Batch #903 “Wet Hop Bob (Citra)” Brewer Notes: This is the first time we’ve implemented wet hops in HLC! We used 5#/bbl of Citra from CLS Farms, which gives this version notes of meyer lemon, yellow peaches, & tangerine with a slightly grassy/chewy depth.So, this batch is hopped with GR Magnum, CZ Saaz, GR Mandarina, & Oregon Amarillo - a little more of a classic rendition - with notes of orange peel, lemon zest, and meadow grass. But also, we’ve felt it was special all along. Batch #912 “In Bob We Trust” Brewer Notes: Bob’s been getting a lot of love lately - a Silver at GABF, a Gold at Washington Beer Awards - and it means the world to us that it’s finally getting noticed.This batch is hopped with GR Magnum, CZ Saaz, GR Mandarina, & Australian Ella hops - and with notes of white peach, rose, green tea, and lemongrass, you can at least think about traveling to Australia. Batch #921 “Beach Bob” Brewer Notes: It’s that time of the year again when we need a beach vacation STAT.Weyermann Pilsner Malt & an ever changing blend of hops. A little touch of pilsner malt here, a little push of German and American hops there, caressed very gently layer after layer after layer. And, all of our customers - our regulars, our family, random people - won’t know what’s coming there way, a FUCKING Comet IPA, that could alter their lives and perceptions, forever.ĭry-Hopped Pilsner | 5.3% | 32 IBU We believe everyday is a good day when you brew. Get CROSBY on the line! We need these hops STAT! If we don’t get these hops in this beer RIGHT. Should we let our friends know? Should we call our loved ones? Or, just let them brew in blissful ignorance? Whatever our future is, we had to MOVE FAST.
And the path it’s taking, a course directly aimed at our domes, is quite concerning to say the least. This doesn’t seem like an ordinary lot of comet. And then it seemingly opened up, approaching more aggressively with ripe tangerine and lime peel, so much so we had to take a step back. At first, it seemed like an interesting little blip, notes of citrus & pine with a touch of grass, but nothing out of the ordinary. Crosby Hop Farm had sent us some 2021 samples of other hop varieties to select, and they threw in an extra bag of their estate grown Comet, which we saved for the end. IPA | 6.8% | 68 IBU It started off like any normal Tuesday. At the end of the day, all this stuff results in us believing that we are experts in the field of Double IPA making, the greatest style of all the beer styles in the world. These hops smell like tangerines and passion fruit because of all that crazy science wizardry, which allowed for that specific essential oil & terpine combination to prevail. We THEN added some Strata hops - which are this new, genetically unique variety of humulus lupulus developed by actual scientists at Oregon State University. We made some hopped wort (lots of science did this - like malting and enzymes and isomerization and shit) and then we knocked out onto Mosaic cryogenically frozen powderized hop matter concentrate and saccharomyces cerevisiae so that biotransformation of hoppy stuff would occur while the yeast metabolized maltose, maltotriose, & sucrose while creating new esters and alcohols and stuff. So, here’s what’s going on with this beer. You should still listen to us (obviously) because we are fortunate enough to have a platform and we feel important and we TALK LOUD sometimes. A second reminder that, we’re no scientist, nor is this beer, but let US tell YOU our completely unfounded opinion based on our myopic, personal experiences and a touch of random, select, unverified information. Also, encourage a whole lotta of NON-SCIENTISTS to come out of the woodwork.
DIPA | 8.4% | 68 IBU Back by pandemic demand! It’s crazy to think the first time we brewed this beer was 2019…before a global pandemic would upheave our, and your, entire world.
