Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station Trending Travis-ty Northeast-style Session IPA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From the Beer Writer:\u00a0<\/strong>During my time working for Stone Brewing<\/strong><\/a>, I made many great friends. The company is packed with brilliant, fun and kind people, and one of the nicest of them all is the man in charge of brewing operations at Stone’s Liberty Station brewpub,\u00a0Kris Ketcham<\/strong>. A champion of creativity who has indulged the desires of many novices in his brewhouse, he not only dares to try things others would avoid, but possesses the skill to pull off nearly every challenge thrown his way.\u00a0In 2015, when I kicked off a charity campaign to raise money for the\u00a0Lupus Foundation of Southern California<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>through the sale of specialty beers from local breweries, I had the chance to brew with Ketcham, and it was a joyfully educational experience. This year, he let me back in the brewhouse to help conjure another charity beer:\u00a0Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station Trending Travis-ty<\/strong>.\u00a0Aside from being long as all get out, there’s significance to the name of this hazy, “Northeast-style” session IPA. At the brewery I currently work for,\u00a0Societe Brewing<\/strong><\/a>, clarity is king. Our brewing team\u00a0strives to avoid haze in our IPAs and our brewmaster,\u00a0Travis Smith<\/strong>, finds what he calls the “muddy IPA” haze-craze to be\u00a0ridiculous if not a sacrilege. So we took this raging trend and made our own little “Travis-ty”. To be fair,\u00a0Ketcham and I prefer clear IPAs, too, but we thought it would be a fun challenge to create a not-overly-hazy IPA with big hop appeal and extremely low alcohol; a crushable beer that would benefit from increased body from a variety of adjuncts and provide that “juiciness” beer fans are looking for these days. It’s on tap now and a portion of proceeds help lupus patients in San Diego and Imperial Counties care of the\u00a0Beer to the Rescue<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>campaign.<\/p>\n

From the Brewer: <\/strong>\u201cThere have been a lot of trends in brewing over the years. The most recent one I can remember is session IPAs, and now we have \u2018the L replacement\u2019 hazy, juicy IPAs. As someone who\u2019s taken pride in learning and employing multiple techniques for achieving beer clarity, I find it such a travesty that we\u2019ve shifted into this. However, as much as I love to knock them, there is a uniqueness to them that even I find enjoyable from time to time. I also need to remind myself to keep an open mind, as we\u2019ve come a long way in the past twenty-plus years. All of us as \u2018craft\u2019 brewers have changed the perception of beer over the years and still continue to do with styles like these. Sometimes we enjoy them so much that we try our own interpretations with our own signature twists. Trending Travis-ty mixes the past and current trends brewers have been chasing. Take all the adjuncts that give you the trending haze and put them to use in a style that\u2019s lacking in body\u2014session IPA\u2014and you get a win-win result. For this beer, we used a blend of two-row, oats, wheat and dextrin malt to increase body and haze levels. No hops where harmed in the boiling of the wort. Instead, all of the hops used in this beer were added at the start of fermentation and post-fermentation to really bring on the haze. The combo of Mosaic, Loral and Vic Secret hops was a fun combination that uses Brandon and I\u2019s favorite new hops with a hop that is in damn near every single IPA on the market today. Clocking in at 4.3% alcohol-by-volume and 40 on the IBU (international bittering unit) scale\u2014all from the dry hop\u2014this beer fulfills those whose hipster mantras include \u2018I only drink hazy IPAs\u2019 and \u2018I only drink session beers.\u2019\u201d\u2014Kris Ketcham, Liberty Station Brewing Manager, Stone Brewing<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
