New Belgium's Newest Seasonal....Hoptober

Watch for it! It is Hoptober Golden Ale. It's is New Belgium's newest seasonal.

Hoptober is brewed with 5 hops and 4 malts, which NBB says gives us a nice medium bodied ale with a creamy mouthfeel. They say they used Centennial, Cascade, Sterling, Willamette and Glacier hops and pale and wheat malt and mashed it with rye and oats.

This is suppose to be a "Hop Lover’s dream within the Belgian idiom, a bonfire of citrus notes, fruity cheers and a bold finale."

Whoa! Sounds very interesting!

Let me know how you like it!

Nice article from NPR on the success of canned craft beer. Oskar Blues Brewing in Lyons, CO was the first brewery in the country to put their craft brews in cans. That was 7 years ago. It's great to see the rest of the country getting in step. Pass me a Chubb, will ya?
