Roasted Garlic Stout Coming Back to Radicle Effect Brewerks in Rock Island

Rich Nunez from Radicle Effect Brewerks joins Charlie Cole & Bill Stage to talk about the brew day mess up that created a super interesting beer.

He may have forgotten the hops at home...but made up for it with an ingenious ingredient.

Garlic!

A few brew runs later and they created the Roasted Garlic Stout which they've upleveled to a "car bomb" style with garlic/peppercorn vodka shot that makes it taste like a peppered steak.

Is your mouth watering yet? This beer taps on Thursday at Radicle Effect Brewerks in Rock Island!
