Hardywood’s Ginger Bread Stout is brewed only once a year and a limited supply is created. Here’s some of what we wrote about the sweet-sweet sauce from a post last fall:
That same year, the new brewers sent the GBS out to Beer Advocate, where it received a perfect 100/100 score. The brewers though it was a fluke, but when the GBS won bronze at the World Beer Cup, they knew they had something unique.
Murtaugh stands behind the glowing bar of the Hardywood tasting room. “I think that unique ginger flavor and wildflower honey really comes through,” said Murtaugh, talking about the locally sourced ingredients used to make the GBS. Hardywood prides itself on using local products.
Honey from Louisa County Bearer Farms, baby Hawaiian Ginger from Casselmonte Farms in Powhatan, and finally Vietnamese Cinnamon from Carytown’s Penzey Spices – all of these pieces come together to form the beautiful puzzle that is the GBS.
There’s not much else to say here, except if you want, you can have it for $60 – there’s actually a theory that getting a bottle of this dark brew and sitting on it for a year allows it to mature, possibly mellowing some of the sweet flavor and boosting the ABV.
Maybe this is your chance to find out.
PS – this guy might be violating ABC law, but we’re not here to comment on that.
