About the Brew
About the Brewer:
Ian, Overnight Brewing Technician here at Lakefront, brewed this Cherry Cordial Stout. While most of the Central Time Zone rests their weary heads, Ian juggles three simultaneous brews: one leaving the boil kettle, one in the mash tun, and one as dry malts ready for milling. All while measuring critical beer specs every step of the way.
When he’s not queuing up specialty malts for the next brew, find Ian behind his turntables, cuing up the next track. Ian loves—after his wife and four cats, of course—DJing, records, and all things Hip-Hop. Outside, Ian still finds time to skateboard, vowing to one day land the cleanest frontside flip.
About the Beer:
Ian wanted a desserty brew to taste like the cherry cordials he enjoyed as a kid while visiting his grandma’s house. He also wanted to make a My Turn that hadn’t been done yet. Normally an IPA guy, and at Turn #60, he knew he’d have to venture out of his normie zone.
Lucky for us, Ian’s comfortable anywhere. So, make like Ian and get comfortable with this Cherry Cordial Stout. Expect a dark pour with a tan head, ample aromas of cold-brew coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt, then moving into flavors of tart cherries and a sweet finish.
