(Spring Green, WI) – Furthermore Beer sent out a newsletter today about its latest beer.
Madison Beer Review reported last month that Furthermore Hopperbolic may eventually become a year-round release but not for the foreseeable future. Here’s the new update from the newsletter:
From the corn-fused mouth of Aran Madden:
“All of the hops for this beer were obtained from Wisconsin, from the Magna Cum Lately straight-A geeks of all things lupine (that means hoppy), Gorst Valley Hops. The trifecta of their 2010 harvest is Nugget, Cascade, and Mt Hood. My goal was to produce a beer with just enough malt to provide structure for the hop heavy recipe without darkening the bright presence of the varieties on display. And indeed, each glass is like a tiny aquarium of Wisconsin hops. No, you can’t see bitterness from the Nugget, coupled with the citrus zest of Cascades, and the juicy-fruit finish of the Ht Hood. But every sip is far more pleasing than the aqua museum that you knew as sea monkeys. That is my bitter promise.”
Here’s where you can get your local hops on, and where, if you please, you can come hang with the Gorst Valley Hops, Furthermore and (for Madison events) Madison Beer Review crews:
