(Portsmouth, NH) – Quietly released within the past week or two…
According to SeaCoast Online:
Redhook brewer Andy Schwartz said this Treblehook is a bit different from past releases, but brewers used the same process as they did when they made the gold medal winner. “This year we went back to the original brewing process for the Treblehook,” he said. “(It’s) a process called double mashing.”
The process uses two separate mashes, which is the mixture of barley and hot water, to create one brew. Twice the barley and about a 12-hour brewing process rather than the standard six, Schwartz said.
“We collect only the first, most concentrated and intense liquid from each mash, and use it to make Treblehook,” Schwartz said. “This makes for a much more intense malt body to the beer. Much more time consuming and expensive, but very much worth the effort.”
Be on the lookout for this one on shelves right now. It appears to be a very limited release (and perhaps only for the East Coast?).
