Cha Shao Bao

Did somebody order dim sum? We teamed up with our friends at Heroes Beer Co in HK to brew a Honey Amber Ale based on the classic dish Chaoshaobao (BBQ pork buns). Following the traditional recipe, we brewed with a big bundle of mantou in the mash, an ample dose of local honey, five spices, and red koji rice for color. The result is a mouthwatering spiced ale that ends with a smooth, sweet finish.
