As we gather around our tables this Thanksgiving, raising glasses filled with craft beer, wine, or cider, it’s natural to wonder: what did the Pilgrims drink at the first Thanksgiving? The answer might surprise you, and it’s not as straightforward as you might think.

The Myth of the Pilgrim’s Beer

Contrary to popular belief, the Pilgrims likely didn’t have beer at the first Thanksgiving in 1621. This misconception stems from clever marketing campaigns by beer companies in the early 20th century, particularly after the repeal of Prohibition. The United States Brewers Association even claimed, “It was beer, not turkey, that lured the Pilgrims to Plymouth Rock” – a statement that’s more fiction than fact.

What They Actually Drank

The Pilgrims and Their Drinks

Water: The Simple Staple

Believe it or not, water was likely the primary beverage at the first Thanksgiving. The Plymouth area had abundant clean water from freshwater streams and springs, making it a reliable and safe option for the Pilgrims.

Hard Cider: A Possible Treat

While not certain, there’s a chance that hard cider made an appearance at the feast. The Pilgrims were familiar with cider from England, and they may have used wild apples found in the New World to ferment a small batch.

Why No Beer?

Several factors contributed to the absence of beer at the first Thanksgiving:

1. Lack of Ingredients: The Pilgrims hadn’t yet established crops for brewing, particularly barley.
2. Time Constraints: Brewing takes time, and survival was the priority in those early days.
3. No Brewery: The first recorded brewery license in Massachusetts wasn’t issued until 1637, a full 16 years after the first Thanksgiving.

The Real Story Behind the Pilgrims and Beer

While beer wasn’t at the first Thanksgiving, it did play a crucial role in the Pilgrims’ journey:

• Beer was a staple on the Mayflower, with each person allocated about a gallon per day.
• The decision to land at Plymouth Rock was partly influenced by dwindling beer supplies.

A Toast to Simplicity

As craft beer enthusiasts, we might feel a twinge of disappointment that our favorite beverage wasn’t part of the first Thanksgiving. However, the Pilgrims’ simple celebration, likely featuring water and possibly some hard cider, reminds us of the true spirit of the holiday – gratitude for survival and new beginnings. So this Thanksgiving, as you sip your carefully selected craft beer, take a moment to appreciate how far we’ve come. And maybe, just maybe, raise a glass of water in honor of those resourceful Pilgrims who started it all.

Understanding Hazy IPAs

Hazy IPAs have captured the hearts and palates of beer enthusiasts worldwide with their hazy appearance and explosive flavors. Through careful hop selection, generous dry hopping, and the omission of filtration, brewers have mastered the art of crafting these juicy delights. The result is a beer style that offers a refreshing and mouthwatering experience, with tropical and citrus flavors taking center stage. Whether you’re a seasoned craft beer enthusiast or new to the world of IPAs, exploring hazy IPAs opens up a whole new realm of sensory pleasure and showcases the boundless creativity of brewers in the craft beer industry.

Hazy IPAs: Unveiling the Juicy Delight

Hazy IPAs have taken the craft beer scene by storm, captivating beer enthusiasts with their distinct appearance and explosive flavor profiles. These beers are characterized by their hazy, opaque appearance, often resembling a glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice. But what sets them apart goes beyond their visual appeal – it’s the explosion of juicy flavors that truly makes hazy IPAs a delight for the senses.

Brewing Secrets: Crafting the Haze

The secret behind the haze lies in the brewing process. Brewers employ specific techniques to achieve the characteristic cloudiness and intense hop aroma of hazy IPAs. One key aspect is the careful selection of hops. Brewers opt for varieties that contribute tropical fruit, citrus, and stone fruit aromas, such as Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy hops.

To maximize the hop flavors, brewers employ generous dry hopping. Dry hopping involves adding hops during or after fermentation, allowing the volatile oils and aromas to infuse the beer. In the case of hazy IPAs, brewers often employ multiple dry hop additions to enhance the hop character and create a more pronounced aroma.

