I am going to keep my eye out for this one.

I have tried a few of these Pre-Prohibition brews and they are usually quite good.

Good luck to them finding those hops however, there will be very limited supplies of them, although substitutions could easily be made.

Pinging the Homebrewers for input.



On or off the Homebrewers Ping List, let me know.

Most of the pre-prohibition beer was what we would call “micros” today. Emergence form prohibition is what created national beer.. bland, tasteless, white bread, boring. It wasn’t until deregulation when home brewing and micros re-emerged that real beer re-appeared – no adjuncts and hoppy goodness.

But, you have never tasted beer that is better the fresh 6 week out of ferment, conditioned, unpasteurized beer, when it is at its peak of flavor. Homebrewing leads to some bad results, but if you don’t get too crazy with your recipe, it is almost always just the way you want it and have never tasted it before.

I forgot to look to see if my local HBS has either of these hops in stock when I was in earlier. Tonight’s “home improvement” project is an all-Chinook recipe, so I had my head in the American Hops end of the fridge.
