Bay City Brewing Co. released its two newest beers: In My Younger Haze and Coffee Milk Stout on Nitro.
As the second Bay City, hazy-style IPA, In My Younger Haze uses traditional Conan yeast that accentuates the citrus-fruit character of new age hops Citra and Mosaic. Head Brewer Chris West says the yeast is popular because it creates a full-bodied beer in which peach and lime-flavored yeast works well with the modern hops. This beer has the kick of a hazy IPA with a subtle fruit twist at 7.3 percent alcohol by volume.
Adding a sweeter option to the brewery’s beer selection, Coffee Milk Stout on Nitro is a 6.3 alcohol by volume dark ale with a creamy white top. The roasted malts add a dark chocolate flavor that balance the sweetness of the lactose sugar. Specialty malts add notes of graham cracker as Guatemala and Sumatra blends from Bird Rock Coffee Roasters give an earthy flavor. The nitro element adds creaminess at the finish to balance the robust flavors.
Coffee Milk Stout On Nitro was released today (5/10) and In My Younger Haze on Friday (5/12).
