Hi All,
Long story short -> pirate themed party, need beer with 7 "C" ingredients. I am thinking IPA, need 4 or 5 hops that start with the letter C and will mesh well together. The other Cs will come from the malts (carapils and one or two cyrstals)
Here is a list of C hops I can think of off the top of my head:
Cluster
Columbus
Centennial
Cascade
Chinook
Citra
Comet
I know Centenial and Cascade go nicely together. I've done cluster/columbus and cluster/columbus/chinook and have not liked either.
What would you brew?

A possibility??? Thanks for the Idea! I just might give this a whirl...
I suppose you can use 'C'orn sugar for a more traditional IPA.

Since, I'm a big fan of the Honey Malt, changed the grain bill to this...still 7Cs.
