The polyphonic Womad beer
Just when you think those creative and kooky craft brewers had reached the limits of what they could subject a simple beer to, they come up with something else.
And shucks, this new Garage Project beer brewed in partnership with the Womad festival will have you wondering why no one thought of it before.
After all, your batty-as-pancake-mix
Uncle Brian has been playing Mozart to his tomato plants for years and his beefsteaks are so big they look like red pumpkins.
Surely someone would have thought to do the same for beer before now.
Of course they may have, but it took those Wellington OG brewers to build it into their marketing for a concoction they subjected to “world music” throughout the entirety of the brewing process.
And entirety is not a word used lightly. Those capital hops hounds even lowered a submersible speaker into the the vat to ensure not a single yeast spore could escape their fat beats.
It’s enough to make you LOL and that’s before you’ve even had a glass of the appropriately-named World Resonance Harmonic Hazy IPA.
Harmonic Hazy IPA is on the thicker side of the hazy definition and that’s probably because it was all shook up by that “polyphonic twist” immersion speaker belting out world music.
Now “world music” is a bit of a catch-all phrase and really gives no indication of the type of music the beer actually heard, though it’s a safe bet it was heavy on the bongos.
Despite that presumed bass beat giving the beer a soupy appearance that might indicate a gravelly taste akin to Tibetan throat singing, it is surprisingly more like a cat pawing at a harpsichord.
It gently tinkles across your taste buds, leaving so little behind you are relieved of the common craft beer burden of reaching for a thesaurus to explain what is happening in your mouth.
Which is useful, particularly when the beer is designed to be consumed at a world class festival that is already overstimulating your other senses.
