We got a few cases today of a new project from Sam Adams focusing on 5 specific hop varietals (main character ingredient in I.P.A.),
1. East Kent Goldings
2. Zeus
3. Simcoe
4. Hallertau Mittelfrueh
5. Ahtanum
with the 6th bottle being their seasonal, Latitude 48, which contains all 5 hops. As far as craft education goes, in my opinion, this is one of the coolest projects out at the moment. $16.99 per 12 pak.
Cracked one of these open last night for a tasting with friends. It’s a must have if you are an IPA lover. You can really taste what each hops does to the beer. It’s like beer school in a box.
