I just learned about the Beer Camp this evening. This is pretty cool. I had never heard of it, but I was probably ignorant of it being that I’m in the Midwest. A local bar had the 3 releases of the beer camp recipes in bottles. I had the IPA first, which is hopped with cascade in citra. It was good, but not great. It was too malty for my liking for an IPA. The Belgian Black IPA was the third that I tried. It was interesting. Belgian yeast and the hop showcase was Nelson Sauvin and Sarachi Ace. The imperial red was the second I tried and it was STELLAR! It was one of the best imperial reds that I have tried! That’s saying a lot since Great lakes Nosferatu is on tap now. It isn’t as hoppy as Nosferatu, but man was it good.
Aside from the beers, I think this is a pretty cool thing that they have going on at Sierra Nevada.
Brewmichigan (Mike) and I were at the same Beer Camp. Hopfenmalz (Jeff) went a few years before we did). They run one every couple of weeks, believe it or not. Here are my photos…
