Wedding Beers

For my brother's wedding last week, I brewed six batches of beer. They turned out pretty good. My cousin Spencer made wedding-themed labels for each beer. They also turned out pretty good.

Ale We Need is Love – An American amber ale. Lots of hop aromatics, but low levels of bitterness. Flavor notes: pineapple and jasmine aromatics, caramel sweetness.

IBUs: Some

Hoppily Ever After – An American IPA. Fresh hop aromas jump out of the glass. Very bitter. Flavor notes: grapefruit bitterness, passionfruit and pine aromatics.

IBUs: Many

RachAle – A strong Belgian-style ale. Pale to amber in color, highly carbonated. Flavor notes: black pepper, fresh bread, clove, apple.

IBUs: 26

 

Lovey Weisse – Modeled after the sour wheat beers of Berlin, but with two pounds per gallon of whole blackberries added during fermentation. Very light and drinkable, with a pronounced tartness. Available with or without homemade blackberry syrup.

IBUs: 12
