While many of you are participating in Dry January, some of us are participating in Double Dry-Hopped January. Double dry-hopping is the process of adding hops after the wort is cooled, twice to add those beautiful hop aromas to a beer. You are essentially dry-hopping the beer twice. There is no real set way to brew a DDH beer because every brewery and brewer has their own way of doing it. It’s all in the science and creativity of making this beautiful liquid we all love. Here are six beers to drink this (Double) Dry (Hopped) January.
SweetWater Brewing Co. | H.A.Z.Y. IPA
SweetWater H.A.Z.Y IPA is one of the newest beers they’ve added to their portfolio. The Atlanta-based brewery released this double dry-hopped IPA at the end of October. SweetWater’s H.A.Z.Y IPA is brewed with a combination of Mosaic, Citra, El Dorado and Azacca hops.
SweetWater’s release of H.A.Z.Y IPA highlights, yet again the trend of the hazy, juicy IPAs that are dominating the beer world. While the label on this beer is awesome, don’t stare at it too long. That is unless you are drinking a SweetWater 420 Extra Pale Ale. Then definitely stare at it.
sweetwaterbrew Verified H.A.Z.Y. starts pouring at @sweetwatertaproom TONIGHT. Look for this refreshing take on a double dry hopped IPA on tap near you starting as early as next week, with 6pks, 12pks and, if you're really nice to your neighbors, 24pks to follow.
