Life has finally settled down, and Matt is back with a real beer review!
In Episode 39, Matt pours Hooey, a hazy IPA from Lupulin Brewing in Big Lake, Minnesota. Along the way, he shares the story of discovering the brewery at the Hamlin Craft Beer Fest, explains why their beers made such a lasting impression, and recounts the unfortunate (but apparently lucky?) incident of dropping the can—twice.
Then it’s time for a full BJCP-style evaluation, breaking down Hooey’s appearance, aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, and overall impression to see how this highly regarded hazy IPA stacks up against the style guidelines.
To wrap up the episode, Matt shares a behind-the-scenes look at presenting “Mind the Gap: Keeping Club Members Engaged Between Monthly Meetings” at HomebrewCon, including the unexpected technical hiccup that nearly derailed the presentation before it even began.
Whether you’re a craft beer fan, a homebrewer, or just enjoy hearing great beer stories, there’s plenty to raise a glass to in this episode.
Cheers!
