Year nine. Can you believe it? I have only had the pleasure of heading three of these nine years. I consider it an honor to organize this celebration on behalf of all the hardworking people who make, deliver, serve and drink beer in and around our city.

This guide you are holding will hopefully serve as a year-round reminder of the awesomeness of Philadelphia’s beer culture. For a long time, this town of ours had a reputation for drinking everything we could get our hands on. Philadelphia is now on the map for having such an innovative brewing community, thanks to the continued success of our regional brands as well as the rising star upstarts in the city. I look forward to once again bringing you all together for ten days of fun, delicious beerness.

We sadly had to say goodbye to some great friends this year. We were devastated by the loss of long-time board member Tom Buonanno. Philly Beer Week faithfuls Perch Pub and Varalli closed their doors, but we have greeted some new bar friends: Martha, Union Taphouse and Urban Farmer, just to name a few.

TAP WRITTEN BY DAN BERLIN

THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE GIVES ITSELF A BIG HUG EVERY YEAR IN THE FORM OF A TEN-DAY FESTIVAL KNOWN AS PHILLY BEER WEEK, AND WHAT BETTER WAY TO KICK OFF THE FESTIVITIES THAN WITH A MASSIVE BEER BASH KNOWN AS OPENING TAP?

Much like the Opening Ceremony at the Olympics, Opening Tap features delegates from different breweries, an ornamental relay led by the Hammer of Glory, costumes and pageantry, music, honorees, and even awards.

To some, Opening Tap is a way to show their Philly beer pride. To others it goes beyond beer and speaks to the community at large.

Regardless of what individuals take away from it, the idea is to have fun, and set the stage for the following week. However, putting together an event of this caliber is no easy feat. There are a number of circumstances and details that the carefree festival-goer will probably take for granted. Luckily, there’s a whole team of board members, sponsors, vendors, brewers, and other 22

OFFICIAL GUIDE 2016

volunteers working behind the scenes whose mission it is to bring Philadelphia the best beer experience you can get for a single low-priced admission ticket.

That affordability is intentional, and a point of pride. “We have only raised the ticket price by six dollars since 2012, making it one of the most affordable tasting events of the year,” said Kristine Kennedy, Executive Director of Philly Beer Week. Other less glamorous festivals can cost you twice as much, but part of the mission is for Opening Tap to remain unique. To that end, the location and programming has changed a number of times as the board seeks to continually

improve the experience. The Constitution Center was a nice setting, and if nothing else symbolic, but parking in the Historical District is problematic, to say the least. Plus, there are all kinds of logistics that need to be figured out for all of the distributors and brewers to be able to deliver and pick up kegs. William Reed, co-owner of Johnny Brenda’s and a chair on the board, had a lot to say about this. “You’re trying to set up this pop-up thing with forty breweries and it’s like herding cats,” he said. “Everybody’s used to doing their own thing.” But once venues are vetted and approved, and contracts have been negotiated and signed, the board engages an event planner to coordinate all the various participants and rentals. Kennedy feels that logistics are perhaps the most complicated part of planning an event like this and require a great deal of effort, even though most people don’t see all of that planning in action—they simply enjoy the outcome.

Parking anywhere in Philadelphia is an obvious concern, but some crucial details are not so obvious, according to Kennedy. “It’s easy to overlook the small details, like stations

for people to dump a beer they don't like,” she said. “Meeting the Health Department's often changing requirements is always on my list, though I do want to say that they were a pleasure to work with last year.”

Perhaps the easiest part of planning an event like Opening Tap is picking the date: “It’s always the first day of Beer Week,” Kennedy jested. But even that complicates things. Never mind the fact June is prom and wedding season, and that this year there is also the Craft Brewers Conference at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Taking this into consideration, they moved up the deadlines for hard-copy publications and the mobile app to accommodate the influx of visiting beer enthusiasts. But Kennedy goes on to explain some other practical concerns. “June can be really hot or really cold and rainy and tenting is really expensive, so we focus on indoor spaces,” she explained.

“It can be a real challenge to find a centrally located venue that is big enough, affordable, and willing to let all that beer pour.” All these concerns led to finding The Fillmore, which has parking, bathrooms, air conditioning, a new sound and light system, a well-trained staff, alcoves, and a performance stage. “The stage there is a dream come true for my vision for Opening Tap,” said Kennedy.

Stages are not commonly part of beer tastings, but Opening Tap is no common tasting— they’ve always had live music, and this year is no exception. Casey Parker from Jose Pistola’s will have his band there and will also be MCing the event. “So you should expect it to be not just a tasting event, but a great party,” Kennedy said. But Parker remains focused on certain priorities. “As much as I want it to be a variety show and have it be about entertainment,” he explained, “it’s more about moving action along. Opening Tap is all about the brewers.

This kind of an event is not about the guy holding the mic, it’s about the beer in everyone’s cup. It’s about generating excitement for the next nine days.”

One particular way local brewers are honored is with revealing the winners of the local beer competition, the Philly Brew-vitational. In the past, the announcement has been a little lackluster, but Parker insists that this year they

will give it the proper attention it deserves. This all helps to realize Opening Tap’s potential. “I would like to keep upping the production value and therefore the experience. Hopefully we will find a good home with The Fillmore and keep it there for a while” said Kennedy. If all goes well, this could be the start of a great relationship.

event like this serves as a sort of outreach to the city,” he said. This is especially important when there are still many out there who feel like breweries and bars are a nuisance, despite the strong sense of community these businesses bring to their neighborhoods. The comradery is palpable during the immense

PERHAPS THE EASIEST PART OF PLANNING AN EVENT LIKE OPENING TAP IS PICKING THE DATE: “IT’S ALWAYS THE FIRST DAY OF BEER WEEK,” KENNEDY JESTS. And relationships are really what Philly beer culture is all about. To signify their communal pride, some of the local brewery forefathers get together every year to collaborate on a special beer, which always debuts at Opening Tap, known as Brotherly Suds. This year it will be a rye bock brewed at Stoudts Brewing Company, as a nod to the season and Pennsylvania’s German brewing heritage. If all goes to plan, new mayor, Jim Kenney, will likely tap the beer.

This reflects a relationship that goes back many years, as former mayor Michael Nutter used to tap the first firkin (even whacking Tom Kehoe’s hand once). Nutter was always a pleasure to see, especially covered in beer, but one year he had to cancel. In 2014, former Philadelphia mayor and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell was able to fill in, a man who by all accounts knows how to get a party started. He tapped the firkin that year and it may very well have saved his life.

Rendell had planned to be in Massachusetts with his friend Lewis Katz, but instead stayed in Philadelphia to fulfill prior engagements, including Opening Tap. Tragically, Katz’s plane crashed on takeoff leaving Massachusetts and everyone on board was killed.

