Yummm

Dry Hopped
Brewing the perfect ale is truly a balancing act ... Hazardous work you might say. With Hop Hazard our challenge was to hand craft a malt rich base that could counterbalance a combustible five-hop blend and still leave your taste buds with enough room to enjoy a unique, dry-hopped finish.
5.5% A.B.V
A Strong 5 Hop Blend that is Perfectly Balanced by a Malt Rich Body. Freshly Dry-Hopped India Pale Ale.

Where do you get all these beers from Tom?

[cvm4]

Yea really...I checked my area through that RateBeer website and the pickings were slim.

[caudio51]

My local liquor store in town is one of the top five in Jersey for microbrew beers. I spoke with the owner for about a half hour about beers. Anything I want he will try to get for me. I could buy for you guys and ship but it would be very pricey. That option is always open.

I took notes from Todds box pass on how to package. If I bought 22oz bottles I would just wrap them all individually. Six packs would get filled with packing peanuts.

[Wasch_24]

LMAO! Before Yuengling was nationwide we used to have our friends Dad ship it from NJ to Michigan.

He would put it in one of those big popcorn tins and spray the 'Great Stuff' foam spray in it...the beer would arrive cold but it took a looong time to get it all out of the foam. :hysterica

[caudio51]

That's great todd! I could buy a case of foam for you guys.

[Wasch_24]

Last one of the night:

Mocha Porter http://www.rogue.com/brews_files/clear.gif


Dedicated to the chocolate lover in each of us. Mocha Porter was once known as New Porter, in honor of the town of Newport, Oregon and home of Rogue Ales. The January/February 1995 issue of Men's Health magazine features a bottle of Rogue New Porter (today's Mocha Porter) in the Fifth Annual Collection of Good Advise, Health News, Dire Warnings, Notable Folks and Unsolicited Opinion. New Porter is described as the Best New Beer for 1994! The caption reads: "Oh, Hoppy Day: For a beer- drinking experience order up a bottle of this microbrew from Oregon."

Ruddy brown in color, a bittersweet balance of malt and hops with a light cream finish. Mocha Porter is made from Northwest Harrington and Klages; 135-165, 95-115, and 70-80 Crystal; Beeston Chocolate, Black, Munich and Carastan malts. Perle and Centennial hops. Mocha Porter is available in a 12-ounce 6-pack, the classic 22-ounce bottle, and on draft.

Measurements: 13 degrees Plato, IBU 54, Apparent Attenuation 73, Lovibond 77.
