File Under – I Like Creativity, but….

unspecified
Fort Collins Brewery has a new beer by the name of Double Down and the style is a Gose IPA. Yup, Sea Salt, coriander and low ABV tartness meets Southern Hemisphere hops and lemon peel.

As I have mention on many an occasion, I love experimentation. But this is over the line for me. How about make a really solid, plain German style Gose or add in some local ingredient and make a Fort Collins Gose. Start your own appellation. Then make a new winter IPA or Snowy Season IPA. I just don’t see how these two mix without the Gose being submerged and being left with a SIPA, Salted India Pale Ale.

Photo Bomb Away

If you have the creative side and love taking beer photos than the new April seasonal, Scarlett on Brett from Fort Collins Brewing will allow you to take wild photos to match the wild ale and maybe win a prize.

The Colorado brewery is asking craft beer fans to post their “most adventurous photos” on either Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, make sure to add the hashtag #ScarlettTakeover.

The beer is an 8% a wild ale using that wild Brettanomyces yeast strain in the primary fermentation. Fort Collins Brewer Shaun Salyards, explains further, “As a primary fermentation strain, brett will create tropical flavors. While we wanted to showcase the brettanomyces, we also wanted to make the beer drinkable and that’s what I love about it. It remains approachable but hopefully educational for folks who haven’t tasted a primary fermented brett beer.”