Having someone like the mayor at the forefront of this event is an honor, and it goes a long way to bolster the reputation of Philly Beer and build the relationship between craft beer and the city. “That tradition is really demonstrative of how important the beer scene here is to the local economy,” said Kristine Kennedy. William Reed agreed. “An

city-wide parade known as the Hammer of Glory relay.

In a city known for the Mummers, it’s no surprise to see a bit of pageantry like the Hammer of Glory relay. “Pageantry is an interesting word. I call it ‘stupid shit’,” said Reed. “They were just tapping the firkin with a regular mallet and I said to [Michael] Scoats, ‘we need more stupid shit.’” That was the birth of the Hammer of Glory. The impressively massive, locally forged hammer makes its way across the city from bar to bar, with each participant responsible for getting it to the next destination. This has resulted in some legendary exploits. In the end, it’s all about having fun. But behind the scenes, the mood can be a little tense. “I never have any idea what's going to happen with the Hammer of Glory” Kristine Kennedy said. “Is it going to show up on time? Who is bringing it? What the hell happens next?”

The hammer arrives. The mayor taps the firkin.

Philly Beer Week starts, and the planning for the next Opening Tap begins. But what does the future hold? Casey Parker explained the challenges involved when thinking about the future of Opening Tap. “Our biggest challenge is to be not just another beer festival,” he said.

“This is an extremely intelligent market—this is a kickoff. You show up and we’re going to get together and look each other in the eyes and ask, ‘are you ready?’” Philly will find out June 3rd at Opening Tap.

Suds WHAT STARTED AS THE FIRST OFFICIAL CRAFT BEER WEEK IN AMERICA HAS NOW TURNED INTO A NINE-YEARS-STRONG TRADITION THAT BRINGS SOME OF THE GREATEST BREWING MINDS FROM AROUND THE WORLD TOGETHER TO DRINK CRAFT BEER IN THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA.

B

ack in 2008, when the ceremonial firkin of Yards ESA was tapped to commence Opening Tap and kick-off the inaugural Philly Beer Week (PBW), not many people were thinking about the traditions that this tapping would some day lead to. What started as the first official craft beer week in America has now turned into a nine-years-strong tradition that brings some of the greatest brewing minds from around the world together to drink craft beer in the city of Philadelphia. It’s become a time-honored tradition and a symbol of the craft beer scene of our fine city.

That Yards ESA firkin unknowingly led to a tradition of its own. At the time, Yards ESA was the cask beer of the city of Philadelphia and a fitting choice for the ceremony. Year two of Beer Week kicked off with another ceremonial tapping of Yards ESA. But when planning for year three

26

OFFICIAL GUIDE 2016

began, a discussion started over whether the same beer should continue to be tapped each year.

Yards was (and still is) a beloved Philadelphia brewery, but the scene was growing and a way to include other Philadelphia breweries was needed.

Thus came the birth of one of the most beloved Beer Week traditions—Brotherly Suds.

Brotherly Suds was as a way to bring many Philadelphia-area breweries together to make a special beer for Philly Beer Week. It was to be a collaboration of local breweries that would change from year to year. The first iteration was brewed in 2010 at Sly Fox Brewery with brewers from Yards, Tröegs, Victory and Stoudts. The following year brought the addition of new breweries, such as Nodding Head and Flying Fish.

Seven years later, Brotherly Suds has come full circle and returned to Sly Fox. Carrying on the

tradition this year along with Sly Fox were brewers from Victory, Yards, Iron Hill, Stoudts, Sly Fox and Tröegs. Together they gathered together to brew a rye bock. For the first time ever though, the beer was brewed at two different breweries.

With the Craft Brewers Conference, taking place in Philadelphia this year, it’s a tradition to have local breweries gather to brew a special beer for the conference. The beer serves as a welcoming, as each attendee receives a bottle, or in this case a can, upon checking in. “We all got together at the Iron Hill in Media and discussed what to do for CBC, and for PBW as well. It didn’t make sense from our standpoint to gather a different group of people to do a beer for CBC and then for PBW,” said Stoudts Brett Kintzer. With that, it was decided to brew a double batch of 2016’s Brotherly Suds.

How did this year’s recipe come to be? A majority of the creative discussion was done through an e-mail chain, with each brewer chiming in ideas. The Philadelphia region is historically known for lagers, so given the spring timing of the conference, the group decided to go with a bock beer. A later e-mail from Victory’s Bill Covaleski led to the idea of throwing a twist into the beer and adding rye. With the style decided, the recipe was broken up into malts and hops and the brewers split up to develop each half of the recipe. Covaleski, Sly Fox’s Brian O’Reilly, Iron Hill’s Mark Edelson and Flying Fish's Gene Muller formulated the malt bill, while Kintzer, John Trogner of Tröegs, and Tom Kehoe of Yards worked on the hop profile.

As O’Reilly puts it, “the real story is in the camaraderie.” It’s the driving force behind the beer itself. One of the great aspects of the craft beer world is the friendly nature of it. Brewers know how to look past the competitive aspect of fighting for the same tap handles and know how to be friends, unlike other industries that don’t leave much room for friendship.

“In our industry we're getting very used to collaboration beers,” said O’Reilly. “I think Mitch [Steele of Stone Brewing] takes half his year just to brew collaborations. I still think it's a unique story to craft beer. I know it's been told before, but I think we forget about it because it's become so commonplace. You wouldn't have Coke, Pepsi and A&W come together to do this. Hostess and Tastykake certainly never got together to collaborate on a pastry. It's an interesting phenomenon. I think it speaks well of craft breweries, and brewers wouldn't do as many collaborations if there weren’t an interest and acceptance. I think in some ways its amazing that we can all get together and say 'lets brew a beer,' then decide who's going to brew it.”

Having a special occasion such as Brotherly Suds makes it easier to push things to the side to make room and gather together to catch up and work together on a beer, or as O’Reilly called it, “the one time of year we all get together and do exactly what people think we do for a living—drink beer, talk beer, and finalize the recipe.” And, in the end, everyone wins when some of the greatest beer minds in the region get together to make us a beer.

A Collaboration Is Brewing YARDS BREWING’S TOM KEHOE SETS SAIL TO AMSTERDAM TO BREW THE OFFICIAL BEER OF PHILLY BEER WEEK AT DE MOLEN

BY MATT BRASCH

T

he annual Philly Beer Week ("PBW") raffle is always a highly anticipated event and this past year was no exception. For those not familiar with the raffle—from October to November, the PBW organization sells raffle tickets to the public to generate funds to support PBW. If your name is pulled during the November drawing, you win an all-expenses-paid trip to brew the following year's PBW collaboration beer. If that wasn't enough, the winning ticket holder gets to choose a local brewer to come along AND you get to assist in brewing the collaboration beer. At the risk of using an overused term, for a $5 ticket, it's truly an epic prize.

