The Rubicon Brewing Company is celebrating the hop harvest season for the entire month of October and with their annual 3rd Annual Hoptoberfest on October 31st and November 1st. This Hoptoberfest also marks the 21st Anniversary of the Rubicon Brewing Company.

Hop harvest season is a time to celebrate, as the hops produced play multiple important roles in the brewing process and final product of great beer. Hops offer a stabilizing effect to the scientific brewing operation, and dependent on which strains of hops are used, they can produce a variety of flavors and aromas. Additionally, hops played a very important part in the history of the India Pale Ale (IPA), which was born in the 1700s when Britain, to avoid spoilage, added extra hops- because of its preservative qualities- to batches of pale ale that were being shipped to India.

The can revolution continues. My dad has given up on the can, and now buys his PBR in bottles only. I am in love with Dale’s Pale Ale, as well as Maui Coconut Porter. Both of these beers are canned and proud of it. I am a fan of technology, and good beer, so however I can get my beer colder and fresher, I will do it. It just so happens much progress has been made in the aluminum can packaging process, and a few beers have made a name for themselves because of it.

Appearance: Light clear golden with dancing bubbles Begins with a large,sudsy head that subsides to a half inch of suds. Leaves very foamy lace.

Aroma: Graham crackers and orange juice.
