Originally released in 1984, Excitebike featured 10 courses of logs, jumps, and turbo pads to motocross. You had to watch your temperature to prevent over heating, and if you fell off your bike, you likely had to Frogger your way back across the field of competitors. We watched our temperatures on this beer and may have fermented a bit on the high end, but we’re looking forward to this hopped up brew. Recipe is for 10 gallon batch.
