Star Wars Brew

[thekraken]

So I think we need to come up with a star wars inspired brew. What style would they have drank a long time ago in a galaxy far, far way?

Ideas?

Maybe a light side pale ale and a dark side stout?

 

[geoffm33]

I like where this is going....

Edit to add: Here is a search results from the Wookieepedia:

[TBC]

How about an ipa with millennium and falconers flight hops.

Jawa beer and Kashyykan bitter berry beer could be intersting options. Though I'm not sure where I'd get bantha hide.

So millennium for bittering, falconers for aroma, some kind of berry in the secondary and we have the perfect chewbacca beer! We need to investigate further.

 

[Sailingeric]

I have made up labels before to label some of my beer for my Star War friends

 

[Apocalptus]

These guys made a Star Wars based Schwarzbier: https://untappd.com/b/something-brewing-dark-side/667301
You would need the ability to lager though.

 

[thekraken]

Haha, "I Have a Bad Feeling About This" double IPA is a great name

Edit: "It's a trap" triple IPA even better

 

[Aristotelian]

Mos Eisley needs a lager for those hot summer days on Tatooine. Probably with some weird exotic fruit mixed in.

How about Star Destroyer Imperial Stout for a big bad beer?

 

[Homercidal]

BB8

Just like regular 8, but Bourbon Barrel!

 

[Homercidal]

"That's Impossible" ale.


Oops, sorry, that's a whine.

"Obi-Wan Kenobi warned Luke Skywalker that he’d never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than Mos Eisley spaceport, and he was right."

I'm thinking farmhouse ale or a sour?

"It's a Trappist!"

 

[sudbuddy]

This is brilliant. I especially like the light side/dark side idea. Maybe this is a good opportunity for a white stout

 

[BrewerBrad82]

Toppling Goliath has Light Speed, which used to be named Millenium Falcon (Im sure Lucasfilms put the kabosh on that)

http://www.tgbrews.com/beer.html#light

Found this too, although Im pretty sure its not a commercial beer.

Best call it a light stout or something so as not to be confused with these #boycottstarwarsvii morons.

 

[DemonsRun]

Empire Brewing made "Strikes Bock"

was sued by Lucas films

[Sailingeric]

I have one more on my computer at home, it has the picture of a crispy Uncle Owen called Tatooine Smoked Porter

Better to contact a benedicting monastery and have them release "It's A Trap!" as a Trappist Trippel

 

[thekraken]

We don't want to infringe on Lucas film's merchandising opportunities.

 

[Homercidal]

I've been meaning to make a light beer and label it as "Liquid Schwartz" for years now.

I should get off my duff and do it.

 

[JonM]

Some others I heard, but which are the creation of more clever folks than myself:

"That's No Blue Moon, it's a Space Saison"

and

Rancor Steam.

EDIT: I'll be damned. I looked up the old thread. I DID come up with Rancor Steam. Here's the rest of the thread.

The more I think about it the more I'm liking the idea of a Tatooine Farmhouse Ale. But that will have to wait for this summer... Right now I'm leaning toward an Imperial Destroyer Stout, but that also seems like it's too late to brew. Something deserving of that name would need to age before next winter.

Even worse, it's the Mouse's merchandising now!

This was mine.

Death's Tar - a Galactic Imperial Stout

 

[1977Brewer]

Sarlacc Wit

 

[TheCADJockey]

I didn't want to sub to this and the mess that will surely ensue but... I'll bite. To go along with the light/dark side idea, a pair to make black & tans would be sexy.

 

[Homercidal]

A Honey ale containing a Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy.

 

[sudbuddy]

Death's Tar - a Galactic Imperial Stout

That one's taken. It's a bourbon barrel RIS that Revolution Brewing in Chicago makes in their Deep Wood series. It's named after their head honcho, Josh Deth, and it's called Deth's Tar. Great minds think alike I guess

 

[Indian_villager]

How about an ipa with millennium and falconers flight hops.

Austin Homebrew makes a kit that is just this. They call it the millennium falconer.

 

[Homercidal]

The Imperial Strikes Black.

Probably already been done.

How about a Hotheweizen?

Alederaan?

Mos Eisbock?

Bib Fortuna (nothing to do with beer, I just like the name...)

 

[thekraken]

Alright, lets formulate something.

@Homercidal - The Imperial Strikes Black - An imperial black IPA(/cascadian dark ale/whatever you want to call it)?

Anyone have a good base recipe for a bipa?

 

[JonM]

Apologies to the person whose photo I stole, but is this Alderaan Ale?

Perhaps we could do a "Big Brew Day" type event every May 4th with the chosen recipe?

Lol

This joke didn't hit me until about 5 minutes later while I was doing something else. I had just assumed you were legitimately asking a question. I either need my morning coffee or it's time for Star Wars marathon.

@geoffm33 - That's a cool idea. But we should get some stuff ready for the movie release too.

 

[Newsman]

We need to do an eisbock -- call it Iced Han or something like that, in memory of Han Solo frozen in Carbonite.

 

[Homercidal]

We could do a CDA (Calrissian Dark Ale). It would be dark, but smooth. And strong like a Malt Liquor!

 

[JonM]

Would it work every time?

Billy says it does.
