Iron Hill Turns 100….. (batches of beer out)
This is why I'm a brewer and not a caligrapher
This morning Jeff and I brewed Iron Hill, Maple Shade’s 100th batch of beer. We’re pretty excited, I don’t know if any of our locations have hit batch number 100 in such a short period of time. You guys drink a lot of beer! We thought since we were celebrating our hundreth batch, we’d make a 100-themed beer. So it doesn’t really fit into a style, the recipe all revolved around a number. Here it is;
100# Pilsner Malt
100# 2-Row Harrington
100# Maris Otter
100# Munich Malt
100# Vienna Malt
100# Carahelles
100# Malted Rye
100# Malted Wheat
100# Corn
100% Centennial hops (100 BU’s worth in the boil and 100 ounces for finishing hops)
Boiled at 100 degrees Celcius (actually that’s all of our beers, but hey…)
Should be out in around 3 weeks. I’ll let you know when for sure!
Cheers,
Chris

Chris,
I had the pleasure of speaking with you briefly on Friday night at the bar in Maple Shade. Just wanted to compliment you again on your Oatmeal Stout. It’s sooooo smooth and so good.
Looking forward to tasting #100.

Thanks Jay, glad you enjoyed the Stout. Good talking to you on Friday.

I think the Dunkelweissen has been the best yet. If it were to become part of the regular menu I think it would be perfect.

Chris,
Thanks for the kind words. And by the way, if you like Dunkelweizen you are in luck! I saved one keg of it for the beer dinner we’re doing tomorrow night. The dinner itself is sold out, but I’ll be putting it on tap for general consumption after the dinner tomorrow. It should be on for a night or two.
Cheers,
Chris
