On this episode of Drink Beer, Think Beer, it’s a conversation with Todd Malloy and Robin Reed of the Glenwood Canyon Brewpub in Colorado. This year the brewery is celebrating 30 years in operation, and in the previous two years has won gold medals for its festbier at the Great American Beer Festival. They brewed a fresh batch for this year’s World Beer Cup, which is currently holding its first round of judging. The brewing duo talk about getting a beer ready for competition, and how to build an award winning seasonal lager.

Our Tropics yeast is based on a London Ale strain, but we added a new gene to its genome that codes for a unique thiol-releasing enzyme. The enzyme converts the precursors in barley to free thiols that smell and taste like passionfruit and grapefruit. It’s super clean. No off-flavors like burnt rubber or other sulfurous notes. Just tropical aromatics. You don’t have to do anything unusual either, like mash hopping. Just pitch dry Tropics and supercharge your hazy IPA.
Calling all hop heads! Dogfish Head’s 60 Minute IPA is a fantastically hoppy India Pale Ale that’s beautifully balanced thanks to their unique continual hopping method. Delivering a pungent hop flavor that isn’t crushingly bitter, 60 Minute is continually hopped throughout the boil for a full 60 minutes … starting to see where the name comes from?!
