Ithaca CascaZilla

news@pixelithaca.com (Team Pixel) — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 17:42:00 +0000

The name CascaZilla is a play on both the name of our local Cascadilla Gorge and the monster amounts of Cascade hops in this beer. This red ale gets its distinctive color from a healthy portion of caramel malt, which also lends some body and sweetness to the beer. The predominant flavor and aroma of this beer, however, is brought to you by the fresh American hops. If you haven't done so yet, treat yourself to Ithaca Beer's new monstrously hoppy Red Ale.

Victory Braumeister Pils

news@pixelithaca.com (Team Pixel) — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 18:29:00 +0000

n the summer of 2000 we started a new experiment. Loving the Prima Pils, but wondering what it might taste like if we isolated each of it’s four hop varieties to taste them on their own, we brewed the ‘Black Forest Pils’ to taste German grown Tettnanger Tettnang hops full on. A beer we had enjoyed in the Black Forest in 1987, Waldhaus Pils, inspired this investigation. From there we went on to the ‘Might Zatec Pils’ with Czech Saaz hops. At that point we had a series going which we have called Braumeister Pils. The approach is the same with each brew. Basically the Prima Pils recipe, but featuring only 1 variety of whole flower hops, kegged and served unfiltered in the ‘keller’ (“cellar”) style. Ten tasty years of this fun in Downingtown and now it is time to share this joy with a larger audience. Therefore, you’ll find these draft specialties in your area, hopefully, this year: January – Braumeister Pils / Tettnanger Tettnang March - Braumeister Pils / Czech Saaz May - Braumeister Pils / Hallertauer Spalt Select July - Braumeister Pils / Czech Sladek October - Braumeister Harvest Pils / wet American grown hops

Harpoon Maple Wheat

news@pixelithaca.com (Team Pixel) — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 17:47:00 +0000

Catamount Maple Wheat is a full-bodied, smooth wheat ale made with genuine Vermont maple syrup. The original version of this beer was brewed in the winter of 2009 by Harpoon Vermont sales representative John Baker. Harpoon brewer Brett Simmons based his 2011 version on John's recipe, with some tweaks to make it his own. It is brewed with a combination of wheat malt, pale malt, caramel malt, and mildly hopped with Willamette. The balance of malts and hops allows the distinct flavor and aroma of real Vermont maple syrup to take the lead. The pure Vermont maple syrup used in the beer came from Baker Farm in East Dummerston - the family farm of John Baker - and Scrag Mountain Sugar House in Waitsfield. The maple sweetness and body that blankets this velvety amber beer showcases one of New England's most beloved traditions.
