Frigid Digits – Cold IPA - Collaboration with Falling Knife Brewing Co.
Winter is most definitely upon us… WEATHER we like it or not. See what I did there? Yup, lame dad joke, correct. In the spirit of collaboration & cool beer ideas... coupled with this seemingly-forever-lasting-season up yonder here in MN… we, & our pals at Falling Knife Brewing in NE MPLS, present to y’all Frigid Digits Cold IPA! Aren’t all IPAs “cold” though? Yes… buuuuuut this moniker designates the method in which the beer itself was made. Cold IPAs are fermented with a lager yeast at the higher end of that particular strain’s temperature range & are also dry-hopped moderately, not super aggressively. (I mean, you can I suppose… you do you) They are also completely lagered out, like a pilsner, helles, etc. Cold IPAs are crisp, clean, dry, & a great canvas for hops to shine. This new-ish style is similar to an IPL (India Pale Lager) but slightly different. Look ‘em both up to compare if you want to get really nerdy about it. Built upon a super simple grist of pilsner malt, flaked rice, & a sprinkle of acidulated malt to get it all nice & crispy for y’all. Calypso & Cascade hops were tossed into the mash because yes, you guessed it… we thiolized this beer as well. Why not? Chinook Salvo got dropped in the whirlpool for some classic westy vibes. Small smacks of both Idaho 7 & MI Mackinac hops were used for dry-hopping to piggy back off of & accentuate the tropical thiol notes. Last, but certainly not least, a thiolized lager strain from our buds at Berkeley Yeast performed its double duty & steals the show for sure. Grain-to-glass timeframe: 8 weeks. Bright, crisp, & refreshing… with tropical tones that don’t drown everything out… this banger of a beer is an aromatic adventure. Getcha self on down to the taproom and snag a pint of two of this collaborative gem!

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.

Smileized – Thiolized NEIPA (Collaboration with A-Side Public House) - Collaboration with A-Side Public House
Smile, y'all! Your day is about to get a whole lot better with a pint of this beauty in your hands! This new NEIPA to our line up is bursting at the seams with overt tropical notes of all contexts. What is "thiolized" you may ask? Thiols are richly dense flavor/aroma compounds that give off grips of tropical fruit notes... particularly passionfruit & danky guava, in this case. They can be found in both hops & certain types of malted grains as well. Some thiols are "unbound" and give off their notes naturally... some are "bound" and need some help releasing their goods. That's where a "thiolized" yeast strain comes into play. These strains release bound thiols in abundance. The end result is massive waves of the aforementioned tropical fruits. They play very well in IPAs of all sorts. We decided for our first foray into these new, killer strains to go the hazy route... Bulit on a base of local MN pilsner & white wheat... with a supporting cast of characters, including: torrified wheat, flaked wheat, dextrin, & flaked oats. Loads of Calypso hops went into the mash to bring out their thiol potential. A bunch of Lotus Salvo from our pals at Hopsteiner both went into the whirlpool. Big smacks of Citra, Vista, & Nelson Sauvin CGX from our buds at Crosby Hops fulfilled their dry hopping potential to the max. Last but certainly not least, London Tropics yeast from our friends at Berkeley Yeast tossed off those wonderful thiols to augment the hops. Everything plays off each other wonderfully!

Orange & Mango swirl around each other for a nice synergy of citrus & tropical notes.... however, the punchy orange does take a slight edge ahead of the competition. Bright, tart, refreshing, very fruit-forward, and gently dry. Slay a few of these in the hot sun on the weekends for sure!

A Grod…. What? This newest addition to our line up is a crushable lil’ banger of a beer. Steeped in tradition & hyper-locality (in this case Poland), this smoked wheat beer hits a bunch of notes simultaneously. We decided to name it Ordrozenie - loosely translated to “revival” in Polish - as this ancient style of beer is slowly making a comeback… even here stateside in the US. These beers originally hail from the town of Grodzisk, Poland. A Grodziskie (pronounced: grow-GEE-skee-ya) traditionally is made with 100 percent oak-smoked wheat & noble European hops. It’s highly carbonated, dry, refreshing, & has a slight minerality to the finish. Keeping with tradition, we also used only oak-smoked wheat for our malt bill. Saphir hops provide an assertive, crisp balance with a nearly imperceptible grassy, herbal note. A lovely Kolsch yeast strain from our pals at The Yeast Bay rounded it off and dried it out nicely. We cold-conditioned this for a couple weeks (a “mini-lager phase”, if you will) to get it even crispier for everyone to imbibe this beer in heaps. Enjoy this unique & damn delicious ale outside with family & friends over a feast with your favorite smoked foods… or kicked back in a lawn chair doing absolutely nothing. Whatever it may be, relax & chill y’all! Na Zdrowie!

A double drop of local MN clover honey from our pals at Bare Honey (whirlpool & fermenter additions) add bright & very light sweet notes, as well as a bit o’ body. Lastly, a decent smack of Key Lime puree layers into the whole, but does not overpower everything.Light, refreshing, tart, & dry… get your mitts on this lil’ crusher for sure!

