We dropped Hāpi Daze as a bonus beer on top of the Dr Grordbort’s brews last week.
Hāpi Daze is a work in progress. Ultimately the aim is to brew a really nice sessionable caramel blonde ale, assertively hoppy without being overly bitter and with a light fruity character (someone described the version we dropped to Hashigo as being peachy). This version was brewed to a higher alcohol that we ultimately envision for the beer, but we liked it and judging by the feedback we had, so did you. If you haven’t had a chance to try it, sorry it’s all gone. But do not fear. It shall return.
