Name comes from the last party we had where the space around the keezer became very crowded with BMC drinkers wanting to sample this beer. This 5 gallon keg was empty in less than 2 hours. I dry hopped this beer in the keg at 45 F for 5 days prior to our party. This is a lower IBU pale ale I made to try to introduce many of my friends to beers better than BMCs. |
