Each year early in the Spring my hops peek there heads out of the brick around our house and go crazy and grow super high. I take the hops that I get from these vine every year in August and craft a home grown IPA called Palate Pulverizer. Palate Pulverizer has a sweet malty backbone that eventually gives way to a strong herbal hop bitterness as the beer ages. This years version of Palate Pulverizer is 8% ABV and is over 100 IBU's although you wouldn't guess that it was that hoppy because my goal is to balance the bitterness and sweetness as much as possible with this beer. We usually make a couple of hoppy beers every year at Bashore Brewing, but this is the only one that uses Bashore Brewing hops. So far Irene and Dave Kennedy have each had pints of it and both of them seemed to enjoy it. This beer should be on tap for the New Years Eve Party this year, but feel free to stop in and have a pint anytime.CHEERS!
