(1. A natural skill for gardening. 2. Someone who has been picking hops.)
Piquant, provocative, and powerful, our second brew is an IPA- but no ordinary IPA! Green-Thumb is a Ginger India Pale Ale which combines the unique zesty and pungent character of heirloom hop Bullion with the unmistakable tangy tropical notes of freshly ground Ginger root. The heat from the Ginger enhances the bitterness of the Bullion. Together, the two botanicals provide the dry malty backbone of the beer with a spicy heat, an intense bitterness, and a united front of harmonious flavours; resinous piney notes and zesty tropical character, which linger into a long, bitter finish. Enjoy!
This brew is based upon a recipe our brewer first created for sale at celebrated Hamilton craft beer bar; The Ship. The launch of The Ships Rations back in 2013 was a great success in all regards except for availability! For Garden Brewers, this wonderfully bitter and spicy brew has evolved into Green-Thumb Ginger IPA, and will enjoy both a more frequent, and wider, availability!

Probably drinkable without the ginger.Some hops to finish it. On tap at craft. Enormous quantity of thick mocha foam and head, so smooth mouthfeel. Unique.
