Racer 5

 

Bear Republic
RACER 5 IPA

 

This is a hoppy IPA. Did I say hops? Your brewer is a hop head! This is a full bodied beer using American grains. The goal was to create a base for showing off the unique floral qualities of two Pacific Northwest hops, Columbus and Cascade. Columbus is a new hybrid High Alpha Acid hop used mostly for bittering, but used heavily as an aromatic in this strong brew. Cascade is the balance that ties the malt and bittering hops together. It is a true specialty ale and is our brewer's statement on this style. 2004 L.A.

&&High Gravity (High Alcohol) Beers%%
(HIGH ALCOHOL BEERS)

High Gravity (High Alcohol) Beers
 

     The SC legislature raised the allowable alcohol limit on malt beer from 6% to 17.7% , paving the way for many new specialty brews to be made and sold across the state of South Carolina.

     Now the education of the masses begins! Some of those styles include:  

•  Strong Scottish Ales
•  German Bocks, including Helles, Maibocks,
    Dopplebocks, Eisbocks, and Weizenbocks
•  Russian Imperial Stout
•  Barleywine (American- and English-style)
•  Seasonal brews
•  Belgian Dubbel, Tripel, Strong Golden Ale, Saison
•  English Old and Strong Ales

 

     Also, some more common styles like India pale ale brewed in non-traditional ways, such as boiling the wort for a longer period of time can produce unique flavors, the higher alcohol content is more of a byproduct.

 

     A warning to those folks who have little experience with high gravity beers...take it easy. These take some getting used to if you're accustomed to domestics like Bud & Miller. The alcohol content can be over twice as high. You will want to slowly sip on your Doppelbock, swirling it around in your glass and savoring the complex character of the heavenly nectar. Just remember, don't order a high gravity beer at the end of a drinking session, you really want to be able to remember how good it was!
