A beer named for everyone’s favorite Shiba Inu.
There were some issues with the grain bill and the amount of two row included. We “think” we resolved it, but the beer looks like it will come out much stronger than we anticipated. This maxed our system and was likely the hardest beer we ever brewed. We have also entered this beer into the Bluebonnet Brew-off to be judged in March.