The winner of the 2015 raffle was Adam Anderson, bar manager at Jose Pistola's. Although Adam was hard at work serving libations the night of raffle drawing, he explained, "...midway through my shift the bar phone rings and it's Casey Parker on the line telling me that I'm going to Amsterdam and

30

OFFICIAL GUIDE 2016

Belgium. I couldn't believe it. To say I was shocked was an understatement—I never win anything and certainly wasn't expecting to win the raffle. I was just happy to be supporting Philly Beer Week."

Maybe more excited than Adam was the brewer he chose to go with him—Tom Kehoe, founder of Yards Brewing Company.

According to Tom, every year he lobbies and campaigns to be the brewer to go on the trip—he even wore a sign around his neck at the drawing a few years ago that said, "Will Brew for a Trip to Belgium" and offered to fight Jean-Claude Van Damme if he saw him on the street. Adam was happy to pick Tom for the trip—however, this year the trip was to Amsterdam in the Netherlands (not Belgium), to brew with Menno Olivier from Brouwerij de Molen—so Tom did not have to recreate BloodSport.

The trip did not include just the raffle winners Adam and Tom; the list of attendees is a lengthy one and includes well-known names from the Philly beer scene. Adam said, "I was over there with some great people.

Being able to walk around Antwerp and Brussels with Tom Peters is something I will never forget. Clubbing with Joe Gunn, Will Reed and Andy Dickerson is something everyone should do at least once in their life. The late-night charcuterie with Matt Satten was pretty epic. Blindly following Ed Friedland anywhere and briefly getting lost with Ken Corell and Terry Leach was more then worth the price of admission. Trusting in Casey Parker and Felicia D'Ambrosio that even though it was late, it was also in my best interests to get my ass up out of bed and come back out." Tom echoed Adam's sentiment, "Being someplace else and hanging out with people you are familiar with in an unfamiliar

area is interesting how it brings out different personalities—it's such a great vibe."

Tom also brought his wife on the trip and they arrived in Amsterdam on a Sunday—which appropriately happened to be National Tulip Day. They visited Dam Square and then a bar next to their hotel called "In de Wildeman" with 18 taps of awesome beer that helped Tom "get through the jet lag." He toured Brouwerij 't IJ, located next to a windmill, then met the entire group for lunch.

As far as the development of the recipe for the collaboration beer, in advance of the trip, Tom and Menno did not really iron out a definitive recipe. According to Tom, "I had this idea to use tulips in the beer—as a homage to the beer and the Netherlands; not to affect the beer at all. But when I emailed that to Menno he didn't respond about the tulips—he just explained that he does dark beer well and was thinking about that." Once Tom met Menno face-to-face, Menno explained that he is from Rotterdam—which was devastated by the Germans in WWII to the point where there was no food. "So during the war, even though tulip bulbs are slightly poisonous, people were eating them just to survive." After hearing the explanation, Tom was glad that Menno did not agree to the tulip recipe!

So how was the 2016 collaboration brew developed? Tom said they had dinner the night before the brew day and Menno brought Dutch licorice—which "isn't like black licorice that we have around here. It was like brown and real sugary and almost had a salty character to it." Menno's idea was to use that salt flavor in the beer. They had already decided to make a big, dark beer, and Tom thought they would get enough body already from the dark malts.

When Tom suggested that, Menno replied, "Oh no—definitely put the salt in and get more body." Tom agreed and then they discussed at what point in the brew they should add it. This was a highlight of the trip for Tom; "It was really engaging because it was new for me and something that Menno had done before—but not in the sense with licorice—so I said 'yes, this is awesome! Let's get it going!'"

Tuesday was the official brew day for the PBW 2016 collaboration beer. The group traveled

to Brouwerij de Molen, located in Bodegraven, which is about one hour south of Amsterdam.

Brewers Menno Olivier and John Brus opened de Molen in 2004 in the "de Arkduif" windmill

“

Despite the "labor," Adam said, "Kehoe and Menno had won my brewing trust years ago.

I was on board with whatever they wanted to brew and am pretty excited for that first glass.

IT WAS REALLY ENGAGING BECAUSE IT WAS NEW FOR ME AND SOMETHING THAT MENNO HAD DONE BEFORE— BUT NOT IN THE SENSE WITH LICORICE—SO I SAID 'YES, THIS IS AWESOME! LET'S GET IT GOING! on the Oude Rijn river. As demand for their beer grew, de Molen expanded and opened a production brewery down the street, but they continue to brew smaller batches in the windmill, now called "Brouwcafé de Molen." Tom was struck by the fact that the brewery was in a residential neighborhood, not a business district like Yards and other Philadelphia breweries. "What was jaw dropping is they are in a community—a neighborhood, about a half mile from the train stop.

Because people live right around the corner, they can only brew 11 hours a day. They can't even start heating the water until a specific time; they are limited in production—that's crazy!" Tom explained, "Compared to us—once we start, we want to go 24 hours until we fill the tanks because it’s more efficient, energy-wise." It was one of the differences between their breweries that Tom really appreciated.

On brew day, they spent about four hours "brewing," or as Tom described it, "Menno has all his minions there and they do all the work for you; you just stand there and say 'do this, thank you!'"

One thing that stood out to Tom during the brew was the hops. "It was totally bizarre and totally different. It's hard for them to get hops pelletized, they would get the whole hops and put them in a stainless steel chipper/shredder—it would chop it up as fine as if you were going to pelletize it, but instead they put it back into the bag. It gives them more surface area and basically dissolves into the beer. And it smelled awesome." They used two American hops in the collaboration beer—Columbus and Galena—and it was Adam's job to push the hops into the chipper/shredder.

”

It was a honor to not only work with Kehoe and Menno but also the entire de Molen team."

After brewing, they went to the de Molen brewpub for what Tom described as "a great plowman's lunch. They had all their beers there and I even brought some home." The final beer—named Fire, Flood and Plague—was brewed with plans of aging. Tom said, "Menno is putting some down in Port Charlotte whisky barrels. It's going to be laid down and we'll get a small amount for next year."

With the collaboration beer in the fermenters, the PBW crew parted ways. Tom and his wife stayed in Amsterdam and continued to explore the city, visiting the free orchestra ("Concertgebouw"), Van Gogh Museum and the Artis Royal Zoo. The rest of the group went to Belgium and, as Adam said, "I'm sure that I drank my weight in de la Senne Zinnebir and Orval."

