Curiosity Ninety Nine

An innovative Double IPA by Tree House Brewing Company

Originating in a small red barn in Brimfield in 2013, the Tree House Curiosity Series has enabled us to explore our creative instincts in a way that has created dozens of memorable beers and has served to improve upon our core offerings with breakthroughs in understanding of how process variables ultimately contribute to the outcome of a finished beer.

In anticipation of a huge milestone for the Curiosity Series, Ninety Nine finds us veering into very unfamiliar territory, moving away from the process-focused endeavors of the nineties and back into the uncharted waters of new base malts and hop varieties. For our first time, we utilized a German pilsner malt as a base. This is surprising, we know, but we wanted to see how it would work with our House yeast blend and Double IPA process. In addition to the German pilsner malt base, we utilized literal buckets of Mandarina Bavaria hops in a blend with several American hops aiming to accentuate the tangerine-like characteristics of these hops. The resulting beer is surprisingly soft, with a creamy body and delicious hop saturation. We taste and smell ripe tangerines, peach flesh, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon. We aspire to make beer that is a pleasure to drink and can be enjoyed by every palate, time, and time again. To that end, we find Ninety Nine to be a triumph that has us energized and excited for the future of the series. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
