5th Year beer

Our 5th Year Beer is an extremely drinkable IPA brewed with Pilsner, Carafoam and Aromatic malts to yield a pale golden color and clean malt profile. The real stars of the show are the new German varieties of hops that were hand selected by our friend Nunzino while in the Fatherland. The bales of whole hops were shipped back to Hop Head Farms production facility in Hickory Corners, Michigan, to be pelletized under his strict specifications. We utilized the hop variety Apollo to achieve a crisp, aggressive, yet clean bitterness. Finally we blended the German varieties Hallertau Blanc, Melon and Mandarina in multiple additions during the brewkettle, whirlpool and in the dry-hop. This program of hop additions infuses this unique IPA with aromas and flavors of green grapes, freshly cut melons and citrus zest. Enjoy it while you can -- it will not be around very long!
