
you guessed, on December 12th every year.
Balzac the
Invincible – 9.5% ABV
Bourbon Barrel Aged
Russian Imperial Stout with Coffee & Chocolate
The brewers may consider this the Holy Grail of beers
brewed so far in 1 year. A rich and complex stout aged for 6 months in a George
Dickel Whisky Barrel with copious amounts of chocolate and Sumatran Coffee. A
better Breakfast Stout.
Oak Aged Dylan’s
Dubbel – 7.5%
Our friends up at Troy & Sons Moonshine in Asheville,
NC gave us a barrel to have fun with. We decided to age our Pub Favorite in it.
After 3 months, what we got is a wonderfully enhanced Dylan’s with excellent
oak and vanilla character and a nice warming finish.
Seasonal Brews
Naughty or Spice
Saison – 6.2%
Fundraiser: Special Olympics Forsyth County
Special Olympics Forsyth County has been here locally for
over 20 years. They conduct many events throughout the year; including the
Battle of the Bats in September and a 5k Run in November. This beer is our
favorite beer throughout the year. We took our Dirty Frenchman Belgian Saison
and added Colorado Spruce Tips to create a wonderfully aromatic and spicy Winter
Belgian Ale.
D.E.C.O.S – 8.2%
Double Espresso Chocolate Oatmeal Stout
This beer is brewed with plenty of locally roasted
coffee, ample amounts of imported dark chocolate, and oats to create a
deliciously, decadent beer that you won’t forget.
Belgian Dark
Strong – 8.8%
This full bodied Belgian Dark Strong has great malt
complexity and an elevated ABV with intense notes of dates, figs, and currants,
which come from using a yeast from the Trappist monasteries of Belgium. A great
Winter Warmer Belgian Ale.
Harvest Series
Chief Sawnee’s
Stash Coconut Porter – 6%
Back by Popular Demand! We take our Sawnee Mtn. Porter
and add toasted coconut flakes, caramelized dates, and fresh vanilla bean to
the fermentation. A Must Have!
710 Experimental Series
Hoppy Balboa vs.
Apollo Green Double IPA – 8.8%
This heavy weight contender weighs in at 8.8% and packs a
punch. Smack full of Apollo, Summit, Falconer’s, and Citra hops. Great tropical
notes all the way through.
