Burnt Timber Releases Double Shimmy Ya

Double Shimmy Ya…

“We are continuing to experiment and broaden our horizons with our beer and food while remaining true to our brand.”

Utilizing a technique new to Owner and Head Brewer Eddie Michno, Burnt Timber Brewing & Tavern has released Double Shimmy Ya (ABV 7.5%), a raw IPA featuring mosaic, el dorado, and columbus hops. “It’s a Norwegian farmhouse style of brewing where you don’t boil the beer, but raise it to pasteurization temperatures before fermentation, so it leaves a lot of body in the beer,” said Michno.

He said he drew his inspiration and knowledge of the beer from Reid McDonald, one of the principals of Odd Man Rush Brewing in Eagle River, Alaska, who recently visited New Hampshire.  “My wife Mara used to work for his family for years at their coffee shop while she was living in Eagle River,” he explained. “He sent some of their raw IPA out to us after he got back to Alaska.”

He described the experience of drinking their raw IPA as interesting. “It finished dry without a ton of residual sugar like many IPAs or higher alcohol beers,” he said. “Despite finishing dry, the body/mouth-feel that is left in the residual sugar is richer than most beers that finish dry.”

The release of Double Shimmy Ya underscores a busy late fall season for Burnt Timber, which saw the release of several new beers and a new menu. “We are continuing to experiment and broaden our horizons with our beer and food while still remaining true to our brand,” said Michno. “We look forward to surprising people this winter with our offerings designed to appeal to all ages, including families…Stop on by.”
