Another new beer means another ode to another influential athlete. Growing up as a kid I was introduced very young to the “Faithful To The Bay” community by my father. Being a fan of the 49ers my whole life and watching the franchise change over the years. I thought what better way to share that than by brewing a beer. That is how “George Kettle” was born. This new single hazy starts off with our usual malt bill that we use in all our hazies. Creating that pillowy fluffy mouthfeel we’ve all grown to love. We then top it off with pounds and pounds of hops! For the hops we wanted to use a variety that we have not used before at SBC, and for that we chose Idaho 7. Idaho 7 brought loads of Tropical, Citrus, Stone Fruit, Melon and Berry notes to this beer that we absolutely loved. But, we didn’t stop there, we kept going. On top of Idaho 7 we went with 2 of our favorites: Strata and Krush. This helped balance out that fruit salad with a little bit of dankness, bubblegum, and grapefruit. So whether you’re yelling at your TV over an unnecessary flag, or you’re slamming wings with friends. Fill your glass, raise a paint, and let’s cheers to the Football Season!
Cheers!
Mark Shaw, Head Brewer
