How Dare You!? IPA
First, you say you never brew single hop beers but it seems like you’ve done LOTS! MULTIPLE TIMES! Snoozefest (Citra), Mosaicin’ Me Crazy (Mosaic), Stratabulous (Strata), Take A Look (Chinook), The Great Simcoelio (Simcoe), Nelson Is My Friend (Nelson Sauvin)…
But then, you have THE GALL to do one with CASCADE?! Of all the hops in your cooler. SERIOUSLY? Sure, yes, we know – different farms, different harvests, different pellets, all personally selected, very precious. Goschie. Van Horn. Roy. Tributary. Freestyle.
STILL, you use ALL OF THEM in a modern IPA recipe with just Rahr 2 Row and Pilsner malts, like it’s a hop variety that can hang with new kids on the block? I mean, at least Chinook has low key cult status cred. Cascade is the hop in a stretched out tee and dad jeans and tube socks and Reeboks with a floppy hat and a fanny pack and boxy transitions bifocals. Oh, that’s cool now? That’s stylish? That’s HOT?! HOW DARE YOU.
