@DonzokoBeer Day 5 - love to get a new brewery in the calendar and @yikesbrewco do not disappoint! Loved the original granton ipa and this iteration is one of the standout neipas in the country in my book. Lovely neon orange and a stylistic firm bitterness to keep it a tad old school.
Two weeks ago, it was very green, but also a peach bomb. Last week, it was green, peach and pineapple. Today, it’s tropical and orange. Tasting it as it matured, while peach aromas and flavours dropped in intensity, we realised, we’d really like to make a peachy NEIPA.
Buy it.
Last week, we released a New England IPA, which is part of a series of Granton IPAs where each new IPA evolves the recipe from the last one.
The plan with the third IPA (New Granton IPA) was to follow the style guidelines for a New England IPA, because we didn’t do that before.
and co-pitched New England yeasts. We wanted body, some sweetness, light molasses like flavours, fruity esters, and creamy vanilla from the base.
So, there it is. We planed never to brew the same beer twice, but we’ve decided we’ll definitely refine this beer at some point. Why?
Great to see Mark @yikesbrewco getting some beers out in the wild again. New Granton IPA is a New England take on their original IPA, we’ve added a few cans of the OG west coast version too, so you can compare…
@corneliusbeers@EdinburghTrams@TramstoNewhaven Shame that. Sounds like there was a lot of nice stuff in the area that’s no there now. Would love to have seen Granton harbour before a lot of it was filled in.
So, we got a New England IPA coming out soon. We can't be bothered to talk about it here, 'cause it would be a load of tweets, but you can read about it in our latest Instagram post.
It’s Friday evening. Everyone just wants to have a nice time. So, we’ll keep it brief. Buy out stuff from the lovely folks at @NewWaveBeers. Buy. It. All.
Friday the 13th, Spooky portal time.
Killer cask from @chapterbrewing for the first time. Recently netting a GBBF Gold for Dead Man's Fist.
@yikesbrewco make their debut. There's nothing in the world of beverage production Mark can't turn his mind to. Now including beer!
