We’re officially in the middle of our summer months and as much as we love huge barrel aged stouts and thick, rich barleywine, now is the time for easy-drinking and refreshing. Our members have volunteered to brew up their best take on a session beer. While not a specific BJCP style, it is noted in Category 21B, Specialty IPA, that session strength is between 3.0-5.0%. However, for the sake of our contest, the ABV is limited to 4.0%.
Don’t think that you can have a flavorful beer with that low an ABV? Think again! Also, if you think that making a beer like this is easy? Think again! One of the largest challenges is a lack of “extra” ingredients to hide behind. The temps are likely to be hot come July 27, 7:30PM at Clifford’s Supper Club in Hales Corners, but the beers we will have on tap will be cold and crisp and ready to quench you thirst. Hope to see you there!
