Grist to The Mill of Why

"Grist to the Mill of Why" is our nod to the quintessential New Zealand novel, “The Bone People” by Keri Hulme. Rakau hops from New Zealand are the main character in this New England Style IPA storyline. “Why does, why is, why not?” Never stop asking why. Drink up those answers with a rabid thirst. Chew on them, swish them around and then swallow. Child-like curiosity is never a bad thing. Hops from Australia and New Zealand have become an important part of our hop regime. This is why we love this time of the year: just as the U.S hops are ripening and preparing for harvest, the freshest hops from Down Under start arriving in our warehouses. In this New England Style IPA we feature the versatile Rakau hop from New Zealand paired with the like-minded Amarillo and Mosaic hops from the Pacific Northwest. Experiencing the fresh summer aromas of these hops is amazing. Notes of tropical mango, ripe peach, and mellow citrus will awaken your thirst. Take a sip and let the lush juicy character wash over your senses.
