Little Creatures Stimulus Ipa

[mikem108]

Got this in the email today , pity it won't make it to Sydney

To make sure they keep themselves ultra busy, our crazy team of Brewers have come out with a special one off beer.... and what have they done this time I hear you say???

Well, we can tell you it has been christened "The Stimulus IPA".

We're not to sure if this is what Kevin had in mind with his stimulus ideas, but we think this is just what we need at a time like this!

This little beauty is a combo of pale, munich and dark crystal malts to give it a touch of colour and backbone.

The new arrival of hops for the USA spurred on this latest project and are used the whole way through the brewing of this batch. 100% US cascades... hops in the kettle, hops in the whirlpool, hops in the hopback and even some dry-hopping in the fermenter for good measure.

The brewers vote that it beats that other stimulus package going round, but we'll let you decide....all in all though we think it's a Ruddy Good Deal!

Come on down to the brewery and ask for it fresh out of the tap! ...and for those of you in or around Melbourne, watch out for it at Little Creatures Dining Hall in Fitzroy!

I was in Perth over the Easter weekend and dropped into the LC brewery to taste a *few*. I tried the stimulus ale and it is a nice drop but a little too hoppy for my liking. I nearly scored a copy of the recipe as it was written up on a notepad behind the counter but i didnt have a pen on me.

Definatley a great place to visit if you are in Fremantle.

Airfares to Melb are cheap Chappo, plus i'm sure you could work out some sort of sleeping arrangement with Ed the Dog (Brewing Assistant and Chief Security Officer)at our place if you do make it down.

Had it on Wed night in Freo - pretty good, as was the pizza. The place was packed.

Tastes like LCPA used to taste (US cascade), but more heavy in the flavour hops. Unusual that is was light on in bitterness, and light on in aroma. Must have hopped mainly for flavour.

Worth dropping in for!

Providing what ever you were doing didn't interupt him "getting sexy" with your leg or shoes, he'd be fine.

Regarding work, we have been considering renovations at home, and there is plenty of beer available for busy workers! B) Though i guess it's just one of those jobs you'd need to see first hand!