Unlike traditional IPAs that undergo filtration to remove sediment and achieve clarity, hazy IPAs skip this step. By omitting filtration, the beer retains the naturally occurring proteins, hop particles, and yeast, resulting in the characteristic haze. This decision not only adds to the beer’s visual appeal but also contributes to its creamy and smooth mouthfeel.

The combination of the unique hop selection, generous dry hopping, and lack of filtration results in a beer bursting with intense hop aromas and flavors. Hazy IPAs often exhibit notes of tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, and passion fruit, as well as citrusy nuances of grapefruit and tangerine. The absence of filtration allows the hop oils and other flavor compounds to remain in suspension, giving hazy IPAs their juicy and fruit-forward character.

The popularity of hazy IPAs has led brewers to experiment with different hop combinations, exploring new and exciting flavors. Some brewers even incorporate fruit additions, such as pureed fruits or fruit juices, to enhance the beer’s fruity profile and create a more vibrant sensory experience.

The Origins of Hazy IPAs

Hazy IPAs have their roots in the New England region of the United States. Breweries like The Alchemist and Tree House Brewing Company in Vermont, and Trillium Brewing Company in Massachusetts, played pivotal roles in popularizing this style. These early pioneers focused on brewing hop-forward beers with a softer, smoother mouthfeel and a haziness that set them apart from their clear counterparts. As word spread and beer enthusiasts sought out these unique offerings, the popularity of hazy IPAs began to spread far beyond New England’s borders, influencing brewers worldwide.

From New England to a Worldwide Craze

Hazy IPAs, although now enjoyed by beer enthusiasts globally, have their origins deeply rooted in the New England region of the United States. The style emerged as a response to the prevailing trend of clear, West Coast-style IPAs, which showcased bold bitterness and crisp clarity. However, a group of pioneering breweries in New England sought to challenge the conventional notions of what an IPA could be.

In the early 2010s, breweries like The Alchemist, Tree House Brewing Company, and Trillium Brewing Company, among others, began experimenting with brewing IPAs that possessed a distinctive haze and a unique flavor profile. These breweries focused on creating beers that emphasized the juicy, fruity hop flavors while minimizing the bitter bite traditionally associated with IPAs.

One of the most notable early players in the hazy IPA movement was The Alchemist, located in Waterbury, Vermont. Their flagship beer, “Heady Topper,” became a cult favorite and an emblematic example of the hazy IPA style. Heady Topper showcased a hazy golden appearance, a smooth and creamy mouthfeel, and an explosion of tropical and citrus hop flavors. Beer enthusiasts lined up for hours to get their hands on this elusive and highly sought-after brew.

Around the same time, Tree House Brewing Company, based in Monson, Massachusetts, gained recognition for their hazy IPAs, particularly their flagship beer, “Julius.” Tree House focused on brewing hop-forward beers with a soft, pillowy mouthfeel and an intense fruitiness that delighted drinkers. Their dedication to quality and consistency elevated hazy IPAs to new heights.

Trillium Brewing Company, located in Boston, Massachusetts, also played a crucial role in shaping the hazy IPA movement. Trillium’s commitment to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients and their relentless pursuit of flavor excellence helped establish them as a leader in the craft beer industry. Their lineup of hazy IPAs, such as “Congress Street” and “Fort Point,” showcased the brewery’s ability to create beautifully balanced and exceptionally aromatic beers.

As word spread about the unique and enticing qualities of hazy IPAs, beer enthusiasts from all corners of the country and beyond sought out these breweries and their highly coveted beers. People would travel long distances, trade beers, and eagerly await releases, creating a fervent and passionate following.

The popularity of these New England breweries and their hazy IPAs sparked a phenomenon that quickly spread across the United States and, eventually, the world. As more breweries and beer drinkers embraced the style, hazy IPAs became a recognized and highly sought-after category in the craft beer landscape. Brewers from all regions began experimenting with their own interpretations of hazy IPAs, resulting in a vast array of styles, flavors, and variations.

Today, the influence of New England’s hazy IPAs can be seen in breweries worldwide, with countless interpretations and iterations of the style available to beer enthusiasts. The impact of these early pioneers cannot be overstated, as they paved the way for a beer revolution that continues to captivate palates and push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of craft beer.

The Popularity and Impact

Within Central Pennsylvania’s craft beer scene, one style has truly captured the hearts of both brewers and beer enthusiasts: hazy IPAs. These juicy and aromatic brews have become a sensation, drawing crowds and igniting a passionate following. The popularity of hazy IPAs in Central Pennsylvania reflects the broader craft beer movement, where these beers have earned a prominent place on tap lists and in beer fridges across the region.

The impact of hazy IPAs extends beyond their popularity among beer drinkers. These beers have spurred creativity and innovation among Central Pennsylvania’s breweries, inspiring brewers to experiment with hop varieties, adjuncts, and brewing techniques to create their own unique takes on the style. The rise of hazy IPAs has also contributed to the growth and expansion of the craft beer industry in Central Pennsylvania, attracting new breweries and fostering a sense of camaraderie and collaboration among brewers. As a result, the region’s craft beer scene has flourished, offering an abundance of hazy IPAs that showcase the talent and passion of Central Pennsylvania’s brewers.

The Allure of Hazy IPAs: A Consumer’s Delight

Hazy IPAs have gained immense popularity among beer enthusiasts for several reasons. One factor is their approachability. The juicy and fruit-forward flavor profile, coupled with a softer and less bitter hop presence compared to traditional IPAs, makes hazy IPAs more accessible to a wider audience. Additionally, their smooth and creamy mouthfeel adds to their allure, creating a highly enjoyable drinking experience.

Fueling Creativity: Brewer’s Perspective

The rise of hazy IPAs has had a profound impact on the brewing industry. Brewers have embraced the style, pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation. The hazy IPA trend has encouraged brewers to experiment with hop combinations, exploring new flavor profiles and showcasing the versatility of different hop varieties. As a result, the craft beer market has seen an influx of exciting hazy IPAs with unique hop profiles, tantalizing fruit additions, and captivating can designs. The popularity of hazy IPAs has also led to an increase in the number of breweries producing this style, further fueling its growth and diversifying the options available to consumers.

New England or Hazy IPAs have also become a favorite for home brewers to make. Its an easier style to produce, and the hops typically hide any deficiencies in the brewing process. If you attend any home brew festivals you will be sure to encounter many New England or Hazy IPAs, so be prepared. (Good thing you brought those pretzel necklaces along to cleanse out your pallet!)

It is the end of January already, and I’m finally finishing this article. I started it up while waiting to finish the Mellow Mink visit blog entry, and I started it the day we got the small snow storm. (January 8th, 2020.) I’m just now finishing this up (editing, everything else was mostly written, except for this small introduction). Just got home from work, binging the final episodes of season 6 of BoJack Horseman while I finish this up, and ending my January sipping on some Pink Hippo by Boneshire Brew Works. If you’ve never watched BoJack Horseman, do yourself a favor, and immediately start doing it as soon as you’re done reading this blog. Or do both at the same time. But definitely check it out!

(And with that being the new stuff after editing this and inserting hyperlinks, I’ll now move onto what I had written back on January 8th.)

Whats better than having the day off? Shoveling on your day off! And no, its not a snow-day day off, this is my natural day off. It’d be one thing if it was a free day, a new day off, a snow-day day off. But nope…. just a day off where it snowed and therefore I have to shovel. *GRUMBLE GRUMBLE GRUMBLE*. But…. you know what does make it ok? And passes the time while shoveling?

….Beer…..Especially…. REALLY…. STINKING…. AMAZING…… GOOD Beer!

And that is definitely what this is. It is simply tasty and amazing, and one of the few Tree House beers I’ve had before this time (actually had it three other times before this.) This was part of the five-pack my good friend D. Arndt brought back from his trip up north with his fiance. The five pack he brought back was: Sap, Haze, Autumn, Julius, and Doppelganger. So far I have reviewed the first four (counting this one), and will soon have my Doppelganger review up.

I’m not super full tilt “haze craze” but I do love hazy beers. Then again…. I do like (well crafted) beers of all styles. This certainly meets the criteria of ‘well crafted’, and it also meets the definition of ‘haze’, and I do love it. Going back to when I first had this beer a few years ago, it was the first Untappd beer I gave five stars to. And my opinion of it hasn’t changed much either. Even with so many newer, more flashier haze beers, and so many new options to choose from, this is still a phenomenal beer.

So let’s break it down:

Beer: Julius
Brewery: Tree House Brewing Company
Style: IPA – American
ABV: 6.8%
IBU: 72
Untappd Write-Up: Bursting with pungent American hops, Julius – our flagship American IPA – is a bright, juicy beer filled with flavors and aromas of mango, peach, passionfruit, and a melange of citrus juice. A soft, pillowy mouthfeel and rounded bitterness ensure Julius will never tire the palate – a true joy to drink!

Bursting with pungent hop – is the perfect way to describe this when you crack the can open. Its like opening a bag of hops and taking a big whiff. This is just a powerful punch of hops right up your nose, like Mike Tyson put on hop gloves and has his way with your face. You get notes of mango, peach, citrus, orange rind, and a bit of pine (very subtle). Theres a zestyness to this that helps pack that punch as well. Though I’ve never picked up passionfruit from this despite the description.

Appearance is a beautiful orange. Hazy, unfiltered, dank, cloudy, murky, with a great retaining head. It leaves a wonderful lacing on the glass as you gulp and quaff and drink this one down – and by that, I mean, you’ll be drinking this down faster than you intend to. Its too beautiful, its too aromatic and inviting and smells so good, and more importantly – its too tasty!

Drinking this, I feel like it comes at you in waves. First sip – overall hop blast. Second sip, mellow mango, third sip fruity peach, fourth sip all kinds of citrus notes and zesty tastings that lead into the fifth sip that offers a bit of pine and hop bitterness, and then wraps it all back up as you then drink it more steadily. You get all that unfiltered, hazy, dank, joy mixing together, tasting amazing. You get the hop notes, the mango, the peach, the citrus, the zest, all powerful playing out as you drink. The melody of notes plays like a fine orchestra piece across your palate and is just simply amazing.

My Current Untappd Rating: ****.75
My Original Untappd Rating: *****
Global Untappd Rating: 4.51 (as of 1.31.20)

So the next up, and final Tree House (for now) will be Doppelganger. I’ve started that article and just need to edit / link it up / finish it and will probably do so in the next few days. I do have a whole host of beers to review yet; This Is The Way by Broken Goblet, Pink Hippo by Boneshire Brew Works, their latest stout for the 717 R&D, Revision’s beer I had at Pizza Boy, some of the Liquid Noise beers, and a whole host of other’s I’ve had in January.

I just sent a beer package this morning, and will be receiving some cans from California. All small local breweries from the Eureka area. So who knows what I’ll get, but I’ll do some reviews of them then as well.

Hopefully your January didn’t feel like a year already. February is shaping up to be a fun month here at The Beer Thrillers. We got the Tattered Flag / Breweries in PA beer / bottle share on the 8th, and much more. So be on the lookout and keep checking in regularly!

Cheers y’all!

Version 2.0 of AuZealand hit the taps about a week ago, and just like its predecessor, has quickly become a fan favorite at Boneshire. For good reason too, this is a delicious, smooth, lovely bordering on New England style IPA.

AuZealand, the original, now listed as AuZealand 1.0 was very well received. The original hewed much closer to a Western (regular / typical / original) Coast (or West Coast) Style IPA. The new AuZealand is much closer to a New England Style IPA.

There’s a few other differences between the two recipes. The hops involved are different. Both use Pacific hops, but just different ones. AuZealand 1.0 uses New Zealand Pacific Gem and Australian Galaxy Hops. AuZealand 2.0 uses New Zealand Wai-iti and Australian Summer Hops. AuZealand 2.0 also has lactose, whereas 1.0 does not (which gives it the near-NE style quality, over its predecessor). The ABV has also dropped a bit, where AuZealand 1.0 was a 7.1% the second version is a 6.3%. Neither has an IBU listing.

