LOOK..another NEW beer… Cape Cod Common…Not so common at all!
Quietly and without a lot of fanfare, another new beer was released at Cape Cod Beer on 3.24
Style: Common Beer
Description: “Common Beer” was originally brewed for the working class. First produced in the mid-19th century-this style is known for its clarity, and refreshing nature. Cape Cod Common is a mash-up (pun intended) of an ale and a Lager. We pitched Lager yeast and fermented it at a higher temp-like an ale. Our take on this old school American style is crisp and easy to drink. Flavors of biscuit are tucked into the background-with a subtle, but present hop aroma and flavor.
OG: 8.8 ABV: 5.9% IBU’s:32
Malts:Pilsner, Vienna, Crystal 45 and Victory Hops:Northern Brewer
Food Pairing: Roasted vegetables, roasted meat, Tabouli Salad, Sunshine.
