Just released this years green hop beer, Elton Cascade 3.9%. The hops were picked Saturday afternoon and used to brew the following morning . Every years crop is different and after a long hot summer we expect something very different from last year.Lets see ....
Next new beer will be Howling Wolf, using a fairly new hop - Styrian Wolf from Slovenia.
Visited on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. Usual great setup and all the beers tried were in good nick. Unfortunately we missed Alfredo Garcia and our Ice cream Pale ale. Good to note that the first firkin to sell out was Tropical IPA which was awarded a Bronze in the strong beer category.
Gearing up for PBF.
This year we will be pleased to supply the following -
Hop Devil 3.9% - 6 U.S. hop varieties Cascade, Citra, Amarillo, Ahhtanum,Mosaic and Simcoe.
Gringo Robot 4.1% - Very hoppy with Mexicanus hops.
Tropical IPA 5.0% Big fruity number with Styrian Cardinal,Citra, Galaxy and
Nelson Sauvin.
Two single barrel entries - Bring me the Hops of Alfredo Garcia 4.1%. Gringo with mexican limes and a dash of tequila.
Ice cream IPA 5.0% - hoppy vanilla ice cream beer .
Can't wait 🍺🍺🍺
Hop Devil was one of the beers that went to Northamptonshire Beer Festival.
Pleased to report that it was awarded First in the Golden ale category ! Great result in the most popular of the beer styles.
The Chocolate Robot has turned out a treat.
Moving into June we will be releasing our latest beer - American Graffiti 3.9% , blonde, with plenty of Amarillo,Citra and Simcoe. Plenty of orange and lime flavours.
After a few experiments on brewing a Chocolate Orange Stout we realised that the the dark malts,hops and chocolate outshone any orange flavour. Mixing orange with stout in whatever form just didn't work. Best left as a something to eat. So having done the work on a Chocolate Stout thought it would be a good idea to go for it. It's got the following malts - pale, dark crystal, brown, light chocolate,dark chocolate and Caraffa Special B. Cocoa Powder and chocolate shot. Waimea and Mandarin Bavaria hops. Brewed out to 5.0%. Looking forward to trying it.
April and we have just brewed Yakima Chief, a recipe used just once before about a year ago. Golden using Ahhtanum and Mosaic. 3.9% we liked it so much it had to be brewed again. Looking forward to the next beer in the pipeline, a Chocolate Orange Stout.
