“This is the big one, Elizabeth!” – Fred Sanford
Come join us on Saturday, September 24th at Bog Turtle Brewery (14 s. 3rd Street, Suite 1, Oxford PA 19363) from 11 am to 3 pm for the release of our newest beer: 529 IPA
We packed our mash tun to the tippy -top to make this beautiful IPA. There is 50% more grain in each batch than we put in our Devils’s 9Ball Pale Ale! And hops?!? Twice as many hop additions (Magnum, Amarillo and Simcoe) starting earlier in the boil. And yes, we then dry hop it in the fermenters! MORE HOPS!!
What do you get from all of this wizardry? A magnificent IPA with a beautiful hop nose and just the right amount of hop zing to let you know you are drinking a true BIG IPA.
So, we have said its big. How big is it? Our 529 IPA rings in at 7.5% ABV!
This is the BIGGEST beer we have made to date and we broke the bank to make it. And by bank, we mean we raided our kids college funds. You see, in Pennsylvania you can put money aside for your children’s educations and any interest earned on the account is tax free! (http://www.pa529.com/) Most of our kids are still young enough that they won’t miss the money for a while but we felt we needed the money now to make this beauty. To be honest, we couldn’t wait to make it either.
There will be food from Elk Mt. BBQ; craft sales and artisans at Pickled Pickles and don’t forget the Oxford Apple Festival across the lot at Oxford Memorial Park! Finish the evening up by heading over to the SHS Oktoberfest http://www.shsoktoberfest.com/ and try some great home-brews at the Homebrew contest sponsored by Bog Turtle Brewery!
