Wit’s End One

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
What? Seems “1” is a pattern number with us? First year anniversary just passed, we brew beer one barrel at a time…and now our newest beer—One. This beer is what is affectionately known as a “SMaSH” beer in the brewing community. That is to say, a Single Malt and Single Hopped beer. That’s right, coming out of a brewery that is obsessed with complex malt bills, the brewer decided to embark on the extremely complex exercise of simplicity. We consider this beer to be loosely in the style of an Extra Pale Ale, and just because it’s named One, doesn’t mean you can’t try two. Why? We took two-row barley and Columbus hops—that’s it—to make this beer. A multi-step mash at different temperatures squeezed every characteristic we could out of the malt. We aggressively late hopped the beer in the boil to create massive Columbus hop characteristics, but without an overwhelming bitterness. It is a very perfumey, floral and citrusy beer that celebrates the Columbus hop with gusto. In fact, it should have a holiday named after it instead of that other guy.
