Kilowatt Biere du Monde Chicory Coffee Milk Stout<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From the Beer Writer: <\/strong>While it\u2019s been an honor to help raise some money for a worthy cause through this year\u2019s Beer to the Rescue<\/a> <\/strong>campaign, there have been plenty of fun elements as well. Chief among them has been working with San Diego County breweries to come up with more outlandish beer offerings, proceeds of which help out the Lupus Foundation of Southern California<\/strong><\/a>. Thanks to the openness of such artisanal interests, I have been able to not only suggest flavorful ingredients I\u2019ve always wanted to experience in beers, but also taste them in the finished product. The most recent Beer to the Rescue brew, Biere Du Monde from Kearny Mesa\u2019s Kilowatt Brewing Co.<\/strong><\/a> takes that company\u2019s skill at crafting dark ales, and combines it with the flair and flavor of one of my favorite places\u2014New Orleans, Louisiana (NOLA). As a frequenter of the Crescent City, I love taking a wrought iron seat at a confectionery sugar-coated table at the French Quarter’s Cafe du Monde<\/strong><\/a>, sipping caf\u00e9 au lait and downing fresh-fried beignets. French roast Caf\u00e9 du Monde coffee laced with chicory adds extra roastiness and a touch of spice akin to black pepper to this English-style milk stout. And thanks to Kilowatt\u2019s relationship with the Louziana Food Truck<\/strong><\/a>, the beer can be enjoyed with fresh beignets and other Cajun\/Creole delicacies at its debut event starting at 5 p.m. TODAY<\/strong> at the brewery\u2019s tasting room (7576 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, Kearny Mesa)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

From the Brewer: <\/strong>\u201cBiere Du Monde is a special-release milk stout representing the caf\u00e9 au lait in true New Orleans style.\u00a0For those of you not familiar with Caf\u00e9 Du Monde\u2019s version of the caf\u00e9 au lait, this preferred NOLA variation is bold coffee brewed with chicory root and served with hot milk.\u00a0The practice of brewing the chicory-blended coffee was started by the French during their civil war when faced with a coffee shortage. Kilowatt co-owner Rachel Fischer<\/strong> designed the beer recipe and included a balanced dose of toasted, roasted, caramel and honey malts along with the addition of Caf\u00e9 du Monde’s chicory-blended coffee. Her idea was to incorporate enough honey, caramel and toasted malts so the beer would mimic how the robust flavors of the NOLA-style caf\u00e9 au lait complement the sweetness of beignets and pralines, two common accompaniments often paired with the drink.\u201d\u2014Steve Kozyk, Co-owner, Kilowatt Brewing Co.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
