Hybrid Minds
Polly's Brew Co.

Now that we’ve grown to a point where our hop merchant pretty much gives us free rein with any varietal we’re after, it means we can afford to experiment with utilizing different techniques along the brewing process of our beers. Hybrid Minds is a straight up two-hop showcase of a pale ale – Idaho 7 bringing zesty marmalade with underlying earthy black tea notes, and Nelson Sauvin showing why it’s one of the most sought-after varietals on the planet with its characteristic white wine grape and gooseberry medley. The real magic in this beer though is through our use of Cryo Idaho 7 in the whirlpool; creating, in our opinion anyway, a much cleaner bitterness throughout the drinking experience. Bridging that gap between pale ale and IPA strength at 5.8% and wrapped up in our bespoke LA3 strain for maximum fluffiness, this beer is an expression of our love of experimentation.
