Obamanator on tap at the Brewhouse in Santa Barbara
On 20th January 2009, Barack Hussein Obama became the 44th President of the United States. In his honor, Pete released the long awaited Obamanator dark Lager.
The Obamanator is a Munich Dunkel type Lager. It was brewed a few weeks ago, just before Christmas, using a mixture of Pilsner and Munich malts. Also used were Santiam hops, the world’s first naturally seedless Tettnang-type hop. The Santiam hop is said to be a hybrid of German Tettnanger, Hallertauer Mittelfrüh, and an American hop (some sources say Cascade). It is considered to be a good American-grown hop to use in German-style lagers.
While this dark lager would be filtered across the pond, this one was kept unfiltered, with a nice body and a rich flavor. The Obamanator is now on tap for Barbeerians and others to enjoy. Headbrewer Pete describes it as “Dark & Smooth” and adds: “This brew represents change we can believe in!”.
Cheers to that!!
