Brett Loves Hops is an IPA fermented with brettanomyces. This will be a rotating series of beers with the hops changing from batch to batch. The beer is named for the way brettanomyces and hops interplay and compliment each other so well. When used as 100% of the primary yeast brett lends big tropical, overripe fruit flavors and aromas to the final beer. We will work hard to choose the best hops to compliment those flavors. Despite containing brettanomyces this is still an IPA and is meant to be enjoyed fresh. We do not recommend aging this beer, but if you must have the signature barnyard funk that comes from aging, you will do so at the cost of hop flavor and aroma.
