New English Two Legit Double IPA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From the Beer Writer: <\/strong>Since meeting New English Brewing Co.<\/a> <\/strong>owner Simon Lacey<\/strong>, I\u2019ve admired his devotion to crafting high quality versions of the beers of his homeland. In a day and age where most locally produced versions of U.K. beer styles are given West Coast or imperial treatment, for the most part, New English\u2019s beers are brewed to style. Early on, Lacey stuck exclusively to a line-up that included a brown ale, extra special bitter (ESB) and decidedly British India pale ale (IPA). He\u2019s since expanded his repertoire to include West Coast IPAs, and they\u2019ve turned out fantastic. When we talked about the type of beer he\u2019d produce for my lupus fundraising campaign, Beer to the Rescue<\/strong><\/a>, he grinned and said he thought we should play off the word lupus\u2019 resemblance to Humulus lupulus<\/em>, the compound in hops that brings so much bitterness to beers. For him, that meant brewing New English\u2019s first-ever double IPA. I\u2019m glad he decided to go outside the IBU and ABV box, and honored he did so in conjunction with this passion project.<\/p>\n

From the Brewer: <\/strong>\u201cAfter brewing two American IPAs\u2014a West Coast-style rye IPA called Humbly Legit, and an IPA heavily dry-hopped with Citra and Mosaic called Pure and Simple\u2014we decided that a double IPA might fit into our balanced beer philosophy after all. One Saturday I was drinking a Drake\u2019s Brewing Co.<\/a> <\/strong>flight at Blind Lady Ale House<\/strong><\/a>, when I came to the Hopocalypse IIPA. I wasn\u2019t expecting to enjoy it as much as the other beers in the flight, but it turned out to be a revelation! Beautifully bitter but bright and balanced, I decided right there that we would also make a double IPA. We started working on the recipe immediately and, soon after, we produced Two Legit IIPA. It\u2019s not a double version of Humbly Legit. It\u2019s a completely new recipe with no rye malt, but we liked the name. It\u2019s based on U.S. two-row base malt with some German Munich plus wheat malt for body and head retention. Hopped with copious quantities of CTZ, Nugget and Summit in the kettle, and Summit and Centennial dry hops, the alcohol content is 9.2% and the IBUs register a solid 90-plus.\u201d\u2014Simon Lacey, Owner & Brewmaster, New English Brewing Co.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
