The fourth stop in Dan Mumford’s exploration of the UK, and if we’re stopping in the Northeast, we’re obviously getting Wylam involved. And if Wylam are involved, we’re obviously making a DDH IPA crammed full of as many hops as we could muster.
Wylam’s head brewer Lee has a soft spot for New Zealand hops and who are we to say no. White grape classic Nelson Sauvin, criminally underused Strata, and sweet citrus Riwaka all combine in this richly textured IPA.
7.5% ABV // 10 EBC // 20 IBU // 1.067 OG // 440ML
INGREDIENTS: Water, Malted Barley (GLUTEN), Wheat (GLUTEN), Oats (GLUTEN), Hops, Hop Oils, Yeast
For the next stop on our illustrative tour of the North with @danmumforddraws, we find ourselves in the familiar city of Manchester.
Manchester is a special place for Northern Monk. It’s the only location outside of Leeds that’s home to a Northern Monk tap room (at the minute, anyway…) so it’s only right that the next release in Dan’s Patrons Project series pays homage to this city.
And we’ve not messed about. Brian and the IPA wizards at @trackbrewingco have basically used every kind of hop format and addition there is. Dip hopping, mid-fermentation hops, dry hops, bright beer tank hops in the form of Citra, Mega Motueka, Eggers Special, Citrulicious Floe, Motueka Subzero Hopkief.
Like we said. ALL the hops.
