A Note on This Beer

Dude, pancakes.

Whether you’re whipping them up on a griddle or in a non-stick pan, you can’t go wrong with a big, fluffy flapjack to start the day.

The Colorado based GABF Medalists at Cerebral know what we’re talking about, and today’s 2-pack is a duet of drizzled maple syrup atop some of everyone’s favorite weekend breakfast!

Slide into the nook and take a look at the menu:

WORK FROM ANYWHERE - 10% ABV

Knowing how important that first meal is, Cerebral released this brew in tandem with an in-taproom breakfast feed, serving up this delicious Imperial Porter with waffles and a side of bacon!

Now, we’re shipping it right to you so you can try it with your own homemade breakfast! With additions of Vermont Maple Syrup, Coffee beans from Corvus Coffee, and milk sugar, you can embrace all the warm, roasty notes of a hearty, U.S Open Beer Fest award-winning brew.

PINK SLIP - 8% ABV

To top off your breakfast, we’re adding some fruit into that maple-y mix! For the go-getters looking for a light(er) start, Pink Slip’s got all your bases covered!

It still uses that delicious Vermont Maple Syrup and milk sugar to create a creamy body, but a drizzling of blueberry sweetness gives it true-to-form blueberry pancake vibes!

Lean back and soak in the weekend brunch bliss — Cerebral Brewing’s done all the cooking for today’s 2-pack of flapjack happiness.

Thought it could be interesting. It's a weird taste that lingers. Blueberry-ish front with a maple finish that is meh.

I don’t even know.. I’m just sad. It’s so pretty but so weird. Like maple oatmeal and someone in the next room yelled the word “blueberry”? I wanted to love it but nah. Pass.

This sour has a wonderful nose that truly does smell like blueberry waffles and maple syrup. The lactose blends with the blueberry and maple syrup quite well, making the drink tart, but not to sour. Impressive that the maple tastes so natural and blends well with the beer. This beer really would pair well with breakfast.

Flavors seemed to be fighting each other instead of working together.

This is a very well-made beer. It combines a number of very different flavors that are both sweet and tart and manages to bring them all out in both the nose and taste with a fine balance. For example, maple flavor and aroma are not easy to capture in a lighter beer such as this and yet they come through beautifully. I found the odd combinations of flavors such as maple and tart fruits not particular to my personal taste, however those who do will find this an excellent beer.

Excellent sour that very accurately hits the blueberry pancake with maple syrup taste. Not too sweet though, very drinkable and refreshing.

All I could taste was the maple syrup. Was able to smell the blueberries though. Became a bit too sweet about half way through.

Amazing flavors! I can distinctly taste the blueberry and maple syrup! The maple syrup is also very pronounced on the nose. Not too sweet or over powering, just the perfect balance. Not a fan of the red/pink color though. Keeper!

Blueberry pancakes with tart blueberries. Really good maple flavor. A pint might be a bit much for this, but would definitely get if I seen it again, or on tap somewhere.

Opaque, Cranberry colored, tangy berries & Maple Syrup fragrance, more like balanced breakfast over here, subtle tart Blueberries, bready cakiness & rich, golden syrup.

I have to be honest, one of the best beers I’ve ever tasted. I feel like I’m 6 again eating blueberry waffles for breakfast. And I mean that in the best way. Is it appropriate to drink this at 9 in the morning?

The syrup taste is very overpowering. It took a few sips for me to be able to notice any of the other, more subtle flavors.

A fantastic job done with this one. It tasted exactly like blueberry waffles! Down to every flavor note. I actually enjoyed this brew for breakfast it was that spot on! Beware, not necessarily a bad thing but the maple syrup in the brew is so powerful when you eventually do pee it will be like you dumped a bottle of maple syrup into the toilet.
