Through every iteration of our growth over the last demi-decade, one thing that has persisted throughout is this brewery’s love of hops, and how we’ve born an entire business that now looks after the livelihoods of fourteen team members from this love. The Hop Studio felt like a natural extension of this love - showcasing the single most complex, wonderfully diverse ingredient we use in our process bar none. Simcoe has been a pillarstone of this brewery since day one, and possibly our most used hop across the board. We love the straight up “Cascade on steroids” vibe we get from this wildly popular varietal, and feel its incredibly intense flavour profile of grapefruit, passionfruit, pine and berry are best utilised in an equally intense double IPA. With a lick of biscuit sweetness from our use of Golden Promise in the mash, and wrapped up in our bespoke LA3 strain to accentuate all those fruit-forward juicy flavours.
