JailHouse Brewing
Jailhouse Brewing (Hampton, GA) is adding a 4th beer, to their lineup – Midnight Special. An American black ale, or black IPA for those that still like that better.
The name is inspired by Creedence Clearwater Revival’s cleassic song “Midnight Special.” The song is linked to jails and jailhouses. The brewery mentions:
“Midnight Special is about a train that shone its ever lovin’ light in the cells of the prison. The light represented a light of salvation and escape from the walls that held them. There are many historical versions of the song and it is part of what made making this beer so interesting and special to us.”
Jailhouse brewer Glen Golden decided on a black IPA for this new beer hoping to showcase some new malt from Jailhouse’s malt supplier. JH really wanted a big ABV beer, in the neighborhood of 12%, but the bar was set a little too high on that one. Midnight Special should weigh in around 10%. It’s a long boil on this one – 2 hours. The hops are warrior (bitter) and centennial (until the end of the boil). Dry hopped with more centennial.
Midnight Special joins the “Solitary Confinement” series at Jailhouse. Specialty and one time brews will find their way to lockdown here.
Arrival: March 2011
