2019 Craft Brewers Conference

Hidden Secrets of the New England IPA (Room Mile High Ballroom 2-3)

10 Apr 19
2:40 PM - 3:40 PM

Tracks: Technical Brewing

Join Dr. John Paul Maye, Technical Director at Hopsteiner, as he shares his amazing research into New England IPAs, a.k.a. Hazy IPAs. He will describe the basic brewing process of this new beer style and explain why these beers are not very bitter yet are full of hop flavor. He will also explain why the perceived bitterness does not correlate with the IBU test results and why many of these beers taste fruity or juicy. Finally, he will discuss the numerous tests he has conducted on the haze to determine what it is, what it isn’t and what secrets it is hiding.
