DDT 10/3/18 Airport Beer

[FoudreGuy]

9/20, one of the freshest and best batch we have got in the last several years. Has a little fruit loop taste going on.

Do you know what hops they used?

edit: Michigan grown Crystal and Cascade.

I didn't know. I never heard if they change up the hops every year or always use the same ones?

I was curious if they were shipping hops from WA/OR or finding a local hop farm and just using the more "boring" non-proprietary hops.

From their webpage they are local but don't say the type.

Each fall, our brewhouse looks more like a greenhouse as thousands of pounds of wet hop cones arrive within hours of being picked by some of our favorite local hop growers. Acting quickly, we then load up these wet hops into what will become Harvest Ale – an impossibly aromatic and bright IPA bursting with fresh pine, melon and citrus notes. Our ode to the beauty that is the wet, American hop.

I looked at their Instagram account, someone asked and Founders said Crystal and Cascade.
