Ghost of a Hop (Chinook)

Oh, it's you... You know, I'm getting a little tired of you and your newfangled hazy-juicy-murky-IPAs. When I was your age, we didn't have any Citra, Mosaic, or Nelson...our hops didn't smell like candy, they smelled like grapefruit and pine and were named after rivers and mountains, and if they didn’t start with the letter “C,” we didn’t want ‘em! You kids have no idea how easy you have it. Do you even know what it’s like to pick between a Cascade or a Cluster-hopped IPA? No, you don’t, so we’re going to take a little trip back in time and revisit some of these classic hops that may or may not have fallen out of fashion, apply modern hopping amounts and techniques, and wrap it up in a semi-classic Westcoast IPA form factor. Ghost of a Hop is the latest and not likely last in our Single Hop Series of beers. For those of you who haven’t had the honor of drinking an IPA made with Chinook hops, or those who miss its grapefruit peel and pine needle-powered profile, we encourage you to grab a Ghost of a Hop.