Pineapple Raspberry Sour
ABV: 5.3%
Pineapple Raspberry Sour
We’ve got a no-brainer blending of fruits for this iteration of our fruited sour series. Pineapple is robust & a lil sweet while the raspberry is bracingly tart. More emphasis went to pineapple as to not have the raspberry take over. The result is slightly sweet, quite tart, & overall darn delicious. 2-row, torrified wheat, flaked wheat, & malted oats make up the grain bill. The aforementioned pineapple & raspberry provide ribbons of tropical & berry notes. This is a perfect sour ale for the shifting of seasons.

Skysta Garbė – Lithuanian Farmhouse Ale

Collaboration with Dual Citizen
Skysta Garbė – Lithuanian Farmhouse Ale - Collaboration with Dual Citizen
Brewed in collaboration with Dual Citizen Brewing in St. Paul, both crews decided to dig into the more obscure side of farmhouse ale traditions and thus this ale was born. Loosely translated from Lithuanian to mean “liquid honor” both breweries honor their continuing friendship with one another by bestowing each other with some excellent, delicious liquid! Heavy overtones of pear, banana, apricot & a tinge of lemon intertwine with a solid bready backbone & ribbons of honey. Bold, dry, complex, refreshing & with a touch of minerality… this farmhouse ale has a lot going on, yet manages to be crisp & refreshing. Built on a mixed base of floor-malted Bohemian Pilsner & white wheat with biscuit rye, spelt, and Munich malts providing heft & complexity. Loral hops provide tiny hints of noble grassiness & floral notes. A decent smack of amber honey from Bare Honey adds body, lends a wisp of sweetness, & rounds out the body. Last, but certainly not least… the star of the show here is a very expressive Lithuanian yeast strain from Omega Yeast Labs gives off the bulk of the flavors & aromas mentioned above.

Collaboration with Vista Hops
What Would Vista Do? – West Coast IPA - Collaboration with Vista Hops
This lovely, dry & crisp West Coast-Style IPA is the second in a series of two IPAs we have on tap that highlights the new & vibrant Vista hop. (Check out Vista Obsession NEIPA for the other side of the coin) Built on a base of 2-Row with white wheat, Cara 8, & Munich malts round out the backbone. A small charge of Apollo up front provides a clean, assertive bitterness. Multiple kettle additions of Estate Grown Comet & Vista (both from Crosby Hops), as well as a smack of the classic, stalwart Cascade lend ribbons of flavor to the beer. The same three hops - with Vista being used 2 to 1 against the others - were utilized for dry-hopping for robust aromas. Awash with notes of: candied peaches, bright lemons, fresh floral, light pine, & assorted melons… this gem hits the damn spot!

Vista Obsession – Dip-Hopped NEIPA

Collaboration with Vista Hops
Vista Obsession – Dip-Hopped NEIPA - Collaboration with Vista Hops
Ok y’all… we’ve got a doozy of a New England IPA right here. We utilized a unique method, in addition to dry-hopping, to showcase a new, sexy hop varietal named Vista. Referred to as “dip-hopping”, the aforementioned method takes hops and puts them directly into the fermenter after its cleaned & purged out. A portion of slightly cooled-down wort is moved into the fermenter mid-boil. Said hops steep in the fermenter while the rest of the boil continues on as normal. At the end of the brew day the rest of the wort is moved into the fermenter on amongst the steeped “dip” hops. This method takes advantage of multiple temp ranges & changes to get super robust flavors/aromas to leap forth. Built on a soft base of Pilsner, with hefty doses of both white & flaked wheat to add body. Sprinkles of dextrin malt & flaked oats add silkiness and boosted head retention. The above mentioned Vista hop takes center stage, with smaller additions of Lotus & El Dorado making up the remainder of the lovely lupulin in the beer. Our workhorse expressive house London Ale strain rounds it out nicely. Bright candied lemon meshes with peach, pineapple, and sweet orange notes with a hint of papaya.

This one will make ya pucker for sure! 2-row, torrified wheat, flaked wheat, & malted oats are the soft, rounded malts for this sour to layer massive flavors/aromas upon in heaps. Gobs & gobs of the aforementioned lulo & goldenberry fruits provide constantly shifting pungent tropical & citrus notes on the nose while shifting into a lemon warhead candy-like tartness on the palate.

Mallet Mike’s Rye Porter - Collaboration with Mike the Electrician
Named after our electrician, Mike, whose mallet the production team borrowed often. The mallet itself actually fell into the mash accidentally while making this beer. Our head brewer, John, was flabbergasted to see it come out of the mash/lauter tun while he was graining out. Confusion turned to laughter & the name for this robust dark ale was born. Built upon a mixed base of stout malt and Maris Otter, which provide a smooth & slightly nutty canvas to layer specialty malts. White wheat, dextrin, & a mix of varied roasted & caramel malts give off color, complexity, & nuance. Moderate doses of flaked & crystal rye lend a light dryness & blend well into the whole.
