Get a Share of Moody Tongue's Black Truffle Pilsner
Jared Rouben's Moody Tongue Brewing has created something very rare and special indeed: a beer loaded with black truffles.
The Shaved Black Truffle Pilsner is brewed with Austrialian black truffles from Truffle & Wine Co.
"We used more truffle than I have ever had the opportunity to use before -- or, for that matter, more than I have ever seen in a kitchen," Rouben said in an email. "The truffle was not just 'infused' per se, and there are no truffle oils in the beer. I used several different techniques throughout the brewing process to incorporate and showcase the truffle flavor and aromatics."
Five hundred 22-ounce bottles will be sold via an online lottery this Friday, Nov. 14. From 10am to 3pm, enter your name and email address on the site. Names will then be chosen at random and offered the opportunity to buy one bottle for $120. A few additional bottles will be made available in December at a few area restaurants, including Grace, GT Fish & Oyster, RPM Italian and RPM Steak.
