Piperworks Lives in the Past with Lebowski Beer
It's hard to know how many who follow this blog are fans of The Big Lebowski. The movie was released to mostly lackluster reviews and theater attendance in 1998. It has since become a cult classic that has spawned Lebowski fests all over the place. Say what you will about the movie...it has created an ethos.
If you look around the internet you'll find all sorts of Lebowski schwag. Some urban achievers in a Chicago brewery, Piperworks, took this to heart and brewed a beer that pays homage to the movie. This is pretty recent and, frankly, I'm surprised no one did it earlier. A beer connected to The Big Lebowski could really tie a brewery together.

That's cool man! Lebowski beer is a worthy fucking effort.
I reserve judgement on the merits of a "white russian imperial milk stout".
Must be good to get past the league office.

Fuckin' eh! I should suggest that the Dudely Lama carry it in the Dudeism store.
Far out!
I don't think there's a beer on this green earth I won't try at least once! Wish I could get a bottle... Or six
Aw man, I gotta get me one of these! Those brewers are my compeers.
Fuckin' eh, dudes!
Tasty sounding shit! Love the name of it - one of my favorite lines from the film!
"White Russian Imperial Milk Stout" coming in at a solid "10.5% ABV."
Yeah, that could be pretty good. I love Russians, Imperials, Russian Imperials, and Cream Stouts, all. The coffee-ish flavor of a white russian would also be compatible with the style. And what's not to like about 10.5% booze? If they used a couple vanilla pods soaked in vanilla, this - dudes - could be a thing worthy of sacramental* status.
*Sacramental in the sense of epic, full of awesomosity, and compatible with the, uh, general ethos around here, man. Not sacramental in "thou must (or must not) do this or have untoward things occur to thy loved ones."
