Hoppy New APA!!

Posted on by

If we could make confetti shoot out of this pint we would! Heck, if we could make it shoot out of this website we would too. A couple of weeks sleeping in a cold keg and one CO2 emergency dealt with, Whirly Bird’s Hoppy New APA is officially being poured. There has been some back and forth regarding Sabro but we couldn’t be happier. The tropical fruit and citrus notes shine on this beer and we can’t wait for the hint of caramel to come through if the beer can last long enough to age a bit.

5 SRM, 38 IBU, 5.2% ABV

Here’s to 2020!

First beer of 2020 lives!

In the keg we go. After a huge dry hop addition of Sabro, everything settled out nicely and tastes great. FG hit the mark at 1.010 so we have ourselves a 5.2% ABV APA about to come under pressure in the cooler and turn into real beer soon.

Happy New Year!

New year, new beer!

What better way to ring in 2020 with a batch of hoppy APA. The fire was lit around noon and another hoppy creation was concocted. The last NEIPA turned out pretty well so we continued the same tropical hop profile. I think it may turn out a bit cloudy initially with the London Fog WLP but it’ll settle out in a week or so.

  • First look at the color
  • Flame-out and whirlpool additions

The sample of OG soon-to-be-beer sure smells like we didn’t screw it up. See you in a few weeks. Don’t worry, we’ll stuff some Sabro down your throat soon.
