so many new hop varietals, so little time... first i've heard of el dorado hops was from the brewdog website about their new 'ipa is dead' single hop series: James' Tasting Notes: El Dorado The Pacific North West of America is home to the brand spanking new El Dorado Hop. America is not just about cheer-leaders, a silly version of football, elastic top jeans and cheeseburgers. They grow remarkable hops and El Dorado is a killer example of this, embodying all that is good about American hops and then some. A new hop on the block, it may even seduce you into thinking the American Dream is not just a catch phrase to sell movies and elect Presidents. Fearfully hard to resist, this beer is loaded with tropical fruits, pear, watermelon, candy floss and stone fruit. Devilishly moreish. apparently   flying dog, new belgium and firestone walker have been brewing with them... flying dog's single hopped ipa got a 90 on ratebeer.com i must try these hops!

it would appear that the yanks beat out the scots on the first (british) leg of the international arms race zero ibu ipa-off between flying dog and brew dog (i say apparently because i have only seen the flying dog version thus far... and knowing these two breweries, there may be a contradictory story coming from brew dog any minute now!) Flying Dog Brewmaster Matt Brophy posted the above photo on Facebook moments after winning the International Arms Race. The classic Red, White, Blue, and Camo combination really brings out his golden complexion.

save the oysters! drink beer! Inside a hard, sometimes rough, exterior is a layer of soft tissue capable of producing gleaming white spheres desired around the world. Our newest release, Pearl Necklace Oyster Stout, is a tribute to the magical mollusks that not only cultivate gemstones, but are also crucial to the Chesapeake Bay's fragile ecosystem. Proceeds from Pearl Necklace, a dry stout brewed with local oysters, benefit the Oyster Recovery Project. Why is oyster recovery so important? •Disease, habitat loss, and overfishing have reduced the Chesapeake Bay's oyster population to a mere 1% of its historical peak. That's right, one percent! •Oysters are filter feeders. They used to be able to filter the entire Bay in a matter of days; now, it takes years. •A healthy oyster population provides a habitat for other (delicious) Bay creatures, like striped bass, perch, and blue crabs. •Even oyster shells are a limited natural resource. They are a natural habitat f...

for the april/may deschutes newsletter, click here especially exciting for me is the return of hop in the dark! HOP IN THE DARK Available late May-September Are you afraid of the dark? It appears not. In 2010, Draft Magazine and Wine Enthusiast Magazine called Hop in the Dark one of the top 25 beers of the year! This ominous looking liquid combines Northwest hops with roasted malts to create a black tinted India Pale Ale type beer. Its aromas come from Cascade, Amarillo, Citra, and Centennial hops that float over a gentle undercurrent of velvet malt complexities. Take the plunge - a hop, if you will - into this delectable Dark Cascadian Ale. Available in 22 oz bottles or on draft wherever Deschutes beer is sold. 6.5% Alc. by Vol. / 75 IBUs for the moylan's newsletter, click here for the rogue phillips pairing dinner, click here for the huffington post article about flying dog's raging bitch ipa, click here
