"Gravity" in the context of brewing refers to the density of the liquid extracted from the grain (wort). The density, or "gravity" of the wort depends on the sugar content (more sugar = higher density = higher gravity). By stuffing the mash tun to the gills with the highest quality barley, we’re able to extract a "High Gravity" wort with a higher concentration of natural sugar to which we add A LOT of hops. We mean LOTS OF HOPS! (HGIPA has an average of 4 lbs. of hops per barrel) PLEASE NOTE: To experience this naturally hand-crafted ale in all of its splendor, please keep it cold and consume when fresh, which means right now!
