Juli Goldenberg/Monkey Paw/Stone 24 Carrot Golden Ale
Several Stone Homebrew Competition winners have deftly incorporated culinary touches, but Juli Goldenberg’s triumphant 2015 recipe just might be the most foodie-forward of this blue-ribbon bunch. A Belgian-style golden strong ale proved to be the ideal canvas for decadent, creamy carrot cake-inspired flavors brought on by…yup…carrots as well as cinnamon, vanilla, milk sugar and raisins. For the third collaborator, Juli chose one whose palate-pleasing flair extends to the plates at its own pub: Monkey Paw Brewing Company. Beginning Monday, the beer will start arriving at retailers, bars and restaurants in 22-ounce bottles and on draft.
