True. Although I appreciate the gimmick factor of 15 hops for 15 beers. Ultimately though it doesn't accomplish much else haha.

It'll be hard to fill up that label though with 3 varieties. :lolno:
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter. :wtf:

It is intensely hoppy. reminds me of Greg's beers! ;)

It's great. I can't taste the mango though. The ginger? Well, that could be spicy hop, but either way it is a great beer for hopheads.
I drink to make others more interesting

Probably not Thursday, but perhaps Friday or Saturday!

Talk to the brew man. He may be able to help you out.
Brewing right now: whatever is going on tap at Stillwell in a few weeks.

When I was there last we chucked in some extra hops because it wasn't quite snappy enough. I imagine that helped, but am looking forward to seeing what it did to the taste.

Looks like you're in luck Graham. The RB blog says it'll be on tap tomorrow.
