Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailHop Happy

Brewed with three different kinds of hops, this IPA is balanced by the oats added to the mash. The oats not only add an unexpected sweetness, but also a heavier mouthfeel. We’ve been developing the recipe for this I.P.A. for over two years now. Every time I brew this beer I get excited for the spicy, citrus aroma thats released when the hops are added to the brew kettle. It’s almost overwhelming since there are around a pound and a half of hops per barrel. To round out all that hoppiness we use oats in the mash, it adds a little bit of sweetness but also creates a little bit of a heavier mouthfeel. Since there is so much interplay between the hops and the malt we didn’t want any of it to get muddled up with the yeast and fermentation process so we went with a standard yeast strain on this brew. If you’re looking to pair this beer up with something to eat, I recommend something on the spicier side.
