2024 Brew - 3-Score Pour

The 2024 recipe was inspired by the classic Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale.  It's a late fall/early winter seasonal ale that is famous for using fresh harvested pacific northwest hops.  The hop profile for this version of the beer includes Centennial, Cascade, and Chinook which are known for their citrus and pine flavors.  We used a rich caramel malt along with a late addition chocolate malt for balance and to give the beer it's classic reddish coloring.  Lastly, we used a Chico yeast strain from California which performs well at standard ale temperatures and is known for producing exceptionally crisp ales.
