Fwd: Yazoo Hop Project 62 out today, lots of West-coast goodness


Yazoo Hop Project 62 out today, lots of West-coast goodness





Hop Project #62 was bottled three times: DEC5.11, DEC20.11, and JAN4.12.

For this one we used all American west-coast style varieties - Cascade, Columbus, Centennial, Chinook, Northern Brewer, and Nugget. The result - a burst of grapefruit, long chewy bitterness, and a woody, slightly minty finish.

We did multiple batches of this recipe to try to get it out to all our markets. And that's a good thing, because this is now one of my favorites so far! When all is said and done with #62, we will have shipped it to middle TN, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Memphis, central MS (Jackson, Vicksburg, Greenwood) and starting in mid January, the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Cheers,

definitely one of my favorites so far as well. Had a few today while brewing my own little hop project of sorts with amarillo, cascade, centennial, willamette, and nugget hops.

Just picked up 5 six packs in Jackson, MS. This is one of the few IPAs we get in MS and I appreciate Yazoo making a presence here.

I love the variations of Hop Project. It makes our state's weak IPA selection seem more vast.
