Hopkick Murphy is back: 9.2% Imperial IPA

Here you go, hopheads: Heavily hopped with simco; also hopped with citra, columbus, centennial, chinook and amarillo. Balanced and not overly bitter. Hopkick Murphy is a contender for our steady lineup, and will definitely be here for our next tasting and our June opening.

Tasting update: A few questions answered.

Brother Bluto version A is made with a Belgian Trappist yeast. B is a Belgian Abbey yeast, which is a bit less sweet and more appropriate for the beer: it was also more popular with our tasters. Area 27: A is made with a London Ale yeast which is fruitier. B is a dryer American …

Tasting.

Thank you all so much for coming out, and for all the great feedback on both our experiments and on our older recipes.
