Episode 623 - Hop Roundup: Premium Hops

from ABV Chicago Craft Beer Podcast · host ABV Chicago

We settle for no less than the best when it comes to choosing beers for our semi-regular hop roundups, and these five locals more than rise to the occasion. With our white gloves on, we're sampling some of the finest hops known to man, and sometimes we're surprised where we find the bitterness (or don't). Also, Craig needs grocery store advice, we touch on a brewery location rumor, Ryan's got some hot tips on curds (and nugs), and we both know now that we should've gone thick cut. Beers Reviewed Saint Errant Brewing - Lonely Negatives (West Coast IPA) Maplewood Brewing Company & Breakside Brewing - Wave Pool (West Coast IPA) Foreign Exchange - Keeping Secrets (Hazy Double IPA) Hop Butcher for the World & Madame ZuZus - Twilight to Starlight (Hazy Double IPA w/ tea) Suncatcher Brewing - Suncatcher ONE (Double IPA)
