Fordham & Dominion Brewing Co. Release Hop Lips IPA
Hop Lips IPA showcases both Nelson-Sauvin and Citra hops with notes of white wine fruitiness, melon, lime, and passion fruit. These big aroma and flavor varieties alongside a classic east coast malt body create an IPA drinkers best friend. “Can you believe we’ve been brewing good beer since 1989 and here we are in 2015 releasing our first ever IPA?” said Jim Lutz, President and CEO of Fordham & Dominion Brewing Co.

Hoppin’ Frog Hop Dam Triple IPA Release December 13-14, 2013
Brewing Hop Dam Triple IPA required us to build a large stainless steel hop dam for our kettle, just for this beer! It was worth all the effort, because this beer is extremely hoppy and very satisfying, using 50% more hops than our Mean Manalishi Double IPA!! Hop Dam has a bitterness level that is very high, but refined, and therefore quite refreshing. Along with all the standard hop additions during the boil, it is also mash-hopped, first-kettle-hopped, and dry-hopped!!! Hop Dam is a 100% American-style IPA, dominated by the top-rated, assertive and refined Amarillo hops, along with lots of great aroma and flavor from the popular Columbus and Centennial hops. These are some of my favorite hops, and they work great together, making Hop Dam TRIPLE IPA our new standard for hoppy beers!! And at 10.0% alcohol by volume (http://thefullpint.com/beer-news/hoppin-frog-hop-dam-triple-ipa-release-december-13-14-2013/)
Otter Creek Hop Session Ale is smooth but pales in comparison for hoppiness and body. Perhaps the fact that Hop Session Ale is not a true IPA holds it back from being something more (http://colbinski.blogspot.nl/2013/09/ipa-madness-tourney-2013-ii-round-1.html).
When hops are harvested, there is a 48 hour period when they can be used fresh in the brewing process. This year, we had 420 lbs of fresh Centennial hops air-shipped to us. We used these hops to brew Fresh Hop Ale 2014 - our first Session IPA.
This single-hop beer comes in at 5.25% ABV and 69 IBUs. In addition to the typical hop additions of an IPA, we added the freshly harvested Centennial hops towards the end of the boil to create a very hoppy, but very drinkable IPA. The fresh hops create a slightly softer bitter than dried hops do.

“Triple IPA is a difficult style of beer to master and breweries that do it well are highly revered,” says Kim Sharpe Jones of the Washington Beer Blog...To brew a good Triple IPA, brewers use a substantial amount of malted barley, which provides the elevated alcohol content. To balance-out the malty sweetness and give the beer its requisite hoppy character, brewers rely on substantial quantities of hops. In Washington, hops are more than an ingredient; they’re a way of life. The Yakima Valley produces between 75 and 80 percent of the nation’s hop crop each year and some of the farms are operated by families that have grown hops for four and five generations (www.washingtonbeerblog.com/2nd-annual-hop-mob-triple-ipa-roadshow/).
