Connecticut... What's going on?

[GMRfx]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - really dug it. So juicy. Killed two glasses quick.

must find soon.... have had most, if not all, of their IPA's. Still love awkward hug the best... but have loved all of them.

Open invitation to anyone down to stop in to Newington and try a pint of my new 6.5% Galaxy, Amarillo, Mosaic, Columbus IPA. Keg will probably be around for a couple weeks- would love some feedback.

Newington? You're close. Also, that's a hell of a collection of growler tags.

 

[lambandtunaphish]

So this is different than the base stout, right?

...anchos and sun dried tomatoes...

 

[tehzachatak]

sun dried tomatoes

????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I like to think I did my part in helping Tree House grow over the years.

So I guess this is the beer that's going out to bars right now and getting all 4+ star ratings

Someone tick it at Prime (purephase)

Oh I had it earlier in the week. It wasn't really as interesting or gross as expected. There was some really light heat from the peppers but overall it just seemed like an average boozy stout. I did think the cask of The Fist with Amarillo there was probably the best DIPA I've had from Stubborn Beauty so far.

That looks awsome! Care to share anymore info

Gladly! Light and hoppy with only enough sweetness for hop balance. Some soft Orange Juice/ Apricot notes. This batch, the creamy yeast kind of buffered out some of the light bitterness I have been aiming to impart, so the next recipe will actually be a little less "soft" by design to get a little more out of the beer.

Everything about the beer is tailored towards hop aroma retention. Malt choices/adjunct malts, yeast selection and treatment, alkalinity and water profile, even the wort cooling process. PM if you want to get down and dirty about process and brew science!

Oh, and come drink some! pjs234 came by last night for a glass and we had a nice little hang out considering how out of it I was. Thanks, Paul! Was great to meet ya. Edit: And huge thanks for the Sprang!

 

[tehzachatak]

Should be at OEC at some point tomorrow, probably 5 or so. Hope to see some of y'all there!

what yeast? never used one I would describe as "creamy"

 

[GuzzleMcBrew]

1318 London Ale III. Definitely the only yeast I have used that I have considered creamy. The stuff leaves behind a rich, almost gummy body, at least when combined with dry hopping during active primary. Can't speak to exactly what happens- seems like maybe the flocculation is disrupted and not everything drops out (even over time), or maybe the yeast just leaves behind a chewy, slightly sweet biproduct. Could even have something to do with interaction with the non fermentables/malt adjuncts I use to maintain body. Or all of the above!

The ester/phenol production by this yeast is pleasant for complementing hops. The yeast also seems to produce different tastes and smells when interacting with the hops, and seems to scrub some of the ginger/garlic bite from over-hopping. It also seems to have scrubbed some alpha acid bitterness flavors slightly.

[lambandtunaphish]

She's not taking the bait... I told her not to go earlier this morning when I figured it'd be cray. Guess people aren't out of work yet.

 

[purephase]

As I'm leaving the line outside is just at the double doors. No snaking inside though.
