Hop Series Hallertau Hop Ale — Alexander Keith’s

Single-hop (and indeed, single-hop/single-malt pale ales), are becoming a bit of a “thing” in the beer scene.  Using careful hop additions to draw out the characteristics of the hops is something of an art form.  It’s not easily done, and it’s even challenging choosing which hop to focus on, right down to which crop or […]
