The craft beer industry has seen a fast rise in brand-new hop and yeast tech over the last two years. Created in the lab they now bring a modern boost to both flavour and sustainability.
These innovations are not simple, they will adapt and expand flavour whilst taking some serious explaining from us, BBF, to you, the drinker. A classic limited edition series allows us this space to explore this future with you.
We've crossed the Rubicon, from hop-boosted oil to hybrid biotransforming yeast, welcome to the next brewing level.
AMPLIFIED.
In we go for a deep dive:
#1of4 - FULL THROTTLE 4.4% - Cask Session IPA
Welcome to Hyperboost, a fresh out the lab concentrated hop oil extract that lights the burners on aroma. Simcoe single hop with a BBF twist, the O.G West-Coast hop in both hop and Hyperboost oil format for a true deep dive.
Aroma is amplified with signature grapefruit and pine leading you into Simcoe's bright citrus and berry finish.
88mph.
#2of4 - NO RETURN 5.0% - Can & Keg Cryo IPA
Fresh to the game: Mango Madness yeast plays a pressing role bringing its own mango aroma & amplifying the hops zest. Cryo HBC 630 chosen for signature complex sweet berries, finishing with a turbo combo of Nectaron & Citra for that citrus snap.
We've crossed the rubicon.
#3of4 - POWER UP 4.0% - Cask Session IPA
Charge the pint, this one has a kick.
Pomona hybrid yeast meets two iconic U.S hops four ways, peak Amplify.
Pomona yeast = hybrid, so brings both its own flavour and amplifies the hops' energy. Pomona sets the tone with fresh peach and tropical base, BBF staple hop Azacca in both T90 pellet and Spectrum oil format adds classic citrus depth. Ekuanot's mango and passionfruit provide the vibrant finish.
Fully charged.
#4of4 - PHANTASY LEAGUE 4.4% - Can & Keg Amplified IPA
Yeast & hops boosted into space. Pomona hybrid yeast brings its own peach, tropical base & biotransforms hop character. Phantasm plays the same game, thiolised powder that elevates flavour.
Nelson Sauvin has its burners lit, pure Kiwi sauvignon depth with a fresh grape finish.
Amplified.
