Huss to tap seasonal Rice Pudding Porter on Saturday

Huss Brewing will tap its seasonal Rice Pudding Porter on Saturday at the south Tempe brewery’s taproom.

The beer kinda snuck onto the scene last November because the brewery was so new, but it grew quite popular by the time it ran out in March.

The spiced porter is brewed with vanilla beans, brown rice syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. It clocked in at 5% ABV last year, and may be a touch above that this year, brewer Jeff Huss says.

Like last year, Huss brewed a single 34-barrel batch.

After its Saturday release, the beer eventually will roll out on draft at accounts throughout the Valley.

Asked what’s coming next from the brewey, Huss says he’s toying with the idea of Citra-based double IPA. Stay tuned…
