Church Brew Fresh Hop American Dry Stout

Commercial Description:
The next rotating Blast Furnace Stout is a Fresh Hop American Dry Stout. This stout was brewed to celebrate the fall harvest of both barley and hops. The style of stout represented is a creation of your humble brewers. Similar to an Irish Stout, the Dry Stout is a lighter in color and typically not nitrogenated, also the chocolate malt was eliminated from the grain bill. The reason for this was not to overpower the fresh hop aroma and flavor. Fresh hops have a much “greener” flavor that some might call “leafy” or “grassy”. The color of this stout is a pronounced black with some ruby highlights. The aroma is that of hops. When first tasting the stout, you will notice some fruitiness as well as toffee and coffee. The finish will be dry and “grassy”. We hope that everyone enjoys our tribute to the hardworking farmers, maltsters, and hop growers who provide us with the best possible raw materials!
