Profile

Sloop Brewing began when Adam Watson and Justin Taylor got together a small self-brewing setup, preparing beer and selling it at the local farmer’s markets of the Hudson Valley. Success has come quickly for the duo, with the opening of a production facility in 2014 and then their brew-pub opening in the abandoned IBM plant at East Fishkill in 2018. The pair named their company for the boats that moved up and down the Hudson, ferrying people and trade goods, which led to the explosive growth of the east coast. In the same spirit, their brewing talents connect people and business now, and their beer is spreading across the country. With over a dozen craft beers, many of them part of a unique brew series, Sloop is putting out quality that crosses all styles and tastes. Das Jägermeister is a collaboration between Sloop and the liquor itself - using choice botanicals from Jägermeister’s own recipe, this is a one-of-a-kind pale ale. Serves well at 8°C and should be enjoyed promptly.

Look

Pours a dark yellow with a hazy body and low carbonation. A thin layer of small, frothy bubbles rests on top of the glass.

Smell

There’s a funky tone that takes over nearly every other aroma and hints strongly of anise but with an earthy, clay mixed in. There’s not much else going on for the nose but a touch of citrus.

Taste

Quite mild flavour for an IPA and almost nothing of the nose seems to come through on the palate. Slightly sweet, fruity flavour that tastes of mangos with a hint of citrus. Some floral and herbal qualities (most likely coming from our friends at Jagermeister) but it all mixes together pleasantly. A tasty beer, but not entirely what you might expect from this collaboration.

Pairing

Juicy pulled pork sandwich with tangy BBQ sauce!
