Our friends at Three Hills organized an expedition to Alkmaar. To honor the British tradition we're, together, brewing an historic style with a modern twist. Inspired by the Porter exported to India, we bring you a Double India Porter. We acknowledge British ancestry and mastery in beer brewing but plenty has changed ever since. For our interpretation of the style, we're doing a double mash to increase mouthfeel and malt complexity. For hops, we're contrasting with some modern varieties, hot side we chose the quintessential modern Cascade and a touch of Chinook. During maturation we gently dry hopped with some more Cascade and Chinook. Then, cold side, we applied our modern twist adding Sabro Cryo for a unique piney and coconut blend. This beer honors tradition and the historic importance of the United Kingdom in beer brewing while contemplating what there's to come in future.
