Yes! Another brewery is repping ATL and their brews
promise to be gangster!
Nope!
There can never be enough breweries in ATL, so I wholeheartedly
welcome Scofflaw to the scene. The whole crew including the head honchos—owner Matt Shirah and brewmaster
and co-founder Travis Herman—gave
me the VIP tour when they first began building at their goliath production 18,419
square-foot production site on Atlanta’s west side (1738 MacArthur Boulevard
NW, next to Crest Lawn Cemetery). The tasting room will be ready for action
soon too. I tasted a couple of their beers—an imperial IPA and imperial stout—and
was wowed by their quality back then, so I am hella excited to see what they’ve
done since!
According to
their official press release, it says, “Since 2014, Shirah and Herman have been
focused on research and development, using a laboratory to cultivate several
local yeast strains. These efforts have yielded approximately six beers.”
I list a quartet of their liquid beauties below complete with descriptions straight from the source, along with
where they are getting their pouring on Tuesday throughout Georgia’s capital.
Congrats Scofflaw
and welcome to one of the best beer scenes in the U.S.!
·
Basement IPA – A seriously juicy and tropical India Pale Ale (IPA) made with
organic citra hops, this IPA was created in Grammy's basement following an
argument about the differences in west and east coast beer. At the end of the
day, this is one of Scofflaw’s go-to beers.
·
Slim the Pale Ale – This beer is a well-balanced pale ale for people that know their
limits but have crossed the line before. It’s light – but not too thin – with
hints of passion fruit, pine, berry, citrus and faint floral tones.
·
Sneaky Wheat – Slightly cloudy and creamy, this imperial American wheat has a kick
that can sneak up on you. Made with coriander and orange, it presents its case
with light honey and spice aromas that match the moderately sweet flavors,
without focusing on a hop profile.
·
Westside IPA – Straight out of the brewmaster's arsenal, this brew is full of
caramel malt and hops. This beer presents itself as somewhat bitter with plenty
of hops, but not overkill.
