Half Acre Beer Company

Collaboration with Binny's stores in Chicagoland

As for a malt bill, Rumble Grumble blends some workhorse staples along with a touch of Vienna malt. A healthy addition of wheat and oats helped ensure it was plenty hazy, soft and creamy. Fermentation employed London 3 and Conan, a pair of estery yeasts that are famous for imparting fruity flavors and aromas.

Last, but not least, the hops – so many hops. Zero hops were introduced during the boil. Only after the wort had been cooled down a bit, were hops introduced to the whirlpool. This helped ensure pronounced hop flavor, but minimal bitterness.

As for the dry hopping – Rumble Grumble was dry hopped twice with a massive mix of Sabro, Simcoe, Citra and El Dorado. Clocking in at over 5 pounds per barrel – that’s nearly twice the rate of many Half Acre DIPAs. It’s an irresponsible amount of hops, but after a taste – it was worth it.

Mango, papaya, peaches, pineapple and cantaloupe are among the many flavors in this juicy masterpiece. Hats off to Half Acre, you’ve done it again. It was a pleasure being a part to such a delicious DIPA.
