Hart & Thistle Hop Mess Monster v2.0
Brewer: Hart & Thistle Gastropub & Brewery
Style: IIPA DIPA - Imperial / Double IPA
Alcohol Content: 9.2%
Seasonal: No
Description:
Doubling a mighty 533 theoretical IBUs of the original Monster, v.2.0 clocks in at 1066 theoretical IBUs with a lighter but equally satisfying 9.2% ABV. This beer has been marred with pure hopdonkulous deliciousness and insanity, just because I can. Messie reigns as Canada’s most aggressively hopped beer, possibly the hoppiest beer in the world but honestly who cares. I didn’t design this beer to win any contests, rather for the full-on unforgettable experience of hop oil in your glass.
Brewing the Monster was a challenging process with tremendous wort loss, there were no extracts used. It’s been infused with hop pellets as well as whole hops throughout each stage of the brewing process totaling just over 18.5 pounds per barrel. The beer is a testament to just how wonderful these glorious flowers can be - it’s been mash-hopped, first-wort-hopped, bitter-hopped, flavour-hopped, aroma-hopped, hop-bursted and dry-hopped again and again. If you’re wondering why I’ve downgraded the ABV to 9.2% from the 11% ABV of the original last year it’s because I couldn’t fit any more malt in the mash-tun, it was literally full to the top with the massive quantities of hops added.
Messie v.2.0 is a liquid hop delivery vehicle exactly as it was intended it to be.
