Drink of the Week: Hazelwood Brewing Company’s Comfort Monk Smoothie Sour

Now Comfort Monk, Dear Blanca and Stagbriar have all teamed up with Hazelwood Brewing Company for this lusciously fruity beer. Made with black currant, Madagascar vanilla, milk sugar, and — from the taste of it — an absolute ton of boysenberry, this one is a smooth song of a beer. There really is so much boysenberry flavor up front that when it combines with the smoothness provided by the milk sugar it reminds you of a big bite of pie. It’s simultaneously a terrific summer sendoff and a welcome to the cooler fall.

And if just being a great beer wasn’t enough, profits from all sales go toward the bands. It’s tough times for artists out there with very little live show income, so this is a swell move on the part of everyone involved. And all you have to do to help is buy some tasty beer.