Tom and Adam both agree that the PBW trip is something everyone should try to do. As Adam said, "I encourage everyone to enter the raffle to help Philly Beer Week to continue to grow. It's the best beer festival in the country and for that, I am more then willing to do my part with a little support. Winning the raffle was just a bonus. I'll buy just as many tickets next year. I'm planning to go back regardless of whether or not I win the raffle." Even if you don't want to go on the trip, Tom reminded, "...the raffle is held before Christmas. So if you win you can always re-gift it. But my guess is that if you win, you're gonna go."

CRAFT BEER’S

IT’S NOT RIGHT TO SAY THAT CRAFT BEER IS EXPLODING IN POPULARITY AROUND THE WORLD. CRAFT BEER ALREADY HAS EXPLODED IN POPULARITY AROUND THE WORLD, AND IT JUST KEEPS GROWING. LET’S EXPLORE SOME OF THE OFF-THE-BEATEN-PATH BEER REGIONS THAT WE’RE JUST NEWLY GETTING TO KNOW.

WORDS BY SANDE FRIEDMAN

36

OFFICIAL GUIDE 2016

A REFRESHER OF OUR FAMILIAR BEER FRIENDS nyone interested in craft beer is already familiar with the three great brewing regions—Germany, Britain and Belgium.Take any beer style and it can be traced back to one of these three regions, which make up the DNA of nearly all beer.

A

GERMANY Germany has the classic malt-driven beers, largely governed by the strict rules of Reinheitsgebot, notably celebrating its 500th anniversary this year! Traditional lagers, pilsners, bock beers and wheat beers come from Germany proper. “Wackier” iterations that incorporate different ingredients, spices and flavors are also brewed in Germany, but due to those aforementioned strict rules, are often reserved for sale in other marketplaces, such as America.

ENGLAND England gives us the proper, well-balanced styles that largely influenced America’s craft beer revolution, English beers generally aim for the perfect balance between malt and hops, without too high of an alcohol content.

BELGIUM Belgium is the wild & crazy brewing country. The yeast is the star ingredient, producing fruity, spicy, sour and barnyardy aromas and flavors. Belgian brewers like to add “stuff” (spices, herbs, fruit) to their beers. Unlike most German and British styles, which are content with modest alcohol content, many Belgian beer styles achieve much higher ABVs, ranging from 5% to 12% ABV and beyond. Belgian ales can achieve nearly wine-like complexity, which is why craft beer fans became so enamored with them in the first place.

W

hy are we talking about the things you already know? A) Refreshers are important. B) These countries inspired the rise of craft American beers and our ever-growing interest in cool craft imports, which has now spread to the rest of the globe. You’ve likely noticed that lately our bottle shops and many bars have been stocked with beers from different European regions. Well-dressed Italian bottles have been on our shelves for years, though often carrying too hefty of a single-bottle price tag for some of us to feel comfortable about purchasing, no matter how cool the bottle looks. Icelandic beers have been becoming more and more prevalent, and often with far kinder price tags.

There are Scandinavian beers, French beers, and even lately

some Spanish beers. Is this the next sign of craft beer truly taking over the world?

ITALY — SALUTI! Italian beer isn’t necessarily a new thing, but it is a growing market. If you look at a map of the wine, beer and spirits belts, Italy is primarily designated as a fertile wine country, with just a small region in the north near Switzerland and Austria that gains admittance to the beer belt. There are currently around 500 breweries in Italy—impressive considering it’s the size of California, a state with 300+ breweries.

For a long time, microbrews were nearly impossible to find in Italy. The country's beer reputation was built on major brands such as Peroni, Moretti and Nastro Azzurro. Italy’s craft beer movement began, slowly, in the late 1980s with Birra Baladin and Birrificio Italiano. (Interestingly, this was the same timeframe as American craft beer.) Brewing craft beer in Italy made perfect sense since there was already such a respect for good food and beverage. Belgian beer, with the afore-

But they’re here, and we like them.

Plus, note that the global reach of the Italian beer revolution was strongly cemented by the opening of a branch of Eataly in New York City, the gargantuan food hall imported by the restauranteurs Mario Batali and Joe & Lidia Bastianich that’s been celebrated for creating the demand for more gourmet Italian food in New York.

FRANCE — SANTÉ!

France is a serious wine country, right?

Yes, but not entirely.

The French have always enjoyed their beer. At the end of the 19th century, there were nearly 3,000 small breweries in France. By the mid-20th century, production had been reduced to the hands of a few large producers, mostly due to monetary reasons. Flavor took a backseat to profitability, the beers being made weren’t really all that good, and beer consumption began a many-decades decline. By 1975 there were only something like 23 breweries left. Great French wine was easily able to outshine

MANY OF THE NEWER FRENCH CRAFT BREWERIES ARE BREWING IN COPPER, WOOD AND IRON SYSTEMS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SCRAPPED LONG AGO IN THE UNITED STATES. mentioned wine-like complexity, was a huge inspiration, but Italy still forged its own path. Fewer rules (like the ones that restrict German brewing) gave room for Italian brewers to experiment with local ingredients—chestnuts, wild honey, wine grapes, ancient grains, seasonal fruits, Italian spices—that give these beers a decidedly Italian flair. Of course, with how delicately and precisely the beers are crafted, this can result in a higher price tag once the beers hit our shores.

the bland, industrial stuff to which most beer had been reduced. Although there was a demonstrable interest in craft beer, the prevailing opinion was that beer was simply a thirst-quencher.

Beer got popular and profitable, in other places, namely Belgium. People began to wonder where French beer had gone and how to bring it back. French brewers, especially in Paris, looked to the American and British craft beer movements PHILLY BEER WEEK

37

for inspiration on how to do it right. In the last few years, the Paris craft beer revolution—for both professional brewers and homebrewers alike—really began. A few notables to check out: Brasserie Outland in Bagnolet, the experimental Brasserie Parisis, Ox Bier brewery and Brasserie la Goutte d'Or.

countries: BFM, Mikkeller and de Molen, respectively. BFM does a similar thing to some Italian breweries and ages its beer like wine—in French oak barrels, delivering mouth-watering pale ales stamped with unique Swiss style. The beers carry a high price tag, but they’re worth it.

When’s the last time you thought about the excellent Bière de Garde style, traditionally brewed in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France. The Belgian side of the Flanders region has a rich and well-documented brewing history, but many forget that Flanders straddles both sides of the French/Belgian border and the French have a particularly rich farmhouse ale tradition. Unfortunately, the French Flanders region was devastated in the first half of the 20th century—during the two World Wars, many original breweries were destroyed and their equipment melted down to make bombs.

The region has spent the second half of the last century clawing its way back to beer respect.

Nowadays, French craft brewers are making that a focus and bringing Bière de Garde back.

Castelain, an acclaimed independent French brewery that’s been brewing in Bénifontaine since 1926, made noise in America by doing a great collaborative Bière de Garde with Chicago area's Two Brothers Brewing Company a few years back called Diversey & Lille.

