Founders Brewing was kind enough to send me a badass gift set of MAS AGAVE.
That is changing thanks to our friends at Founders Brewing based out of Grand Rapids Michigan.
We talk a lot about cocktails and spirits, I mean obviously, because I am The Tipsy Gypsy. Cocktails are full of inspired flavors from fruits, vegetables, candies and more. But one thing I feel like we don’t see enough of is cocktail-inspired beer.
What’s MAS AGAVE you ask? Founders started a barrel-aged series of beer and this is the third installment.
Their master brewer has had access to your typical used whiskey barrels but wanted to go a different route and was inspired by the classic cocktail – The Margarita.
This beer is aged in tequila barrels and picks up the citrusy limes, slight sweetness of a margarita, but still has the body of a beer. It’s so light and refreshing, and yet packs a 10% ABV.
This is the most unique “beer-ita” I have ever tasted. I Iced down the bottles and opened them live this week on Bar Side Jive. DC is a big fan of mescal and tequila so I saved these especially for our beer chat on Tuesdays Tipsy Gypsy segment.
Did I mention the matching label and packaging is exciting and beautiful? Its inspired by the culture and Day Of The Dead including symbolic images like the Monarch Butterfly said to have the spirits visit you.
This was a beautiful gift sent by Founders Brewing and perfect for our conversation of the current trend of alcohol-delivery. You can find this in 48 states in 12oz and 750Ml bottles. Expect the 4th installment in the barrel aged series to hit in September!
