Brut IPA Released by Fireforge Craft Brewing

Remember some time ago when I discussed this new Brut style IPA? I know you were paying attention then, so now, here's a sparkling opportunity to try one for yourself. Fireforge Crafted Beer has just released their second version of their Replicant (first was small trial batch) and it's exactly what the style calls for: no bitterness but hop forward (Azacca and Lotus hops were used), very dry and over-the-top drinkability.
My research last night paid off; I highly recommend this Brut IPA.

Cheers!

FireForge Prepping For Official Opening

Checked in yesterday with Brian and Nicole at Fireforge Crafted Beer to see first hand all the progress that has been made. Harvin Bedenbaugh Tap Room Manager, graciously gave me a quick behind the scenes tour. Typical brewery activities happening: brewing, cleaning, checking gravity, more cleaning and even some electrical work. 

A brewery in every way except they can't sell their beers yet. Something about property permits. Once that hurdle is overcome, I know people are going to like the space and I know from experience they will really enjoy the beer. They've already had neighbors stopping by, eager to have a pint (or two). They've also been complemented on the aroma that's been added to the area. Nothing like a hop-infused boil fragrance to arouse the senses.

Here's hoping they can be open by July 4th. Cheers!
