Q2 PRIVATE COLLECTION: SPRING ON THE PATIO

SPRING 2021 | LIMITED RELEASE APRIL – JUNE

Goodbye cabin fever!

Spring has sprung in the Pacific Northwest welcomed by days of sunshine, the sound of birds chirping, and the ever-so-missed sound of friends gathering. Warmer weather brings the tastes of Spring from kettle sours to double IPAs. Brewed to share, whether that may be on the patio, at the beer garden, or in your backyard. Spring 2021’s Private Collection holds something for brewers of all skillsets; novice to expert or modern to traditional techniques.

For those still perfecting their craft, 1217-PC West Coast IPA has thorough attenuation, temperature tolerance, and medium-high flocculation, making this strain particularly easy to work with. Mild ester provides a well-balanced neutral flavor creating a focal point for hops, malts, and other flavors to show through eloquently. Pair your West-Coast-Style craft beer with strong and bold flavors of Biryani to heighten the spice and bring out the sharp hops.

For the Brewers looking for something subtle and light in color, 2575-PC Kӧlsch II adds rich flavor drawing attention to its smooth malty finish. Feel like you’re in the heart of Germany with bratwursts, nutty cheeses, and German-Style Kӧlsch. Experiment working with 2575-PC fermentation procedures to produce fruity ales or clean lagers depending on your brewing preference.

5223-PC Lactobacillus brevis creates remarkable Fruit Lambics and Berliner Weisses, making this strain quintessential for Spring. Working with 5223-PC can be challenging and timely; therefore, brewers need to work patiently for proper aging. Worth the wait when you pair dry Fruit Lambic with prosciutto and pear or ceviche and a pint of Gueuze.

Welcome the arrival of Spring with this quarter’s Spring on the Patio private collection. You’ll find these exclusive strains in our limited release from April through June of 2021! Whether you’re a homebrew enthusiast or one of the pros revel in the taste of longer and warmer days.