SCANDINAVIA — SKAL!

French beer production overall remains kind of small. A joke that often pops up: “What is the difference between a French and American microbrewery? About 19,000 hectoliters!” What many of the historic or rebuilt breweries lack in size, they make up for with French flair. Many of the newer French craft breweries are brewing in copper, wood and iron systems that would have been scrapped long ago in the United States.

SWITZERLAND — PROSCHT! There are many similarities between mass market Swiss beer and the beers of Austria and Bavaria; they are neighbors, after all. Historically, and still, there’s a lot of thin, watery beer in Switzerland.

But a growing number of craft beer aficionados are diversifying what’s on the market in Switzerland, with many of them concentrated in the northern city of Zurich. Some of the world’s most respected breweries are from these 38

OFFICIAL GUIDE 2016

Norway This icy Scandinavian land is quite white hot for beer, such as age-old Aass, founded way back in 1884, and newcomers Nøgne Ø and Haandbryggeriet. Historically, vikings often referenced their love of mead (honey wine) but they also wrote about brewing “aul” (a relative of the word “ale”) back in their 12th century epics and how it tended to make them go a little “bersërkr” (a relative of the word “crazy,” but you probably got that). An ancient rural homebrewing industry still thrives, thanks to the super strict, high-tax, alcohol-averse government. A fun history note: farmers were long required to brew, and if they didn’t, the king and church seized and then divided their lands. It’s also said to be a Norwegian custom to brew the beer for your own funeral, to really go out in style.

A producer to know in Norway is Jon Gjerde of Voss Bryggeri, who has been keeping ancient tradition alive for over 20 years, graduating from homebrewing in a shed to a large, modern brewing facility. A beer of his that’s been floating around Philly is Voss Vossaøl Anno 1814, which is a Maltøl, the term used for a Norwegian Farmhouse Ale. It’s brewed with juniper-infused water and kveik, an unusual type of ale yeast harvested fresh (reused) from fermenting ale. Today, Kveik is only used by homebrewers who brew in the traditional methods of Norwegian farmhouse brewing. It is also used occasionally to ferment bread. In beer, it gives a bright citrus peel aroma and a light earthy spiciness.

Sweden Enjoy some Swedish craft beer alongside your Ikea meatballs. Many of us are familiar with Omnipollo, the Swedish brewing team consisting of longtime homebrewer Henok Fentie and Karl Grandin, who manages the aesthetic half and was co-founder of the trendy Cheap Monday

clothing brand. This team of gypsy brewers (i.e., wanderers with no brewery of their own, instead utilizing the facilities of friends around the globe) were, within three years of starting Omnipollo, voted one of the Top 100 Brewers in the World by RateBeer.com. An interesting thing that they’ve pointed out time and time again is that they felt that Swedish craft beer needed to be re-contextualized; it needed to be more fashionable in order to appeal to more people. Hence why an Omnipollo bottle looks way cooler than a Carlsberg one.

A Swedish brewery taking a more Belgian-centric sour approach to craft beer is Brekerie. They ferment solely with wild yeast and/or bacteria and re-ferment certain beverages by adding fruit.

They’ve also collaborated with Michigan’s B. Nektar, the first meadery to be included in the top 100 Best Breweries in the World by RateBeer. com. Perhaps mead will be the gateway help for more and more Swedish breweries to break into the American craft beer market?

Denmark According to Denmark’s own official country website, today there are more than 100 breweries in Denmark, and in 2010, every Dane drank the equivalent of 80 liters of beer. Until the 1830s, the only beer produced in Denmark was the Hvidtøl (white beer), but in 1838, brewer J.C. Jacobsen presented a new type of beer, Bavarian beer, to the Danish king. Bavarian beer was made in an entirely new way, had a finer flavor and a more stable shelf life. In 1847, this new type of beer production led the world famous brewery Carlsberg, who still dominates most of the beer market there today. The second major Danish brewery, Tuborg, was founded in 1873 and eventually introduced pilsner lager to Denmark. To this day, pilsner is still the most favored type of beer in Denmark. Sound a little like Germany?

For a long time, Denmark's big two (Carlsberg and Royal Unibrew) owned the beer industry, whittling away at the few independent breweries.

Throughout the 20th century a number of smaller provincial breweries were founded, and in the last twenty years a range of microbreweries got to see the light. Today it’s estimated that there are over 200 microbreweries in Denmark, with dozens of styles and hundreds of craft beers currently being brewed. With microbreweries firmly back in fashion, even Carlsberg has

jumped on the bandwagon and established its own microbrewery, Husbryggeriet Jacobsen.

Iceland Iceland has a fascinating (and tumultuous) history with beer, wine and spirits. A century ago, Iceland banned all alcoholic drinks. When full prohibition became law 100 years ago, alcohol in general was frowned upon, and beer was especially out of favor, mostly for political reasons. Iceland was engaged in a struggle for independence from Denmark at the time, and Icelanders strongly associated beer with “frowned-upon” Danish lifestyles. Anyway, within a decade, red wine was re-legalized, followed by spirits in the 1930s, but full-strength beer remained off-limits until March 1, 1989. This red-letter day is marked annually as Bjordagur (Beer Day).

Call it perhaps a response to having been banned for so long, but since then, some seriously cool stuff has come out of Iceland. There was, for a while in our market, Ölvisholt Bruggús, Iceland's first craft brewery, which dates back only to 2008.

Their Lava Smoked Imperial Stout was the first Icelandic craft beer to arrive stateside and it landed on Draft Magazine's Top 25 Beers of 2012 list.There are Einstök beers regularly in our bottle shops, boasting that they’re made from the purest water on Earth. A fun conversation-worthy beer came from the Icelandic micro-brewery Stedji, who’ve produced a number of ales flavored with different parts of whale, including Hvalur 2, a brew infused with dried whale testicles. Stedji's beer proved popular in Iceland, although the company has been criticized by conservationists.

SPAIN – SALUD! Making a splash with ciders, Spain has also recently been becoming a more distinguished force in the brewing world. Articles all over the internet that are geared towards tourists specify (aka warn) that if you ask for “una cerveza” in most parts of Spain, without specifying, you will usually be served a pale lager of a subpar brand. But there’s hope! There are currently more than 150 brands of craft beer in Spain, with more breweries popping up nearly every week.

Although craft beer is still just a tiny sliver (0.3 percent) of Spain’s beer market, it is growing exponentially. Several studies suggest that this PHILLY BEER WEEK

39

year, craft beer production is expected to skyrocket 33 percent.

