Sawdust City’s Long, Dark Voyage to Uranus makes LCBO debut in September
A long-time staple of the Sawdust City Brewing Co. lineup, its Long, Dark Voyage to Uranus Imperial Stout will set down on LCBO shelves this September.
The 9% ABV “Uranal” Imperial Stout boasts 77 IBUs and an extensive malt bill consisting of Canadian 2-row, Maris Otter, Crystal120, rye, Carahell, flaked barley, Carafa II, chocolate malt, dark chocolate malt, roasted barley, and demerara sugar. The hop lineup employs Magnum and Centennial.
“What’s in a name?”, asks Sawdust City, “Uranus by any other name would smell so sweet. That was written many eons ago by Toftorg Golshop, Ruler of the Third Empire of Uranus on one of his many voyages to earth (it was stolen and rewritten by “you know who” sometime later.”
The label goes on, “Designed to withstand the grueling voyage from Earth to Uranus, Long Dark Voyage is a Uranal stout of the highest order. Tongue crushingly bitter and dry as a bone, this dark chocolate treat is quite dangerous and will sneak up on your from behind if you don’t keep your wits about you.”
Long, Dark Voyage to Uranus will be available in 650 mL bottles retailing for $7.95 each beginning in September.
