We all love a hoppy West Coast IPA and there are many great examples out there so when one of our customers asked us to whip up another special BeerCo IPA Recipe Kit that pays 'homage' to some of the world's best brewers of the style we thought we would tip our hat in two directions at once if that is at all possible. We hop you love brewing Fresh Jack as much as we love putting this pack together for you! First hat tip is to the founders and brewers of Deschutes' for bringing the world Fresh Squeezed IPA and more importantly sharing with humble homebrewers like us and you how to have a crack at brewing your own at home. We did take a lot from their hopping regime, however we did not fully replicate their malt bill opting to tip our hat to someone else we admire for sharing his knowledge of how to brew great beer, so we opted for a malt bill not dissimilar to the one used by Matt Brynildson at Firestone Walker in his Union Jack IPA. We hop you love Fresh Jack IPA as much as we love building and sharing the recipe and kit with you to brew your own at home :-). Let us know what you think? Give the beer a "review after you brew" and make sure you #brewhappy and #drinkhappier and always responsibly! cheers...now on with the show!