An importer to keep an eye on is Iberian Beer United (IBU), who are dedicated to finding and promoting the finest craft beers and hard ciders in the Iberian Peninsula and importing them to the U.S.A. Founded by Jessica García-Agulló and John Collins, who were involved in the U.S. craft beer scene for more than 15 years, this could be one of the more successful movements for Spanish imports. Their portfolio carries many traditional Asturian and Basque hard ciders, which have already found popularity in America. Could cider be the gateway to getting cooler craft Spanish beers? Time will tell.

SELLING THESE BEERS Want all of these cool European beer to get less expensive? So do we. Brendan Kingston of the innovative B. United Imports (responsible

40

OFFICIAL GUIDE 2016

for bringing us the likes of Hitachino from Japan, Nomad from Australia, and so much more from Austria, Scotland, South Africa and beyond) pointed out the following: “Any beer you bring in from another country is going to be more expensive than one produced in the U.S. by nature—shipping costs, logistics, taxation, all that stuff. This puts an onus on an importer to select beers carefully.

If I find a beer in Europe that's exactly like a great American pale ale, and bring it to Philly, who is going to repeatedly pick that over one of the tons of great American pale ales?

Not many people. There are plenty of very good beers in Europe and all over the world that, though total standouts in their local markets, once they have to compete with every brewery in the globe, may not quite have the competitive advantage that they have on their home turf. This doesn't mean you're paying more for the same thing, just that often the products that would command a lower price don't get imported if there's no unique niche for them.”

A FEW THINGS TO NOTE Taxes on alcohol are not uniform across the E.U. and not uniform across types of products—wine vs beer, for example. Other laws and regulations in countries with very new beer scenes (Italy, Spain) or new craft beer scenes (Denmark, Norway) aren't always friendly to small brewers.

In Europe, beer is taxed upon production, not sale. If you're using long-aging periods, or if you’re a small brewer that has a batch go bad after it's been taxed … it hits small producers much harder.

Economies of scale are wildly different for breweries of different sizes. Plenty of European brewers are wildly renowned for products they've been producing for decades or even centuries. In turn, having a strong local market and long term sales to back you up helps in getting ingredients and brewing capacity much cheaper.

HOW THE IPA CONQUERED

AMERICAN CRAFT BEER WORDS BY AMY STRAUSS IMAGES BY ALISON DUNLAP

42

OFFICIAL GUIDE 2016

GRAB A SEAT AT ANY BEER BAR IN PHILADELPHIA AND YOU’LL HAVE YOUR CHOICE OF INDIA PALE ALES, BETTER KNOWN AS IPAS. WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE IPA IS THE MOST POPULAR BEER STYLE AMONG AMERICAN CRAFT BEERS. THE STYLE CAN BE IDENTIFIED

BY ITS SIGNATURE BITTERNESS IMPARTED BY THE BREWER’S CHOICE OF HOPS.

24.5 million barrels of beer in 2015, which estimates to a retail dollar value of $22.3 billion.

and the first to bottle an imperial IPA, 90 Minute, in ‘99.

The IPA style dominates 27.5% of the craft brewing market and it’s nowhere near slowing down. To spell it out even further, the IPA-ification of the craft market has multiplied more than three times since 2008, with the style controlling then just shy of 8%. “There isn’t going to be another success story like IPAs in the near future,” Watson wrote. “Part of this is simply the sheer size of IPA’s success.”

“We’re not alone in this movement,” Calagione continued. “Other great hop-forward beer brewers in [Philadelphia], like Victory, were very early on with HopDevil and Yards with a beautiful IPA. They helped innovate the category and Dogfish Head is very proud of our role of developing niches within it.”

We tapped nine Philadelphia brewers to speak out about the hop-driven style and how they respond to the industry’s stylistic trends, especially one as ever-growing as the India pale ale.

IT’S ALL ABOUT BIG FLAVOR By standard definition, the American-style India pale ale is a beer that has high hop aroma, flavor and bitterness, and ranks high in fruity ester aroma and flavor. America’s buzziest style is big in taste—which is quite different from the subtleness of macro beer.

India pale ale style is by no means new in the global beer scene. The IPA was first made in 1822 as a means of beer preservation on a long British militant voyage to India.

Lukewarm porters were too heavy to survive the balmy temps that the army was up against. Though the IPA was too bitter for some people’s palates, many found it to be a refreshing and bright alternative, and so it made a good claim as the first global beer—before lagers took over the world.

Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales' Sam Calagione, one of the nation’s forerunners in the IPA movement, confirmed that there hasn’t been a single style in the 35-year-old history of the craft beer movement that has had as much impact. “I think it is because it’s a relatively approachable style of beer,” he said. “There’s only one component that is forward—which is hops—and hops are astringent and bitter, and those are the things that make you want to have the next sip. Subconsciously, people are like, ‘wow I really love that beer,’ and that’s cause the astringency of the hops made them want to keep sipping it—and that is a beautiful thing.”

It wasn’t until craft brewers hijacked the style that it became one of the most buzzed about beers of the niche beer scene. But to understand the power of the IPA, you must first consider the industry’s overall trajectory. In the United States, small and independent craft breweries represent 12 percent of the overall market share with 4,269 operating breweries. As the Brewers Association’s Chief Economist Bart Watson recently reported, craft brewers produced

Dogfish Head built its reputation within the IPA market with the continual hopping technique during the brewing processes, which eventually became standardized thanks to the brewery’s patented machine, Sir Hops-A-Lot. The machine allows them, for example, to make their 60 Minute IPA which has 60 hop additions to the batch over a 60-minute boil.

They were also the first to use fruit in an IPA with Aprihop in 1996; the first to create a dark IPA with Indian Brown Ale in 1997,

THE

Cape May Brewing Company’s founder Ryan Krill suggests that the IPA has come to define independently made beer—even though IPAs are just a subsect. “IPAs have become all the rage and they have really come to define it synonymous with craft beer—just like light lager defines Bud, Miller, Coors and big beer,” he said.

“What’s interesting about IPAs and why they have done so well in America is that Americans have these flavor palates that are really bold,” he continued. “So, for Americans who love hot wings and Mountain Dew—things that have big flavor—it’s not a shock that the IPA style has become really popular.”

However, the general term “IPA” is what Evil Genius Beer Company’s co-founder, Luke Bowen, considers to be “macro” in itself. “‘IPA’ can mean so many different things; there are so many subsets of IPAs: mild, earthy English-style IPA; super dry, bitter, really hot (high in alcohol; like a tripel) IPA; session IPAs,” he said. “IPA is such a loosely defined style with so many variants. With so many people saying that an IPA is the flagship of craft beer—because of this, that makes the most sense.”

One of IPA’s variants, the session American-style India pale ale, moved up the ranks in 2015, enough so that the Brewers Association added it to their official Beer Style Guidelines.

