Some nice clean Galena hops up front for some of the bitterness and the rest of the IBUs is actually going to come from massive amounts of flavor and aroma hops. Also adding some Honey Malt, which is damn tasty! Haven't done a bad IPA yet...here's to hoping this one kicks all of them in the ass.DThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07569874924801888388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10877207.post-1156867930194791792006-08-29T12:12:00.000-04:002006-08-29T12:12:00.000-04:00ABV and IBUs ain't everything, sweetheart, ya also...ABV and IBUs ain't everything, sweetheart, ya also gotta have TASTE!<BR/><BR/>BTW, should have the BB logo ready sometime this week, so we need to start planning this thing.Blue-eyed Devilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930904604812639323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10877207.post-1156600783917602582006-08-26T09:59:00.000-04:002006-08-26T09:59:00.000-04:00It's Imperial IPA brewing time bitch!

I know they sponsor the Dirt Rag crew for many of their events, so that's another channel.<BR/><BR/>I did get a chance to tour the brewery a while ago, along with Victory. It was when Mad Elf was becoming a big hit.Blue-eyed Devilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930904604812639323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10877207.post-1153418678665018572006-07-20T14:04:00.000-04:002006-07-20T14:04:00.000-04:00Man, when are you going to start brewing again?

Still some left there, I would guess. Limited edition, so get it while ya can; maybe there's none left to restock. The Clarendon WF doesn't have it.<BR/><BR/>As for the parenthetical beer, haven't tried it yet. Supposed to be a freaky mix of styles. Here's Weyerbacher's description:<BR/><BR/><I>"Coming in at an ABV of 7.0%, Our Black Hole satisfies the transition from dark ale to stout. We think of this as slightly "Porter-ish" with a strong malt body and a very light hop finish. This is a limited edition ale, made only several times per year. As the seasons change so should your drinking. This will help the ale drinker among us maintain their own balance!"</I><BR/><BR/>As for Jeff, probably on vacation.Blue-eyed Devilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930904604812639323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10877207.post-1152886905519972372006-07-14T10:21:00.000-04:002006-07-14T10:21:00.000-04:00fucker went there last night and they still don't ...fucker went there last night and they still don't have any more in stock!
