A beer named for Ernest Hemingway’s favorite drink. Close friends and family affectionately referred to Hemingway as “Papa”. The original Papa Doble was served at a Cuban bar called the Floridita. It was a daiquiri drink that had Double the alcohol. Our version of the Papa Doble is a bit different. Rather than mixing ice, juices and liquor we mix loads of Pale malt with hot water. Then add 40 lbs of American hops. This ale is all about the hops. Hops used are Nuggest, Cascade, Ahtanum and Willamette. This Double IPA is a hop heads dream beer for sure.
