Right Brain Brewery's Naughty Girl Stout

Bottoms Up
By Janice Binkert | Nov. 23, 2019

We are among those crazy (or not so crazy?) people who love the combination of chocolate and beer, who crave that play of rich and sweet against refreshing and bitter. And when it comes together in liquid form as a stout? Sign us up. But Right Brain Brewery’s Naughty Girl Stout (ABV: 6.3%) doesn’t stop there. In addition to its luscious chocolate notes, it is infused with biodynamic peppermint from local Light of Day Organics. As Right Brain describes it, it’s like your favorite chocolate-mint cookies without the crumbs. OK, you’re thinking we’re on a real chocolate-mint kick, since our Tastemaker on the opposite page rhapsodizes about peppermint bark. Well, you’re right, and you’re welcome. Just consider these tips our holiday gift to you. Naughty Girl is one of Right Brain’s seasonal beers, but you’re in luck —’tis the season right now for this festive flavor bomb. Grab your six pack of 12-ounce bottles at locations all over northern Michigan. Starting Thanksgiving weekend, Naughty Girl will also be available on draft at Right Brain Brewery, 225 East 16th Street in Traverse City. (231) 944-1239, www.rightbrainbrewery.com.
