Today we announced that have brewed our Hazy IPA (Foggy Dew) using 100% Hop Flakes from New Zealand.
It`s the FIRST Hazy IPA brewed with 100% Hop Flakes outside of New Zealand, and less than the 10th beer brewed in the WORLD with Hop Flakes.
Hazy IPAs are notoriously among the most expensive and wasteful beer styles to produce due to the massive volume of hop pellets required to achieve their signature tropical taste and aromas. We historically experienced an average 19% liquid loss per batch of Hazy IPA trapped in spent hop sludge. 19%! That`s a TON of waste/money!
By replacing traditional hop pellets with concentrated Flake-It™ hop flakes from Wairoa Hop Extracts of New Zealand, we have solved the BIGGEST issue in brewing Hazy IPAs, all while cutting raw ingredient costs and reducing labor.
Kudos to our Head Brewer, Dan Pund for proposing the idea, and then making it a success! It already on tap at Padraigs so STOP IN and have one.
