What a weekend?!?! Not only did the temperature creep over the 50 degree mark, there was plenty of sunshine to help alleviate those of us afflicted with seasonal affective disorder!! Plus, Blue Boots IPA is back on tap. All in all, a good recipe for success!
Like I mentioned, Boots is back for a short engagement. The hoppiest installment yet, I promise! We are using our new method for dryhopping, and it's working out better than I had hoped...chinook, centennial and nugget hops were used in this batch, and I have to say, I believe it's the hoppiest beer in Massachusetts...and maybe New England! (Calm down, Alchemist fans...I'd love to put Boots up against Headdy Topper, just to see the difference. Ok, so maybe the second hoppiest beer in New England! John does make great beers up there in Waterbury, VT)
Speaking of IPA's...we will be unveiling a new IPA at the Pretty Things Beer and Ale Project Social on March 31st. Get ready...tickets are 25$ for the event. I've seen the food menu and I know what Dann and Martha are bringing for beer. Looks to be a kick ass event! Can't wait to see everyone out and about.
Beer update: Steamer is now on tap. A California Common style beer, we ferment this lager at warmer temps. This gives the beer a mildly fruity and crisp taste. Fairly hop forward, too. We dryhopped Steamer with Perle hops and it's clocking in at 5.9% abv...
Catch you later...I'm going outside to play! PLB, Boog
