Homebrew Recipe: Hoppy Fall Take 2

Two years ago I brewed a hoppy amber ale that I named Hoppy Boston Hoppy Fall. The final beer was good, but I am a relentless tinkerer and there were a few things that I thought could be better, so I started working on a new version. The beer was designed to smell like an IPA and […]

Homebrew Recipe: Hoppy Boston Mosaic Saison

I took a little bit of a break from homebrewing, but I am happy to say I finally jumped back on the wagon. I did brew two batches of beer at Hopster’s relatively recently, but it’s been over a year since I brewed beer at home. The major reason for the break was that my wife was pregnant, and then we […]

Hoppy Boston/Hopster’s DIPA

My friend Tom is a fellow craft beer fan and frequent reader of this blog. He read about my two previous experiences brewing beer at Hopster’s Brew and Boards in Newton and wanted to try it out, so we booked a brewing session together. After some back and forth on style we landed on a […]

Hoppy Boston/Hopster’s Fuggles Porter

My brother and I recently brewed another batch of beer at Hopster’s Brew and Boards in Newton, MA. Our first brewing experience at Hopster’s was over a year ago (I’ve been back since, just not to brew), and so much has changed in that time. First, Hopster’s received a liquor license to become a fully functional […]

Homebrew Recipe: Hoppy Boston Witbier

The weather is getting warmer (finally) and lighter beers seem to go well with sitting on the porch, going to the beach, and backyard BBQs. My brother and I recently brewed a Belgian witbier together with the idea of having it ready to drink in time for the warm weather. The recipe is pretty straight […]

Hoppy Boston/Hopster’s Belgian IPA

Last month my brother and I brewed a batch of beer at Hopster’s Brew and Boards, the new brew-on-premises and bar in Newton Corner (for my earlier write-up see: http://wp.me/p3TEvn-3M). We brewed a Belgian style IPA, which I have finally been able to taste, so I thought I would share the recipe and review the […]

Home-brew Recipe: Hoppy Boston Porter

One of my favorite beers to drink once the weather gets cold is porter. I love the thick mouthfeel, dark malts and balanced bitterness. Last winter I brewed a big and boozy porter. It was great then and I let some of it age in the bottle for a year, and it’s even better with […]

Home-brew Recipe: Hoppy Fall Amber Ale

The current selection of fall seasonal beers is dominated by Marzens (traditional for German Octoberfest) and pumpkin beers. While I like the occasional Octoberfest I tend to seek out alternatives, medium to heavy bodied beers that hold up to chilly autumn days, but fall outside these popular categories. One of my all time favorites was […]

Home-brew recipe: Hoppy Boston IPA

Home-brewing is a great hobby for any beer enthusiast, I think I have learned more about beer from brewing myself than I could ever learn just by tasting. You really learn the importance of different ingredients, how they are used, how much is used, and how it effects the final beer. Here is a recipe for my IPA, […]
