Shock & Awe

Описание

This beer is 10% abv and 100 International Bitterness Units. It’s all about excess - the kind of excess that has become the hallmark of the American IPA style. It is a double IPA, twice the malt and twice the hops. It’s made using a truly decadent amount of Centennial, Simcoe and Summit hops, something that in this current US hop crisis is a luxury afforded only to those who brew on a nano scale. We simply couldn’t brew this on a larger scale – there aren’t the hops. In keeping with this celebration of excess it was dry hopped twice, once in the fermenter and again in conditioning. It even used two yeasts – one yeast to start the process and give the desired flavour and another, more alcohol tolerant strain to “mop up pockets of resistance”.
