Can details: Friday, 6/26, Noon

“Oh So”
Kvasnicové-style Pale Lager 
4% ABV 

Inspired by memories of Rodinný Pivovar Vendelín - Brewed with 100% Moravian Pilsner malt, double decocted, and three ZPC pellet additions in the kettle. Open fermented at 8°C with WLP802, re-yeasted with freshly fermenting “Oh So”, and then cold conditioned at 0°C for four weeks. 

Enjoyment notes - Honeysuckle, poolish, orange candy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Cowboy Grass”
Unfiltered Pale Ale
5.5% ABV 

The futuristic flavors of Cit Ra - Brewed with Pilsner malt and rolled oats, a three step mash regimen, and three late additions of Citra in the kettle. Fermented at 20°C with WLP077 and dry-hopped at the tail end of fermentation  with 1/2lb per bbl of pelletized Citra. Once fermentation was complete it was transferred to a horizontal at 1°C on to more pelletized Citra at a rate of 2lb’s per bbl. Cold conditioned on Citra for four days before packaging.

Enjoyment Notes - Delicate tones of fresh peach, mango, and tangerine

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“4 Year Anniversary Double IPA”
Unfiltered Double IPA

Brewed like an irresponsible dry-hopping cretin - Brewed with Extra Pale Pilsner malt and rolled oats, a three step mash regimen, and a little Nectaron, Citra, and Simcoe in the kettle and whirlpool. Fermented with harvested WLP001 and dry-hopped at 9°C with Nectaron, Citra, and Simcoe. After four days at 9°C it was transferred at 1°C on to 5lb’s per bbl of Citra and Simcoe. Carbonated with slow head pressure absorption and packaged after 4 days at 1°C.
