More for the – hey that’s cool factor, and not, can’t wait to try this in America factor. Mitch Steele, aka The Hop-Tripper is brewing in England this week. He is brewing a black IPA with Adnams that will debut at the JD Wetherspoon pub chain there. Tapping in November if you are reading this from England.
The recipe is much like one that was brewed at the Stone Liberty Station brewery called Stone Supremely Self-Conscious Ale. That too is a black IPA with amarillo and simcoe hops.
The more you know. Go wow your beer geek friends.
More SEC Football rivalry. Terrapin Beer Company’s “Spike” is in Florida today brewing a beer with Swamp Head (Gainesville) on a new collaboration called Bitter Rivalry. If you know nothing of the rivalry that is the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs, it’s… huge.
The two teams can’t play at their own stadiums. They have to play on neutral ground in Jacksonville, Florida. “The Landing” in Jacksonville becomes the worlds largest outdoor cocktail party (more like, biggest outdoor $hit talking/drunk fest) in America. Trust me, I’ve been.
The rivalry heats up today with this new collaboration. Swamp Head is teasing details, but haven’t commented on the style. There are oranges involved, we know this much.
The Georgia/Florida game this year is November 2. There will be release parties and activities around this beer closer to the bloodbath. Oh, and by the way this isn’t Spike’s first SEC rivalry brew this year. In August he went to Knoxville, Tennessee (that’s UT territory) to brew another rivalry brew.
Behold the next Stone Brewing Co Collaboration – Suede. For this release, Stone’s Mitch Steele teams up with Megan O’Leary Parisi of Bluejacket in D.C., and Tonya Cornell from 10 Barrel Brewing in Bend, OR. The cross country melding of brewers minds finds them creating an imperial porter with avocado honey, plus jasmine and calendula flowers from Stone Farms. The result? Suede is described by their creators as “soft and seductive” and an “all season wonder.”
A formal announce is to follow from Stone. Look for this new edition in the coming months.
Style: Imperial Porter (w/ Jasmine Flowers, Calendula Flowers, Honey)
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft
