Talkin' Bout Glassware - LGU Beer Glassware 101

With no major beer release to cover this week, Adam, Chris and Mark delve deep into a discussion on glassware for beer. Prompted by a question from a listener, this topic was just too vast for a short answer. So raise your glass (and make sure it's the proper one) as we toast our beers!

Batch 300 Imperial IPA Revisited

This week Adam and Mark catch up on taproom and beer garden goings-on and turn it over to brewers Justin, Dan and Patrick in a "throwback Thursday" episode dedicated to one of our hoppy faves, Batch 300 Imperial IPA. Originally brewed as the 300th batch of Land-Grant beer, a celebratory event for which our brew team wanted to whip up something special, Batch 300 is a beer that exists outside of our M.O. To truly commemorate the occasion, we developed the single malt Imperial IPA you hold in your hands: brewed with Floor Malted Bohemian pilsner malt for lighter body, and the most hops we’d ever poured into a beer. Citra, Mosaic, and Moteuka hops deliver a punch of lupulin. Here’s to 300 more!
