71 Minute IPA

In an heaux-mage to Sam Calagione's Dogfishy 60 and 90 minute IPAs, Chief Engineer Walrus came up with a 71 Minute IPA recipe. Featuring copious on-the-minute additions of Columbus and Amarillo hops, this India Pale Ale should clock in at a hefty 7.5% ABV when all is said and done. Why 71? It's the year in which we were both extracted from our mothers' fun-holes!

At around 14 SRM, our latest creation sports British 2-row as its base, with some Bengali rice, Carahell, Crystal 40L, Belgian Aromatic and raw cane sugar for good measure. More on this later, as it's percolating away in a chilly 55° of cellar love.

OG=1.08 IBU=71 SRM=14
