I'm super excited for this new American IPA from Ben. It's rumored to have the same Vermont yeast also used by The Alchemist. Release party is at Lord Hobo, Cambridge Thursday Feb 26th.
Definitely. Part of the reason he's brewing beers like this is to draw more people into the brewery. Howe will produce one five-barrel batch of Kesey every month for the rest of the year, with a third of the kegs reserved for on-site growler fills. The remaining two-thirds of the production will be parsed out to special on-premise accounts. Howe says he’s reluctant to package any of the current product, but a limited bottle run could be in their future. www.bostonmagazine.com/restaurants/blog/2015/02/06/liquid-diet-enlightenment-ales-ken-kesey-tribute/
