Chai Addict's beer collab with Mountain Goat and Garage Project
Brewed with Garage Project and Chai Addict, this beer is a magic bus ride to planet flavour. Hop aboard!
The idea for this collaboration came from a chat between our brewer Alana Rees and Garage Project’s Pete Gillespie during Good Beer Week 2017. After nearly two years of trying to get everyone together, this beer was never going to be done by halves. Following much deliberation we landed on a chai-infused imperial milk stout, with habanero and home-grown ghost chilies thrown in for an extra kick.
The smooth, velvety stout provides the perfect base for Chai Addict’s Masala Chai concentrate, which provides delicious layers of spice that blend into a pleasant prickly heat on the finish from the chilies.
