Triple IPA, by Founders. I am in love!!! This is anamazing beer!!! 112 IBU’s, and 12% abv. No alcohol burn, and the hops just pucker your butthole ever so nicely, without being invasive. It has just enough caramel to balance the hops. Many of the doubles and triples I’ve had are way to malty for me, but this is perfect. In fact, it reminds me a lot of my “Thunderstruck” barley wine.
Man I can’t wait to get brewing!
P.S. does anyone know if there is any rye in this beer? It is so similar to my barleywine recipe that uses rye, I was just curious.
Haven’t had this one yet, but I’ll keep a look out.
What’s the eta on firing up the burner for a batch?
Is your equipment still MIA?
Wow, that sounds tasty!! I will have to look for this one around the Green Bay/Fox Valley area in Wisconsin.
I don’t believe it has rye.
I’ve got everything but my kegs. I can brew it, I’d just have to dump it after it’s fermented. So, soon as I can find a deal on some keghs out west, U’m good to go. Think it’s gonna be a tough thing to do, coinsidering the size of the place I’m in. And considering I got all mine for 15$ each, that’ll never happen again. Oh, well.
If you feel like driving to Seattle or Portland . . . but they won’t be $15. :) You can try getting in touch with Ted Hausotter, he’s in Baker City OR. I’m sure he knows some guys in Boise who might be able to help. Maybe not for $15 there either, but you never know. Ted’s email is available on the BJCP website, he’s the Mtn/NW region rep.
I jjust might do that, thanks. I just got into Ohio today, and I’m gonna see how much it will be to ship them out.
Looks like your gonna have to drain that keg of BIPA before you ship it. That’s a crying shame. ;D
