…and Furthermore, Knot Stock rocks!
Furthermore Knot Stock available at the Blatz Market & Liquor
So as I was standing in front of the 150 or so different micro, craft and imported beers I have, I was presented with a tough decision. What beer should I write about? Then I came to a beer I had never tried before so I figured, new store… new beer… Perfect! So I grabbed my bottle opener and popped the top off of a “Furthermore Knot Stock”
This particular beer caught my attention for a very simple reason, “Beer brewed with black pepper” was written just below Knot Stock. After opening it I didn’t notice a very strong aroma of pepper which was a relief, so I took my first sip, and it tasted like beer! I know what your all thinking… “great review Joe” or “gee thanks” or something along those lines. HOWEVER! The hint of pepper corn really only gets you on the back of the tongue as the beer finishes. Furthermore (I had to slip it in somewhere) the pepper flavor is not overpowering or obnoxious — it’s just the right amount to perfectly compliment that great steak your going to eat with it.
I would definitely recommend this Wisconsin original, its a great beer to accompany a steak, burger or obviously anything “pepper crusted.” I can’t wait to review their “3 Feet Deep” and “Oscura” both of which I have as well, but I think next week it will be something from the “Rush River Brewing Company”, another Wisconsin brew!
