So this guy walks into Laurelwood...

and says, "What seasonals do you have on now? You haven't updated your blog in so long I though you forgot about me." Well guy, we didn't forget. We've just been busy brewing beer and haven't had a chance to sit down and write a blog entry. But to answer your question:

At 51st: Standards, Xtra Pale Ale, Indy's Strong Golden and for Thursday

Infrared

aka Beer’s Law

 

With this beer we right a terrible wrong in the world of physics. Since learning that Beer’s Law has nothing to do with beer, but instead the absorption of light in a solution, we’ve been terribly confused. Well now we present Infrared, a beer that seriously considers the law:

 

266c6119bba14c2c70c74cec1dda1b2f

 

Infrared is what our Free Range Red would be like if brewed in Belgium. Brewed with Belgian yeast and malt and a heavy does of European hops, we’ve shown that molecular absorption spectrometry really can be fun.

 

6.8% ABV

55 IBUs

O.G. 16º Plato

 

At Pizza Co. Standards, Mibutsr Brown and

 

Green Mammoth

Organic Imperial IPA

 

This is the Imperial (read big ‘ol) version of our Green Elephant Organic IPA. This beer is all about hops, hops and more hops. Cascade, Ahtanum and Amarillo hops added in the kettle, hop back and fermenter give this beer it’s kick. Warning- not for the faint-of-palate.

 

8.5 % ABV

 85 IBUs

O.G. 19 º Plato

 

Organic Manuka Honey Ale

 

For this seasonal ale we used Organic Manuka Honey from New Zealand.  Manuka Honey, found only in New Zealand, is made from tea tree pollen, giving the honey rich color and flavor.  Known for its healthful properties and is thought of as Nature’s medicinal miracle.  The honey gives this ale a nice floral nose and a smooth crisp finish, making it a perfect summer beer.

 

5.6% ABV

25 IBUs

O.G. 13º Plato

 

At Laurelwood Northwest: Standards and Indy's Strong Golden Ale.

 

By the way, can someone please explain that logarithm thing posted above?

 

Cheers!

 

Chad
