Days of the Beer, March 9

The beer for today is Sun King Brewing Company, Notorious IBU.

On March 9, 1997, Christopher George latore Wallace died. He was known as Big Poppa, The Black Frank White, Biggie Smalls, and primarily The Notorious B.I.G.

Wallace was born May 21, 1972, and was killed by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles.

As to the beer:

Style: Imperial India Brown Ale

The Notorious IBU is an Imperial India Brown Ale. While not technically a 'real' style of beer, it is our way of blurring stylistic guidelines, creating something new and having fun with at what we do!

Notorious packs a big, rich malt flavor that is complimented by heavy doses of American citrus hops. At 9% it's sure to put the smack down on your ass!

Sun King is out of Indiana. The beer has 97 IBU. This was a one time brew, but if it's like the Notorious B.I.G., the Notorious IBU will reach platinum status only after it's gone.

So, for the B.I.G., have an I.B.U.
