If you’re not a hop that’s from the West Coast you’re not invited to this party. Columbus, Cascade, and Centennial used generously throughout to provide lingering bitter notes, complemented by classic West Coast floral and citrus aromas.

One big ol’ hot mess of juicy hop flavor! Our good friend returns with that “freshly-squeezed” juiciness we all love! Strata, Simcoe, and Sabro Cryo Hops emanate big notes of pineapple and guava, underpinned with softer tones of coconut, peach smoothie, and sweet lime. For Gary, we implement a “Cool Pool”. This process involves dropping the temperature of the whirlpool prior to adding hops. In this case, we cooled the wort from 212ºF to approximately 180ºF before adding the hops. This process allows us to capture delicate hops oils that would otherwise volatize-out at higher temperatures, minimize isomerization of alpha-acids, and reduce hopleaf polyphenol extraction – all which maximize hop oil aroma intensity and minimize bitterness/astringency.
