Brewed By:
Brooklyn
Self-Defined Style:
San Diego Strong Pale Ale The first in a line of Brewmaster's "Special Reserve" beers, BLAST! Is a riotous celebration of hops. Here in Brooklyn, we're half-way between the hop country of Yakima Valley, Washington and the hop country of Kent in England. So we use the bright citrusy American hops to bring the noise and earthy English hops to build the foundation of a hop monster brandishing five pounds of hops per barrel with considerable finesse. The varieties are half American, half English and the malts bring solidity, balance and beautiful flavors to a golden beer that's ludicrously hoppy, strangely quaffable and oddly compelling. You won't even know what hit you.
Best With:
BLAST! has a big enough flavor to work wonders with very spicy foods, especially Thai dishes, fiery Indian vindaloos, Mexican dishes featuring habanera chilies, and Jamaican jerk chicken.
Special Attributes:
Big Beer (+8.0% ABV)
