pFriem Family Brewers Brewmaster & Co-Founder Josh Pfriem Talks Mexican Chocolate Stout

We spoke with pFriem Family Brewers Brewmaster & Co-Founder Josh Pfriem about Mexican Chocolate Stout.

Who was responsible for this beer’s recipe?
This beer has been a team effort to build over the last couple of years, but our Lead Blender, Kyle Krause, has been leading the charge on the nuance of this beer. 

What sets this beer apart from other examples within the style?
We want this beer to give a nod towards the pastry stout realm, but it is important to us that it still drinks like a beer and is not too cloying or sweet. We also work with our local spice importer Arome in Hood River, Oregon to get super-fresh spices and dried peppers for this beer. 

What makes this beer truly World Class?
Like all of our beers at pFriem we dedicate time, attention, continuous improvement and quality to make sure that we are creating the beers we want to make as well as what the beer drinker deserves. 

What is your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, mouthfeel, etc.)?
The combination of fresh spice, heat and a creamy mouthfeel makes this beer a special experience. 

How popular is this beer among your faithful fans?
It has a strong following when we release it in late fall/winter!
