Study Notes

Hops and Bitterness

  • Hops are cone-like flowers that add flavor, aroma, and bitterness to beer.
  • International Bitterness Unit (IBU) measures beer bitterness, ranging from 0 (no hops) to 100 (extreme bitterness).
  • A higher IBU indicates a more bitter beer, while a lower IBU suggests a smoother taste.

Malt and Grains

  • Malted barley is barley grain that undergoes wetting, germination, and drying to develop sugar and flavor characteristics.
  • Base malt is the primary source of sugar in brewing, while specialty grains provide complex sugars for flavor.
  • Specialty grains, such as coffee and chocolate, impart unique flavors to the beer.

Yeast in Brewing

  • Yeast is a microorganism that transforms fermentable sugars from wort into alcohol, carbon dioxide, and flavors.
  • Common yeast categories include ale, wheat, Belgian, and lager.

Brewing Process

  • The six stages of brewing are: milling, mashing, lautering, sparging, boiling, and fermentation.
  • Milling involves cracking malted barley to expose starches, while mashing mixes milled malt with hot water to create wort.
  • Lautering drains and filters wort, and sparging rinses grains for maximum sugar extraction.
  • Boiling involves heating wort and adding hops at different stages for bitterness, flavor, and aroma.
  • Fermentation is when yeast converts sugars to alcohol, followed by filtering for clarity and packaging.

Beers Overview

  • Beers are categorized from lightest to heaviest: Backcountry Blonde, Diamond Down Lager, Red Rock Raspberry Ale, and others.
  • Backcountry Blonde is a light golden ale with a clean finish; Diamond Down Lager is crisp with slightly malty flavors.
  • Flagstaff IPA is a popular and heavily hopped West Coast-style beer with multiple awards.

Beer Specs

  • Specific beers have varying IBUs and ABVs (alcohol by volume):
    • Railhead Red: 50 IBU, 5.8% ABV
    • Flagstaff IPA: 90 IBU, 6.1% ABV
    • Pumphouse Porter: 50 IBU, 6.7% ABV

Whiskey and Spirits

  • Irish whiskey: Jameson; American whiskeys include Ten High, Buffalo Trace, Bulleit, and others.
  • Scotch options include House of Stuart and Johnnie Walker Black; single malt: Macallan 12yr.
  • Three types of rum: light, dark, spiced; options include Bacardi, Captain Morgan, and Kraken.
  • Gins served: Barton, Bombay Sapphire, Hendricks.

Tequila Varieties

  • Four categories: Plata or blanco, oro or joven abocado, reposado, and añejo; includes Milagro and Siete Leguas.

Wines and Pairings

  • House wines: Coastal Vines available in chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon.
  • Red and white wines from California, Italy, and Chile.
  • Sangrias are available in white and red, served in different portions.

Cocktails

  • Signature cocktails include Downtowner Manhattan and Yard Old Fashioned, showcasing unique ingredient combinations.
  • Notable mixed drinks like Strawberry Fields and Key West Cooler emphasize fresh ingredients.

Environmental Considerations

  • Use of cans over bottles for better recyclability and lighter transport impacts the brewery’s sustainability approach.

Production Capacity

  • A 20 BBL brewhouse and 40 BBL fermenters allow for high-volume beer production, estimated at 1300 BBLs/year for BSB and 7000 BBLs/year for LBC.

Brewing Timeline

  • Ales typically take about two weeks to produce, whereas lagers require around four weeks due to different fermentation temperatures and methods.

Cost Factors

  • Higher costs for certain beers are attributed to ingredient and labor requirements, particularly for stronger beers.
