New Golden Road Brewmaster Re-Writes Recipes

Jesse Houck didn’t waste any time. Just about one month after taking over the brewmaster post at burgeoning Golden Road Brewing, Houck has rewritten the recipes for the company’s two best-known IPA brands, including its flagship Point the Way.

When Golden Road launched in late 2011, it did so with two primary beers — its namesake Hefeweizen and Point the Way. The latter was credited on Golden Road’s website as being "one of the reasons we opened" the brewery. With most IPAs — India pale ales — coming in with an alcohol-by-volume of near 7% or above, Point the Way was an anomaly, a more demure offering with an ABV of 5.2%.
