I’m a sucker for seasonal beers, and the best time of
year for seasonals has to be the Holidays, and Christmas in particular. This
year I wanted to deviate from some of the usual suspects such as Belgian Bier
De Noels, Holiday spiced Winter Warmers, and other big Christmas offerings to try
something a little more West Coast. What’s more West Coast than IPA? Well, I
don’t know but I do know I wanted to do something a bit more than imperializing
it. Luckily, I had a pretty great recipe of Honey IPA and with a little
inspiration for Randy Mosher’s Radical
Brewing the addition of Ginger seemed perfect. He advocates the use of East
Kent Goldings exclusively, which I was a bit reluctant about but it was
definitely worthwhile. I hope you enjoy this spin on a “Christmas IPA.”
