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.
