Alberta SMASH

A SMASH beer is a beer that uses a Single Malt And Single Hop in the brewing process. For our first SMASH beer brewed at Paddy’s we decided to celebrate a couple of amazing companies based in Alberta. The malt we decided to use was sourced from Red Shed Malting in Penhold, AB. The malt we selected is called Kananaskis and is similar to a light Munich malt. The malt flavor in this beer is absolutely delightful with notes of freshly baked bread, bread crust and cracker. To balance the beer and contribute hop flavor and aroma we contacted Northern Hop Girls. We selected whole leaf challenger hops, which resulted in earthy, spicy and cedar notes. Thanks so much to these two great companies that help make the Alberta beer scene even more amazing Show Less
