A Note on This Beer

“Asheville is the city with the most breweries per capita in America… One such brewery that clearly stands out — Burial Beer Co.”

Well put, Colin Hubbel of Southern Kitchen! North Carolina’s craft scene has exploded over the past several years, but Burial is one name I keep reaching for in the sea of suds. And, after trying today’s beers, I’m glad I do! 

That’s right – I said “beers.” Today, you get TWO Burial creations to taste their range!

First up is Contrition. Don’t be fooled by the bright, sunny appearance or easygoing 4.8% ABV – this beauty is a Kellerbier. The rarely-seen style is anything but easy to craft, let alone master!

Contrition boasts soft, rounded flavors of fresh-made biscuits thanks to a decoction of 100% German Pilsner malts. Kellerbiers call for more aggressive hopping than other Euro styles, which the Burial team achieved in the whirlpool with Grungeist, Saaz, and Hallertau Blanc, adding nuances of lemongrass, citrus peel, and elderflower.

True to style, the brewers cold lagered the brew, left it unfiltered, and canned it relatively early in its maturity. Any miscalculation during the entire process would come right to the crisp, drinkable surface at the end, but the Burial folks nailed it! 

To really understand how well Burial stands out, you’ll want to taste one of their hopbombs, too. Today, that’s one of their latest releases — Gang of Blades Double IPA. 

In addition to their house yeast blend, these brewers used a collage of Citra, El Dorado, Idaho 7, and Centennial Hops, plus extra-potent Incognito and Cryo versions to really take the bold pine and drippy tropical fruit flavors to eleven.

Gang of Blades is 8.3% ABV. It’s quenching, resinous, and delectably hop-forward. And, just like Contrition Kellerbier, it’s from Burial Beer Co. ‘Nuff said. 

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

Probably one of the best Pilsners I’ve had. Nice malt on the nose and up front. Crisp hop finish comes in perfectly at the end. I wish this was a local beer I could keep stocked.

Best pils I've ever had. Most taste pissy to me, this one doesn't. It would be a great, light, summertime beer.

Dank, earthy nose. Pours golden w/decent head. Mouthfeel is clean. Flavor profile is subtle, but enough bready-earthy-hoppy, yet still easy going & crisp.

Daily corona battle. NFL draft? edition. See Burial, buy Burial. Perfect example. Don’t love many pils, love this. Lemony, buscuity, crushable and oh so clean. Just pure throughout. Terrific.

This Pils is cloudy, as stated, and full of body. Does not have the crispness I’m used to in a Pils but the citrusy flavors are evident and hoppy flavor stands out.

You can taste the bready, malty, flavors definitive of a German Pilsner. I’m so glad I bought this but wish I had more. A fine kellerbier! Reviewed live at twitch.tv/brewedforgaming.
