It is time to grow your own hops!

We have just received our once a year shipment of hop rhizomes ready to plant. These are root cuttings which have budding hop plants already growing from them. Only one time a year are these available, so get them now, and plant them A.S.A.P. Quantities are limited, and the sooner you get them the better they will grow.

The varieties are: Cascade, Centennial, Goldings, Hallertaur, Mt.Hood, Chinook, Horizon, Nugget,Tettnanger, Saaz, Fuggle, and Willamette. The roots are $3.75 each. The rhizomes grow a twining vine which will climb up to twenty feet. Usually they are wrapped around a trellis or string so they will make a great looking ornamental plant as well as a source for brewing material. Sometimes they will take a year or two before flowering, as they need to develop a root system to flower. They die back each winter and return in spring. Come get em quick because they are only available once a year! We also have a handout for helpful growing tips.

Big Eye IPA
We will soon have Big Eye IPA available for full RETAIL SALE. Next week the latest batch of our India Pale Ale will be available in 1/2, 1, 5, and 15.5 gallon sizes. Don’t forget the tasters at our tasting bar. A special carbonated Black Marlin Porter available in JUGS and a 3 year old mead plus our regular offerings of Calico Copper and Yellowtail Pale Ale now on tap.

Black Marlin Porter

Black Marlin Porter
(Dark, creamy, velvet smooth American style Porter served on Nitrogen- we brewed this beer because we couldn’t find it anywhere else!)

Porters are a style of beer that developed in London in the mid 1800’s. It has a confusing and difficult to sort out history. We know that some Porters began as a bartender’s blend of three ales that would be ordered as “three strands.” Breweries caught on to the popularity of the
blend and began to brew beers having the characteristics of the blend. This popular beer became known as Porter, because railroad porters were its biggest fans.

A typical London workingman’s meal of the time might have consisted of Porter, bread, and oysters (which were then considered to be lower class fare). As different styles of Porters developed, one of the most popular was dry porter, which emphasized the use of roasted barley. This type of Porter eventually became known as Stout. Today the use of roasted barley distinguishes Stouts from Porters.

Ballast Point Black Marlin Porter is a rich dark chocolaty Porter with a distinctive American hop character. It is nitrogen dispensed which gives it a creamy texture, thick head and a balanced flavor that is reminiscent of traditional British cask conditioned ales. It is a great beer to go with
hearty foods and is surprisingly one of the few beers that goes well with dessert. One of our favorite combinations here at Ballast Point is Black Marlin Porter with apple pie a la mode.den.

Very Important Beer Information!

New Hop variety in stock, Amarillo which is a Cascade derivative. With an alpha acid at 8.5% it is a nice higher alpha hop with a great flavor and aroma. This hop was made famous by Kirk Mchale, the brewer at Carlsbad Pizza Port. His Amarillo Ale has been widely imitated but never duplicated. Be sure to stop by the Port and ask for one, it’s quite nice.

Call for reservations 858-587-6677 If you haven’t been to Hops in a while give it a new look. Chuck has reworked the beers at Hops and you will be pleasantly surprised.

The recipes this week employ Dry Malt in place of Syrup malt. This allows for a lighter color and lessened carmel flavor. Any time you are looking for less carmel taste and/or less color you can use Dry Malt powder. You can sub it for the syrup any time at the rate of about 80% of the syrup. So if the recipe calls for 8 lbs of Syrup you would use 6.4 lbs of Dry.
