Hoppy visited a couple of Hoosier breweries over the Labor Day weekend. One of these was Mad Anthony Brewing in Fort Wayne. They celebrated their 25th anniversary in April 2023. They state, “we stake our claim on the quality and creativity of our beers and food as well as the clean facilities and friendly casual service we are known for.”
Hoppy enjoyed a Mosaic Moon Double IPA during his visit. It is described as an American style single hop IPA and a simple American grown grain bill allowing the hop to be front and center. The real star of this ale is the Mosaic hop which gives off a complex array of tropical fruit, pineapple, herbal and earthy characteristics. Much of the hop was used late in the boil preserving all of the character of the hop without going over the top in bitterness. 8% ABV, 65 IBU.
