I mean you can just tell they are trying something new and who doesn't want to drink and experiment? I really want to know what this tasted like. It sounds like a crazy amount of hops to use and with as expensive as hops are how much would a beer like this cost were it mass produced or even produced on a local level? Really interesting idea and you have to love America for its ability to toss out all rules and regulations and guidelines and try to make something its own.

They brew it once a year, maybe they learn something. Dave – I don’t think this beer is about common sense. They brew it once a year, maybe they learn something.

How they got up to 95 measured IBUs is already crazy just because so much of it falls out of solution at those higher levels. What I question is the difference between first wort hop additions and mash hopping. The only difference between the two is exposure time and sparging. My other question is why such a subtle hop flavor would need to be present in an aggressively hopped beer. I know more is better, but I question the usefulness of the addition.

And you're saying it should be thought of as a flavor addition? Perhaps like first-wort hopping? Stan, any indication how they calculate the IBU contribution from mash-hopping?

They favor it in beers that do not have a massive hop bill, including some Belgian-influenced beers. They like it for the subtle hop flavors and mouthfeel. I did love this tweet from @robbiexor: @Ab_eer @StanHieronymus Forget hopping during malting, let's just crossbreed barley with Cascade Brad – Several breweries in California have experimented with mash hops.
