Featured Beer
Surf’s Up Symposium IPA
Brewed by Green Flash Brewing
Surf’s Up Symposium IPA was brewed by Green Flash Brewing Co. with input from several brewers from around San Diego County. Many different hopping techniques were employed such as mash hopping, first wort hopping, multiple kettle hop additions including whirlpool hops, use of a hop-back, and finally dry hopping. Even with so much emphasis on hopping, balance of the overall brew was still given its due consideration for full enjoyment of the waves of hop character throughout. Chuck Silva Brewer [more]