(Any IPA with less than 5% ABV is considered a ‘session’ IPA.) Carol Stoudt, co-founder and co-brewer of Pennsylvania’s first craft brewery, Stoudts Brewing Company, agrees that the importance of the IPA style in craft beer differentiates the industry from macro beer. “I think craft brewers wanted to make something that was a point of difference from the mass marketed lagers and all

the European styles of beers,” she said “I think this is how the style of the IPA evolved on its own—the interest in IPAs is basically flavor.”

series (a different experimental hop was used in four batches of the same beer; customers voted on their favorite).

Carol founded Stoudts in Lancaster County in 1987 with her husband, Ed Stoudt. At that time, the Pennsylvania landscape wasn’t hop-driven, so they focused on opening a microbrewery that celebrated their German history. “We wanted to make German beers,” shared Stoudt. “There were a lot of German

BUT, CRAFT IS A BUSINESS AFTER ALL Like Stoudts, Philadelphia’s Saint Benjamin Brewing Company didn’t set out to brew IPAs when it opened in May 2014. “I’m not a hop head, and neither is my business partner, Tim Patton,” shared Christina Burris, Saint Ben’s

“

IF YOU WANTED TO MAKE A BEER THAT WAS DIFFERENT OR THAT TASTES DIFFERENT, THE EASIEST WAY TO DO THAT IS FIND A HOP THAT NO ONE HAS EVER USED BEFORE OR USE A HOP IN A WAY THAT NO ONE HAS EVER DONE imports in the market, but those beers don’t travel as well or have the shelf life. Everything was pretty much lagers in this area, at the time when we were starting, because we didn’t have a lot of craft beers.” In the late ‘80s, Sierra Nevada was in the Pacific Northwest popularizing pale ales, but the Pennsylvania market wasn’t seeing many hoppy pale ales.

Sam Adams was starting to investigate more hop-forward beers, slinging a lager that had a notably different hop character.

Over time, Stoudts expanded its brewing operation—now a 30-barrel system—and elaborated its beer lineup. “We went from the APA to an ESB to an IPA because you want to do a lot of different styles to keep your customers happy,” she shares. “We were historically always about balance and drinkability, so we were reluctant to even get on the double IPA bandwagon just because, to be honest with you, I thought that maybe it was a trend.”

Stoudts, though known for sessionable beers, took a chance on a double IPA as a reaction to the style’s popularity. As Carol puts, “it shaped up to be a very nice, well-balanced double IPA. But it does have almost 10% alcohol by volume, so you can’t really drink two of them.” They also tapped into the experimental hop market with its Four Play 44

”

co-founder and co-brewer. “But, when we first went to market and we didn’t have an IPA on our sales sheet, it was just not okay. We had to develop one and we have since developed several—the market demands it that much.”

Cape May Brewing Company’s Ryan Krill confirmed that in order to get noticed or even attract craft beer drinkers, it’s important to offer an IPA. “Even though there are 9,000 different IPAs in the U.S., (according to sites like BeerAdvocate and RateBeer), everyone makes their own little mark—some people do better than others,” he shared. “As a business owner, you are trying to provide something that people are going to buy, so we have a number of different IPAs that are available.”

Cape May Brewing Company’s goal is to illustrate their creativity by playing with different yeast strains and hop combinations in IPAs. “Every flavor profile compound we can work with, we do the best we can to make it the best possible beer,” continued Krill. “We want to provide the whole experience for our customers, so for those folks who just want to drink IPAs, we can offer them a different range of flavors and alcohol contents within that category.”

Evil Genius, which started regionally as a contract brewery, is preparing to move into

its very first production space in Fishtown as it nears its five year anniversary. This new property will allow the quirky brand the ability to produce smaller batches of experimental IPAs, among other styles, to be served in its forthcoming taproom. Previously, it was too risky for the business to make the jump to having their own space.

“When we started our company, the economy was really bad,” shares Bowen. “We were both poor grad students and we didn’t have millions of dollars to build a brewery. We figured, there are tons of other breweries that started this way [as a contract brewery]—Sam Adams being one of them, as well as Mikkeller. We did it for this period of time because we’ve been able to scale and grow without having to throw out hundreds of thousands of dollars.

We’ve been able to grow very cost effectively.”

Bowen elaborated that the success of the IPA is thanks to the consumer, not just the coolness factor of the style. “You don’t see a lot of schwarzbiers or rauchbiers out there—even though they are cool styles,” he continued. “It’s because they are difficult to sell and they don’t sell. This is a for-profit venture, after all, and you want things that people are going to buy.”

THERE’S AN IPA OUT THERE FOR EVERYONE Conshohocken Brewing Company’s Andrew Horne proclaimed that he’s apathetic when it comes to trends: “I don’t follow them. I don’t know what’s going on. I like what I like,” he joked, aiming to develop IPAs unlike those mass-produced. At Conshohocken, his portfolio ranges from a black IPA, to a blood orange IPA to a pineapple double IPA. Horne confessed that he used to think of IPAs as the lowest common denominator in forms of beer styles, attributing his opinion to his blind sidedness of not seeing the versatility within the style and mostly trying those, at first, that were IBU bombs.

“I used to believe the old quote is, ‘any monkey can throw 400 pounds of hops into a barrel and someone will drink it,’” he continued.

“A lot of people are doing a lot of awesome things with hops in IPAs and people are understanding that you can get so much more flavor and so much more complexity out of

your hops than just throwing 50 pounds into your boil and trying to out-bitter your guy down the road.”

Horne attributed the constant growth of new hop varieties as a factor that extends and strengthens the playing field of American IPAs. “The variability and possibility in style are endless,” he continued. “Hops are a kind of the low-hanging fruit—if you wanted to make a beer that was different or that tastes different, the easiest way to do that is find a hop that no one has ever used before or use a hop in a way that no one has ever done. You have so much more room to play, so much more variation in the hops in terms of the ingredients of the beer than you do with anything else.”

A POPULAR BEER STYLE ISN’T SAFE FROM ITS SHARE OF PROBLEMS Rob Zarko, founder of Ship Bottom Brewing, is in the process of expanding his one-barrel brewhouse to a Beach Haven, New Jersey-based, 15-barrel system, slated to open in June 2016. He suggested that with so many breweries springing up throughout the country, it’s becoming an issue for brewers

to secure hop contracts—especially for the popular hops. “[Hop contractors] want to look out for the hop farmers so they can make sure the production is there before you lock in your contract,” he explained. “They have you predict what you are going to do in three to five years. They use that data so the farmers can grow what they need to grow.”

Philadelphia’s Dock Street Brewing Company’s brewer Vince DesRosiers remembers when, during his previous brewing gig at Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant seven-to-eight years ago, how trying it was to get Simcoe and Amarillo hops. “Just hearing about them was cool,” he recalled. “If I had to guess, the same thing will happen for many other hop varieties in the future.”

