Days of the Beer, August 29

The beer for today is Lagunitas Imperial Red Ale.

On August 29, 1991, the Supreme Soviet suspended all activities of the Soviet Communist Party. The Communist Party of the Soviet Union had been in existence from January 1912 to 1991. The absolution established all those little countries in Eastern Europe that used to be part of USSR.

As for the beer:

This Special Ale is, in reality, a reconstructed exhumation of the very first ale that we ever brewed way, way back, in 1993. Brewed with a big head, a muscular malty thorax, a silky texture & all strung together with a hoppy sweet nerve sack... yum. O.G. 1.072 84.2 IBU.
I don't think it's still around... but then, neither is the Soviet Communist Party.
