Monday Night Brewing Brewmaster Peter Kiley Talks Fistful of Cake

Monday Night Brewing Brewmaster Peter Kiley Talks Fistful of Cake

We spoke with Monday Night Brewing Brewmaster Peter Kiley about Fistful of Cake.

BC: Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
This one was me.

BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer?
I really love how flexible the base is to secondary infusion treatments. So much can be built when you start with a strong foundation. In fact, we’re planning to use the base for more Fistful of Cake variants. A chocolate/orange variant is available now with more variants planned in the future.

BC: Is this your “desert island beer?”
It’s been 95 degrees and humid in Atlanta for the past couple of weeks, which has replicated a desert island. I’d probably pass on this one. However, if you’re talking Dessert Island – I’m absolutely in.

BC: Do you know a story – or have a personal story – that revolves around this beer?
My wife (Rachel Kiley, Monday Night Brewing’s VP of Operations) and I love to watch the Great British Baking Show together. I’ve actually gleaned a lot of different flavor combinations from it – ones that I might not have thought of before. I believe that without the show - or my wife - the beer would not exist today. 

BC: What's a good food pairing for this beer?
Whatever you want. Life is short. Have your Cake and eat/drink it too!
