Bitter Heads Prevail – West Coast IPA

Bitter Heads Prevail – West Coast IPA - Collaboration with Three Twenty Brewing

A few times a year we put our collective heads (bitter heads this round) together and whipped up a WCIPA recipe that has a bit o' lingering bitterness to satisfy the other bitter heads out there. In comparison to our Statement of Westy WCIPA, this collab is just a wee bit more bitter, and still quite dang approachable! Built on a base of the aptly named IPA malt, with touches of dextrin and crystal wheat 3L, this malt backbone allows the hops to take front and center. MI Chinook, Simcoe, Crystal, and some super classic Cascade grace the kettle additions, as well as the whirlpool on the hot side of things. The duo of Simcoe and MI Chinook were dropped in cold side for a hefty dry hopping regimen. And our favored house ale yeast strain rounded it all out nicely. Punchy and assertive, with big flavors and aromas abound. This one hits on multiple levels, y'all. The Deets: Malts

Call the Banners – 4th Year Anniversary Red Rye Lager (Aged on Oak)

It's time, y'all... call in your banners, all of them. Rally yourselves & your friends together and make the trek down here to the taproom to imbibe some lovely lagered libation Built on a base of Gambrinus Mars malt (which gives this beer its ruby hue) with a stalwart supporting cast including: pilsner, carared, melanoidin, and three different kinds of rye malt for a myriad of gentle complexity. Spalter Select hops provide lend a light continental noble quality to the mix. The oft-used, and for good reason, Weihenstephaner (more commonly known as 34/70 for all the nerrrrrrrrrrrrds out there) yeast strain was utilized for a low n' slow fermentation and subsequent lagering phase. And last, but certainly not least, we aged it all on a smack of oak for a wisp of wood-kissed enhancement. Time from grain to glass: 8 weeks. Snag those banners and head on down this way for some pints of lager! The Deets: Malts:

Built on a base of pilsner malt, with co-stars including: Munich, melanoidin, and a sprinkle of Carafa II de-husked.

Gobs of crystallized ginger and cinnamon sticks were added to the tail end of fermentation as well to further boost the aromatics, without being overpowering.

Let’s Get Two It! – Midwest IPA

ABV: 6.8%

Let’s Get Two It! – Midwest IPA

We took inspiration from some of our favorite IPAs that are intrinsic to the Midwest proper and whipped up this homage to them in the tastiest dang way we could. As the name says, let’s get to it shall we? Built on a base of classic pale malt with touches of dextrin, Munich, white wheat, and a smidge of golden naked oats. We utilized some bold, new hop kids on the scene, Anchovy (just a silly name, no fishiness here) and Zumo for some kettle additions as well as in the whirlpool. Anchovy and Zumo are also used in a double dry hopping regimen, along with some Michigan Cascade. Our favored house ale strain rounds the whole package out. *chefs kiss* Expect multiple layers of all the damn citrus with back notes of raspberry and pine coupled up with a solid malt backbone that lends the lightest sweetness to the mix. As mentioned above, it’s a great nod and tip of the cap to Midwestern-based IPAs that surround us from our other stately neighbors. Come down and slay a pint and stay for more!
