  • Flying Dog Wildeman Farmhouse IPA

    Updated: 2012-02-03 13:26:13
    Flying Dog has always made good, craft beer, but it seems that the past couple of years has seen the brewery up the ante on their craftsmanship and quality — not to mention willingness to expand outside of their safety zone.

    Updated: 2012-01-19 23:08:00
    : Thursday , January 19, 2012 Doble Double IPA As part of my double brew weekend , I brewed up a double IPA . I always love the slew of Imperial IPAs that come out in late February Early March , and thought it was about time I added my own to the mix . Plus , my Ryeteous Rye Porter got an infection , so I'm looking for something that I can have on tap in a month or so . Instead of brewing two lagers that would require time , I went with the . Doble I've brewed my fair share of big IPAs , and I tend to focus more on the hops than the malt , since I tend to like IPAs that aren't too syrupy . I had a lot of whole leaf hops grown by my friend , Zeus and Centennial . I wanted to choose a complimentary hop that would balance the intense citrus and fruitiness of those hops . So I chose Chinhook ,

    : Sunday , January 15, 2012 Gringo De La Noche It seems like it's been a very long time since I've brewed or posted anything .
