In honor of the Israel Day Parade in which two of my children marched and Yom Yerushalaim, this week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Shapiro Oatmeal Stout.
This is another of the beers that I picked up in January on Agrippas Street outside of Shuk Machane Yehuda where I mixed a four pack of non IPAs and Pale Ales. The brand has a label with a lion (Jerusalem symbol) and they bill themselves as Jerusalem Beer on their website http://en.shapirobeer.co.il/OurBeer
This beer poured a satisfying dark brown with some tan foam, although it was not overwhelming. The carbonation was slight, but when you are drinking a stout the carbonation (or lack thereof) is not all that important. This beer was rich and dark and a bit chalky and everything I look for in an Oatmeal Stout. At 5.2% abv the beer is slightly low on the alcohol scale, but it did not lack for body or taste.
The Shapiro Oatmeal Stout is under the Rabbanut of Bet Shemesh and there is a hashgacha on the back of the bottle. To see what the experts on Beer Advocate think about the Shapiro Oatmeal Stout (yes, it is reviewed on BA), click here https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/36568/142328.
As always, please remember to drink responsibly and to never waste good beer unless there is no designated driver.
