\"hop-heads-beer-club\"<\/a>You made it clear to us that quite a few of you wanted more hops. Actually, only hoppy beers to be specific.\u00a0 We stuck our toe in the water earlier in the year and officially offered our members a way to customize their shipments each month, essentially calling us at the beginning of the month, finding out what the featured beers were and having us put only the hop-centric ones in their box that month.\u00a0 It was better than nothing, but in the end, not optimal because you guys had to remember to call us and if only one or two of the four featured beers were aggressively hopped, you\u2019d only get one or two beers that month.<\/p>\n

So we\u2019ve been quietly working with a lot of different breweries, better understanding how much it would cost to deliver a club that only features kick-ass, hoppy beers each month.\u00a0 Not just IPAs mind you.\u00a0 That would be so limiting, and you\u2019d miss out on some really amazing hoppy beers.\u00a0 Brewers are creating styles faster than ever.\u00a0 More and more, you can\u2019t easily categorize a beer neatly into any given style.\u00a0 Take for example Mikkeller\u2019s Wit Fit, which the brewery describes as a hoppy imperial wit.\u00a0 Clearly not an IPA, but I\u2019m here to tell you, Hop-heads will love this beer as it delivers plenty of citric, floral, and resinous notes, some acidity, and a clinging bitterness that hangs on in the finish.\u00a0 Don\u2019t panic. We\u2019re going to run a ton of IPAs in the club.\u00a0 In fact the majority of what we feature will be IPAs, but we\u2019re also going to run India Pale Lagers (IPLs), hoppy Red and Pale Ales, and other hop-centric beers.\u00a0 \u00a0Hops are obviously the key ingredient used to balance the malty sweetness in a beer\u2019s flavor profile, but they also contribute some pretty amazing aromatics and flavors so we\u2019re not just focusing on beers that have crushingly bitter hop profiles, but also beers that explore the many hop flavors and aromas available to today’s brewers.<\/p>\n

The club will feature two or more breweries each month and we\u2019ll even drop in an import in there from time to time when it makes sense. There are some really neat breweries out there now like Mexico\u2019s Agua Mala and Germany\u2019s BRLO that are crafting outstanding American style IPAs and other hoppy styles that are just now making their way to the American marketplace.\u00a0 That said, I expect something like 90% of our featured beers to come from US breweries.\u00a0 We\u2019re gonna send ya twelve, 12-oz. beers in each shipment, 3 different beers (4 bottles or cans of each).<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got some pretty sweet beers lined up for our inaugural shipment in November, including Route 1A, an 8.2% ABV big, boldly flavored Double IPA from Ipswich Brewery in Massachusetts.\u00a0 You\u2019re gonna dig it.<\/p>\n

No one else is doing anything quite like this in the market today, so naturally we\u2019re really excited about this club and hope you are too!<\/p>\n

Prost!
