From the Brewer – “Up The Creek is mashed in at a low temperature to increase the amount of fermentable sugars while reducing residual sweetness. This creates a hoppy behemoth of a beer with its ABV well hidden under heavy layers of malt. UTC is designed to be dangerously drinkable, so use caution or you’ll be Up The Creek!.”
Food: The strong, breathtakingly hoppy echelons of this beer are really a meal in their own right. Entrees paired here should be toned down against this bold brew, selections can include smoked beef brisket, grilled lamb, Southern chicken-fried steak.
Cheese: Pair with sharp and rich American artisanal blue cheese varieties.
Dessert: This richly hopped and luxurious beer commands a delectable and sweet dessert pairing such as carrot cake, caramel cheesecake, crème brulee, rum raisin cake or toffee pudding.
