BEERCATION 2022 – GRAVITY BREWING – HUNGARY
Hoppy has gone international! He visited Gravity Brewing in Budapest as part of his international tour. This nano brewery which opened in 2018 consists of a 5 bbl production brewery and a 1 bbl pilot brewery. They are located in a basement along with a 40-seat taproom. While there, Hoppy enjoyed sampling their ales along with a guest brewery offering. The beers that he samples included the following:
Polaris – India Pale Lager – Described as hop-forward, starting with a crisp, classic Czech-style base, an ultra-creamy head and a touch of grain complexity. They use a blend of German, American and New Zealand hops. 6% ABV; 38 IBU
Parallax – West Coast IPA – Balanced toward gentle bitterness. Packed with Centennial hops for a solid body of piney, resinous citrus, while Cascade, Citra and Simcoe layer even more bright lemon zest and orange blossom onto the foundation. 5.8% ABV; 58 IBU
High Orbit – Dynasty IPA – An Imperial/Double IPA featuring high hop bitterness, flavor and aroma. 8.5% ABV; 82 IBU
Dark Matter – Chocolate Milk Stout – Their darkest core brew is an all-season warmer stacked with chocolate from front to back. 7% ABV; 25 IBU
Guest Tap from Brew Your Mind Brewery – Still Dreaming – An Imperial/Double New England/Hazy IPA. 8.2% ABV
