Peated Scotch Lager·Canada·8% ABV·One of 1 Peated Scotch Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Irori's malty and boozy character. A tribute to Greg Noonan, owner and head brewer of the Vermont Pub and Brewery for over twenty years, author of several standard works on brewing and a mentor to Godspeed's brewmaster. The beer combines three of Noonan's preoccupations in one recipe: scotch ale, lager and smoked malt. It runs at 8%. Noonan died in 2009; the brewery made the beer with his family's agreement.
