We just tapped a firkin of Sorachi APA. Sorachi Ace is a new (to us) Japanese varietal of hop. Our friends at North Country supplies were just as excited as we were about this hop, and hooked us up with a bunch to play around with. Sweet! To test the Sorachi-y waters, we dry-hopped half a dozen firkins of Ironbound with an inordinate amount of our new hop. The result? A super lemony pale ale with nuances of cedar and vanilla. What a beautiful miscreant of a hop! Look out for an all Sorachi beer (belgian pale? biere de mars? saison?) to hit the taps within the next month or so.
Also, our oak fermented, 100% Drie Brett pale ale, Dr. Drie is on tap for your funkified pleasure.
