Against The Grain Olde LaMontavious

Olde LaMontavious is an “Old” or “Stock Ale” in reference to 19th century breweries that would age this style a full year before serving. Against the Grain’s take on the style obviously does not include the one year aging period, but we brewed our version with 1200# of high quality English Maris Otter barley malt and a generous amount of molasses to give some complex sweetness. Then we hopped liberally with English Nugget, Kent Goldings and American Cascade and fermented with a Scottish style yeast, resulting in a dark, rich and malty ale. Then right before serving we took this beer out on a chartered boat driven by Steve Guttenberg and had an alien from the planet Antarea (who looked a lot like Brian Dennehy) charge the entire batch with his life force. Since this only can happen once every 10,000 years make sure you drink this beer while you can.
