E-Malt.com News article: USA, CO: Avery Brewing Co. launched Momi Hiwa

Avery Brewing Co. released the latest in its Barrel-Aged Series, Momi Hiwa, brewbound.com reported on June, 6.

Bottles are 12oz. and will be sold as singles at $10 each.

Adam Avery, the owner, released Momi Hiwa for one reason, “I wanted to make a beer that tastes like a liquid Mounds bar,” he said.

“Often high gravity beers are described as ‘dessert beers’ to be treated like a port or dessert wine, but Momi Hiwa goes past that. It is dessert. It’s all you need,” said Avery’s Chief Barrel Herder Andy Parker.

Pronounced “Mo-mee Hee-vah,” the name was inspired by Adam’s good friend Garrett Marrero of Maui Brewing Co. and his “Black Pearl”, a version of Maui’s CoCoNut Porter aged in rum barrels.
