COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The new beer series created for Two Stones Pubs in Newark, Wilmington, and Kennett Square by 16 Mile Brewery in Georgetown, Delaware.

Two Stones commitment to building and educating the customer on the craft revolution has made them one of the top beer gastro pubs on the East Coast. 16 Mile Brewery’s growing reputation for highly rated core and limited edition brews has continued to grow rapidly with this 5 year-old brand. These two companies have helped build Delaware’s reputation as one of the nation’s best beer states. It was only a matter of time before the two stories would meet in a great beer.

The beginning of 2014 saw the meeting that lead to a beer created by 16 Mile for Two Stones that would come out quarterly. We took our highly rated Inlet I.P.A. and created a lighter version that would weigh in at 4.5% ABV, yet all the hops, so a hot new style of what is called Session I.P.A. Then--a unique twist--we decided to put in seasonal ingredients for each quarter’s story. The base beer is the same but each season would get its own flavor on top of it, and would come out on the 16th of the month.

MileStones, Batch #1 We added Irish Whisky since it was coming out in March right next to St. Pat’s Day. To be fair and maybe pay tribute to troubles past, we put equal amount of Jameson, the Catholic whisky, and Bushmills the Protestant whisky, and aged them on American Oak. As a final touch, we added 60 pounds of fresh, Delaware honey to pay tribute to our Spring coming with the birds and bees, after a long cold winter.

At two stones, Milestones Batch #1. Pour was golden to hazy yellow, thin head, weak lacing. Aroma of herbal and citrus hops. Flavor follows, some caramel in the profile, maybe some musty malts too. Earthy. Mouthfeel was moderate for the style, lingering bitterness in the finish. Still prefer a full IPA over this, but a nice refreshing flavor overall. OK stuff.

Tap, 2 Stones Pub, Newark. Clear copper body with a small fizzy white head. The nose is light citrusy hops with a slightly sweet caramel malt base. A little toasty and husky malts as well. The flavor is pretty bitter for the nose being so light. Lots of bitter grapefruit pith and piney hops. There’s a bit of a dry tannic woodiness on the finish. Not getting much of any whiskey at all. Fairly dry toasty and caramel malt backbone. Lighter bodied with fizzy prickly carbonation. Maybe a touch thin, but overall ok.
