Harpoon - Black IPA

Tap and Mallet — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:27:06 -0500

Region: Massachusetts
ABV: 7.0

Price: $6.00

We have enjoyed brewing and drinking beers brewed in the IPA style for a long time. Our flagship Harpoon IPA and our Leviathan Imperial IPA are two of our favorites. We thought it was about time to take a crack at the Black IPA style.

Harpoon brewer Matt DeLuca took over the brewhouse for our 40th 100 Barrel Series offering. A newly released specialty malt from Briess called Midnight Wheat gives this beer an almost stout-like appearance without the overly roasty attributes often associated with traditional dark malts. Flaked barley is also used in the malt bill for head retention. An intense yet diverse hop addition schedule is executed during the boil that results in a well balanced offering.

On top of the Chinook, Simcoe, Cascade, and Citra hops is an ample addition of Ahtanum hops that provides a fruity aroma to complement the earthy, spicy bitterness of this dark ale.

Southern Tier - IPA

Tap and Mallet — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:25:01 -0500

Region: Lakewood, NY
ABV: 7.3

Price: $5.00

the iso-alpha acid experience

IPA stands for India Pale Ale and ours is an American version of the classic style. IPA’s namesake lies in its colonial roots. British soldiers on their way to India drank a lot of beer, but found it would go stale on the long voyages. Meanwhile, brewers knew that by adding more hops the beer would stay fresh. Voila! A new style was born and it is one we are proud to brew. Southern Tier IPA is triple hopped on its journey to your glass for a fully aromatic experience.

Truly a West Coast IPA brewed on the East Coast.

Tap and Mallet — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:37:41 -0500

Region: Penslyvannia
ABV: 5.6

Price: $6.00

Grisette is a Belgian farmhouse ale which was originally brewed in the Hainaut Province to be the beer of the miners in the area, just as Saison was the beer of the farmers. It was lighter than saison and frequently contained wheat as well as barley malt (as does the Sly Fox version). The name is derived from the French word for grey, referring either to the young women (the grisettes) who doled out pints as the men exited from the mines while still dressed in their grey factory frocks, or possibly the color of the cobblestone rock being mined.
