Specialty Beer of the Month: Hay Hop Black Beer & Short Trip-Simcoe
The Pangburn family grows some hops for us just north of town. This year the green beasts engulfed some hay bales nearby. We don't know if these cascade hops picked up some Iowa farm character, but we thought it would make a great dark beer for the fall season. We've also brewed another in our featured hop series, Short Trip IPA. This time we used Simcoe hops, a pungent, piney variety from the northwest.
