Exploratory IPA Series

The first brew of this exploratory IPA series showcases Mash Hopping and Thiolized Yeast. We added hops with high amounts of Thiols to the mash, which convert during fermentation into intensely aromatic notes of pink guava, grapefruit zest and juicy passion fruit. Using Thiolized yeasts helps to release these bound Thiols, amplifying their powerful aromatics, making Centre Cut No. 1 a fastball of complex flavour, right down the middle.
Named for both the pitch and the method of core-sampling from hop bales when selecting our favourite varieties, every IPA in this series will explore an aspect of the brewing process, whether that is a new-to-us hop, ingredient, or process.

All orders with beer or wine must be within the Province of Ontario and have a bag of chips to comply with the Provincial rules. All orders that do not include chips will sadly be cancelled.