“Relatively speaking, we are still early on in the renaissance of hops as far as how they are being used right now in beer,” he continued.

“The whole revolution of using them the way they are being used now and the different varieties that are coming up, I still think it has legs to it. We’re always seeing new varieties of hops and with them will come new flavors.”

He reports that Mosaic and Galaxy hops are beginning to become a bit more difficult for breweries to source. Currently, for some places like HopUnion, some hops—even Amarillo—are sold out for the next four to five years. “When I’m looking at our hop contracts, we always work a couple years ahead,” he shared. “A lot of it, for me, is about the product that I want to put out. I absolutely love using Citra hops—they are in our beer A Dog Named Pierre. I also keep an on-going supply of Simcoe and Amarillo hops, since our Rye IPA—which we started putting in cases again—is pretty heavy with both varieties.”

Carol Stoudt’s philosophy is, while some of the most “buzz-word hops” are hard to get, it’s a testament to the creativity of the brewer who, with that limitation, can come up with a different recipe using different varieties of hops. “Supply and demand is weird,” she shared. “Everyone wanted to do Cascade, influenced by Sierra Nevada. Now everyone is on the Mosaic [bandwagon]. Of course, if you have one person doing an experimental brew with that specific hop, then all of a sudden the buzz gets out and then, everyone wants that hop. You want what you can’t have.”

Realistically speaking, Saint Benjamin’s Burris suggested that the smaller breweries hitting the market, who don’t have hop contracts, will have to buy the ingredients on the open market. Presumably, they may not be able to get the quantity of hops at the price they need to make an IPA, and thus, she predicts a decrease in the production of the style as a whole.

“Considering the hop access, that will force brewers to develop more interesting styles,” she said, using the style of rye IPAs as an example, which became popular roughly a decade ago, due to a previous hop shortage. “There will still always be IPAs, but there is just going to have to be more nuanced categories. It’s about time the American palate developed and I think it’s on us to educate people on the different styles and really ask the new drinkers what do you like to drink so they can try something that is not just hop heavy.”

TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL As a reminder, 88-precent of American beer-drinking population do not drink craft beer. “As we constantly erode against that 88-precent, the first thing that people do when they come into craft is they find an IPA that they like,” concluded Bowen. “The flavors are so intense and delicious, that people who try them for the first time and are ready to come to craft, they can’t get enough—that’s why it’s so popular. This style will never go away.”

Interestingly so, Evil Genius’ first most popular beer was Purple Monkey Dishwasher, a chocolate-peanut butter stout. Bowen attributes its following to the recipe being so different and its usage of all-natural ingredients. However, recently Stacy’s Mom, their approachable, tropical fruity IPA has become their number one best seller. “This is the type of IPA people want right now—one that you can have more than one of them,” Bowen said.

With the tremendous level of experimentation that goes into the IPA style, brewers are just starting to challenge the style’s standards and take it to the next level. This is only the beginning. “For someone to say, ‘I don’t like IPAs,’ it’s an uninformed blanket statement,”

46

OFFICIAL GUIDE 2016

continued Conshohocken’s Horne. “There has to be a hop flavor, a hop aroma out there somewhere that you like and it draws you in.”

Dogfish’s Calagione agrees. “I think IPAs are a very accessible way for a non-beer geek, someone just getting into craft beer, to take baby steps out onto the flavor bridge,” he concluded.

“If you think of the master continent as light lager and all of the craft breweries are out on a flavor bridge, the IPA is the gentle step towards flavor. Then, you can just go towards hoppier and the next thing you know, you’re trying tripels, lambics, etc. Very rarely, does someone walk out onto that flavor bridge and say, ‘you know, I’m tired of flavorful beer, I’m walking back to light lager.’”

With 99% of craft beer drinkers identifying flavor as an important characteristic in selecting a craft beer to purchase, as sourced in a recent Nielsen study, it’s no surprise that IPAs are the trendiest craft beers of them all.

But, what will be the next IPA? That’s for you to decide.

WHAT’S THE NEXT BEER TREND? “A renewed interest in cleaner styles like the German pilsner and things of that nature that won’t require that much hops and you have to have a skilled hand in the brewhouse to make. Whether they’ll end up rivaling the IPA, that’s going to come down to the palate of the consumer.” — Christina Burris, Saint Benjamin Brewing Co.

“People do like the word ‘sessionability.’ Going back to beers that you can have more than one of. The quote ‘new beer consumer’ or ‘beer geek’ doesn’t understand that a well-made pilsner really is a wonderful craft. I’m seeing growth in these styles. In our area, we have a lot of local breweries that also make a fine pilsner, which helps the whole movement.“ — Carol Stoudt, Stoudts Brewing Co. “I think all trendspotters, all analysts are pointing to scrapple-infused stouts. They are going to be the new IPA in 2017. But, my most true answer, you’ll see brewers continuing to disintegrate the militant style to brewing, and Dogfish will continue to innovate new off-centered ways to do things with ingredients and processes that no one has done before. We are so proud that so many other breweries are on their creative journey, but we are very proud that we never really followed trends. We’ve always tried to set our own course.” — Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales “I think the era of really high ABV beers is over. You want sessionable beers that people can have more than one of and really enjoy them. You’ll find a vast majority of people just want to drink something accessible and tasty.

That’s where the market is going.” — Luke Bowen, Evil Genius Beer Co. “Part of me wants to say pilsner or lagers in general. It takes so much skill to make a good one.” — Vince DesRosiers, Dock Street Brewing Co.

“I’ve heard people say that the pils is the next IPA. In eastern Pennsylvania, we’ve been blessed with so many great breweries that brew such great pilsners and other styles of lagers. I’d love for those beer styles grow in popularity.” — Brian O’Reilly, Sly Fox Brewing Co.

“I think that sours are going to continue to become popular. We’ll see a regression back to lighter, lower alcohol beers; the session style beer, maybe within staying an IPA—having all that hop character but toning it down with the alcohol.” — Ryan Krill, Cape May Brewing Co.

“Short answer: sour beer. Long answer: playing with yeast. I think brewers are going to start playing around a lot more with yeast the way we played with hops to make IPAs. There is a whole wide world of yeast and wild fermentation that people are starting to scratch the surface on. I know a lot has been done, but I don’t think we’ve gotten that far into it.” — Andrew Horne, Conshohocken Brewing Co.

“People are moving into lower ABVs with IPAs and sours and then, barrel aging off of those to establish different tastes and components of the beers. Also, people are trying to gobble up some of the macro beer market. People are coming out with more pilsners; lighter beers like kolschs, blonde ales—targeting that audience.” — Rob Zarko, Ship Bottom.
