Brew Of The Month Something Dark Beer

We all enjoy the occasional trip to the dark side and this rich, malt-driven, yet sessionable ale will leave you questioning which side of the force has the greater influence on you.

This is a simple method of creating a little more depth and body to your brew by steeping some grain, including some roasted Carafa II and complements the aromatic lift of the Cascade hops to enhance the floral notes of this beer.

The S-04 yeast backs up the fruity esters and will have you shooting lighting from your fingertips in no time. A dry hop addition at the end of fermentation will leave this Something Something Something Dark Ale, something something something complete…
