Sol Intent – Thiolized NE IPA

ABV: 6.6%

Sol Intent – Thiolized NE IPA

We’ve got another slapper of a NEIPA for y’all right here. It’s bright & punchy, with massive tropical and citrus tones swirling into a cohesive, delicious hazed out ale. Built on a base of local MN Pilsner malt for a clean canvas. White wheat, malted oats, flaked wheat, flaked oats (all also local MN), and dextrin fill out the rest of the grist & body. Calypso hops in the mash get their lovely compounds unleashed in spectacular fashion, while Trident Salvo in the whirlpool adds its own considerable flair. Cashmere & Strata lend their talents to dry-hopping. And once again calling forth the powers of mighty thiols we utilized Omega Yeast Lab’s newest thiolized yeast strain, Helio Gazer, to full effect to get those overt fruit-forward notes to head to the foreground. Make this one your “sol intent” (or at least of of them!) while y’all are down here at the taproom!

Inverted Feather Double IPA - Collaboration with Bryan Blurgenson

So, there once was a guy… let’s call him… Bryan Blurgenson. Well, Bryan got himself a Led Zeppelin tattoo of all the band members individual logos in one nice run down his leg. At the bottom was Robert Plant’s iconic feather inside a bold ring. However, the feather itself was tattooed upside down - or inverted, if you will - and no one was the wiser until it was all finished up. Needless to say, there was a few facepalms on Bryan’s part… he gave the thumbs up to the initial sketch before any ink was put to skin. Classic story… Annnnyway… to honor this silly kerfuffle we present to y’all Inverted Feather NE Double IPA!! Built on a mixed base of local MN Pilsner & Golden Promise… with heavy support from White Wheat, Malted Oats, Flaked Oats, & a touch of Acidulated malt. A large drop of Sultana hops were added to the whirlpool. A huge dry hop addition with the wonderful trio of Cashmere, Sultana, & Strata CGX lends heady notes of candied pineapple, ripe melon, mango, tangerine, & a whiff of danky dank. A classic hazy East Coast yeast strain was utilized to augment & push forth all the bold flavors/aromas while giving off stone fruit tones of its own.
