If beer's ingredients were a rock band, hops would be the sexy and enigmatic lead singer swarmed by groupies and pestered for its autograph while the malt and yeast stand up the back keeping time and the rhythm. But are all strutting rock gods the same?
This Hump Day puts hops where the lead singer belongs, front and centre, with a tasting of seven IPAs from Danish brewer Mikkeller, each brewed with a different single hop.
We will be sampling India Pale Ales featuring the following hops:
- Galena
- Magnum
- Simcoe
- Tettnanger
- Cascade
- Saaz
- Amarillo
Get a sense for the different flavours that hops can bring to a beer, all while enjoying great company, light nibbles and getting over that mid-week hump.
