Foggy Noggin Brewing decided to go local on this beer – Hopvine 20th Anniversary Pale – 5.7% ABV – 56 IBU. We partnered with Skagit Vally Malting and used their locally grown and malted Copeland 2-Row Barley. We complimented the malt bill with some British Crystal Malts and Oats. 100% Yakima grown hops – Columbus for Bittering and Bravo for flavor and aroma. The result? A well balanced pale with a nice bright malty backbone and a crisp hoppy freshness makes this beer pop. HopVine 20th Anniversary Pale gets tapped Thursday – Oct 1st at HopVine Pub.
One the HopVine Pub staff (Zach Mertens) is a homebrewer and good friend of Foggy Noggin Brewing. We have teamed up for an earlier Pro-Am beer that was served at HopVine Pub. We teamed up again to make another special beer for this historic occasion. Four Beards Hoppy Red – 6.7% ABV – 67 IBU, pushes this red ale to the extreme and could be considered a Red IPA. 2-row barley, Munich Malt and British Crystal match a good malt backbone to harmonize with a Cascade and Amarillo hops. Wow! Four Beards Hoppy Red gets tapped Wednesday – Sept 30th at HopVine Pub.
