Project Find The Limit

Today we are introducing a new project that aims to find the limit of what is reasonably enjoyable in a hoppy beer. There is no doubt the idea of ‘more’ is appealing and utilized by breweries across the world, including Tree House. But, how much is too much? What value does ‘extra’ dry-hopping bring to the enjoyability of a beer? With this project, we will pull back the curtain and find out.

Each batch will contain a progressively greater residual sugar content and dry hop. Once we arrive at eight or more pounds per barrel of dry hop, we will begin to take a poll as to whether we have Found the Limit on a given batch. We will find the limit when 50% or more voters suggest that we not take the project further. Or, when we can’t reasonably add anything else to the tank, whatever comes first.

Upon the conclusion of the project, our hope is that we can together refocus on balance, flavor saturation, and drinkability…. we hope to have a lot of fun and learn a lot about each other while doing it!
