Matt Alkire — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 19:57:52 +0000

Boreal Trippel is a Belgian Tripel that has a pronounced malt sweetness and high ABV. Expect mild spicy phenols with fruity esters and a sweet finish. Brewed with orange peel and coriander to round out the flavors, Boreal Trippel has a fruity ester profile that is typical of a Belgian yeast fermentation, but with little bubblegum/banana aromatics, creating a crisp, clean Belgian Tripel. Time to spruce up and don’t grouse, try Boreal Trippel today!

Friends With Benedicts

Sticking with references from the great tv show Trailer Park Boys, our latest and greatest Hazy IPA, Friends With Benedicts has a unique aroma/ flavor profile that’s sure to have you question, “Who are the Benedicts?”. This Hazy IPA imparts aromas of tangerine, coconut, and tropical fruits from both mash and post boil whirlpool hop additions. We then fermented with Omega Yeast Cosmic Punch strain to help unlock all these flavors and maximize this tropical profile. Add in a double dry hop and we’re all saying, “Maybe we could become friends with benedicts!”

Manic

Matt Alkire — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 20:39:53 +0000

A pilsner on steroids. Starting with a simple grain bill of pilsner and wheat malt, we added dextrose to raise the starting gravity and help encourage a dry, crisp finish after fermentation. Four different hop additions during the boil of Citra and Ekuanot bring a bitterness and strong hop flavor typical of a Double IPA. Both hops are American varietals that produce strong citrus and berry aromatics, Ekuanot imparts strong papaya and lime notes, while Citra adds grapefruit and passion fruit aromatics. Be wild with excitment, try Manic Double Pilsner today!

Big School Words

Matt Alkire — Wed, 28 Jun 2023 20:01:20 +0000

Biotransformation! Thiolized! Big School Words! This new hazy IPA is full of big flavors and aromatics! Starting in the mash tun, we mash hopped with Cascade and Saaz hops. This technique is called mash hopping and when applied in the brewing process, helps convert thiol precursors into a form that makes it possible for fermentation to generate rich, tropical aromas. We then added in Simcoe and Motueka hops to the whirlpool, to maximize aromatics and minimize bitterness. Fermenting with Omega Yeast Cosmic Punch Ale, this strain aides in generating thiols through biotransformation, releasing tropical aromas. Biotransformation of hops is a process by which yeast change less desirable hop compounds into more desirable bold flavors and aromas. Thiols are highly impactful aroma compounds that evoke grapefruit, passion fruit, and guava. Once fermentation was rocking, we did two dry hop additions of Mosaic, Simcoe, and Motueka hops, further adding juicy, tropcial aromatics.

28 Anniversary Brew

Grant — Sat, 29 Apr 2023 01:02:53 +0000

In celebration of 28 years of brewing bold beer in the last frontier, 28 Imperial Pale Stout is a bold expression on a style that has less than bold guidelines. Our approach was to highlight the intense flavors of an imperial stout, with a target appearance in color that is in between a pale and amber ale. In the brewhouse we ran a 5 hour boil to create more body and depth. Once fermentation was complete, we aged this beer for a few months in Heaven Hill Rye Whiskey and Woodford Reserve Bourbon barrels. Since there are no roasted or caramel malts in the grain bill, we added toasted cacao nibs, vanilla beans, and Guatemala, Waykan cold brew in the mix from our friends at Kaladi Brothers Coffee to reinforce a warming spice with notes of raisin & chocolate. Is it a pale? Is it a stout? It’s our anniversary beer, 28 Imperial Pale Stout!
