MEW1 E34 Skookum Brewing Murder of Crows
Based in Arlington, WA, SKookum Brewing has a reputation for making some great beers in many different styles. This Oak Aged Stout called Murder of Crows is interesting because it wasn't barrel aged- rather, oak staves were soaked in the stout. The result is an interesting flavor profile- delicious for what it is and what it isn't. But you won't get all that information in the episode- Brian and Sarah just drink it and talk nonsense, as always!
