Idle Hands – Riding Shotgun & 23° 26'

From Idle Hands:

Our newest beer, Riding Shotgun combines the characteristics of a German hefeweizen with the hoppiness of a pale ale to give an interesting twist on a summer wheat beer. We fermented Shotgun low to give you more spice than banana and then we hit it with a combination of German Opal, Sorachi Ace and Amarillo hops to create an herbal, citrusy lemon hop character.  Please, no additional lemon-squeezing required for this beer! Both bottles and growler fills will be available at the brewery beginning Saturday.

23° 26′

For those that were lucky enough to attend the American Craft Beer Festival (aka the ACBF) this year or to have been to the brewery recently, we have released a new "Hoppy Tripel" named after the tilt of the Earth’s semi-axis during the Summer Solstice (23 degrees, 26 minutes or 23-26 as we call it).  This beer isn’t Triplication with hops in it; it is a completely different recipe brewed with local wildflower and pepperbush honey, and loaded with a combination of spicy continental and juicy American & New Zealand hops including Saaz, Aurora, Amarillo and Galaxy.  Wow. It’s been on tap for just a few weeks now but the reviews are in and people have been loving it.  Starting Saturday, we’ll be releasing bottles at the brewery!
