Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailMany Hands Pale Ale

Many Hands Pale Ale, 2014, is mashed with one hundred pounds of buttercup squash, and mash-hopped with organic Chinook hops. (The smell was fantastic from the mash tun.) We used Two-Row Pale Malt grown in Quebec, Maris Otter and some Kilned Amber Malt for some beautiful color. We first-wort hopped it with as much Cascade hops as we could get into the kettle, and finished it off with some Mount Hood, and Hallertauer hops, all grown organically at LaHave Natural Farms. The buttercup squash comes through nicely in the beer, with a great hoppy flavor that can only be had from a wet hopped harvest beer. At 6.5% ABV and 37 IBU, we think that this will certainly be a hit.