It has been a little while since I’ve had the original AuZealand, June 18th 2018 to be exact. So it would be neat in the future maybe to see both versions on tap and get to try a side-by-side to see which I ultimately like better. I do recall liking the original very much and gave it a solid ****.50 on Untappd. It currently has a global 3.81 as of 9.23.19 (but, as I look down at some recent check-ins for AuZealand 1.0, they are clearly meant to be AuZealand 2.0, and people are just checking in the wrong beer, so take this all for what its worth.)

Time to break down AuZealand 2.0 and discuss this delicious brew.

Beer: AuZealand (2.0)
Brewery: Boneshire Brew Works
Style: IPA – American
ABV: 6.3%
IBU: No IBU Listed
Untappd Write-Up: IPA brewed with New Zealand Wai-iti and Australian Summer Hops. We also added lactose to this batch.

So, this was the second beer I had when I was supposed to be out running errands Friday. Needless to say the errands got pushed back til after the girls got out of school, because after the Belgian Quad – They Burn Them All Away (which is 13%) and then this, I needed to take a break before getting them.

This was certainly a nice switch going from the 13% dark and heavy Belgian Quad. This was a nice, smooth, easy drinking lactose laced 6.3% IPA. Made for a very nice transition and palate changer.

While me, D.Scott and Shawn (bartender and former owner of Nomad BBQ) discussed politics, sports, BBQ, the casino business, everyday life, beer, and just about everything else, we sat and we drank, (and didn’t know things… thank god for Google), but ultimately, we drank and we talked.

Starting off with the appearance, this has a nice NE-IPA looking orange hue. Not quite pure orange juice look, but definitely more on the NE-IPA spectrum than a West Coast IPA (WC-IPA I guess?) would look. A glowy orange straw color. There was a nice foamed head to it that while not large was pillowy, soft, with large and small bubbles.

Moving on to aroma and it is a lovely smell as soon as its sat in front of you. Hop forward you can smell the distinct New Zealand / Pacific hops. The New Zealand / Australian (and even South African) hops just have a very distinct smell. Not as familiar with the Australian Summer Hops and the New Zealand Wai-iti hops as I am some other Pacific hops, but they definitely have a distinct smell and it is lovely. I am much more familiar with the Galaxy hops and others used in the previous batch. For some information on these new hop varieties, you can check them here: Australian Summer Hops and Wai-iti Hops. Both links direct you to hopslist (a site that gives reviews, and information about all of the various varieties of hops). There is a very heavy peach, passionfruit, a citrusy backbone to these hops in the new AuZealand. Looking it up, this comes primarily from the Summer Hops which I think dominate over the Wai-iti hops (or at least to my nose they do). It works well with the style and definitely with the lactose. Giving it a smooth look, a smooth clear peach and fruit heavy aroma, and a smooth and crisp taste.

The flavor is exactly what you are hoping for, and exactly what its appearance and aroma dictates that it should be. Its a clean, smooth, juicy IPA. Its delicious, its clean, its an entirely fun beer to drink. There is a wide range of flavors and notes you get from the New Zealand / Australian hops. Its fruity and possibly one could describe it as ‘milkshake – esque’ but not really. Its got some qualities of that with the peach and passionfruit notes taking front and center stage, and with the lactose making it smooth and easy it gives it kind of a creamy quality that goes with some milkshake IPAs but this isn’t that heavy of it and doesn’t fully lend to that. I have to assume the lactose is in a small dosage here (in the recipe) and it works for this, making it smooth, adding to the peach and passionfruit and not detracting from the beer at all.

All in all, its just a wonderful, tasty, delicious IPA that I would highly recommend anyone looking for a nice, clean, smooth, IPA to sit and enjoy. Could easily drink one or a four pack of these beauties.

My Untappd Rating: ****.25
Global Untappd Rating: 3.91 (as of 9.23.19)

I got to go to the Lititz Brewfest yesterday (Sunday, September 22nd) so look for a review on here (and most likely Breweries in PA as well). That should be done sometime this week. Also, I am most likely stopping at Ever Grain tomorrow after work, as I need to pick up that new pastry stout for a girl at work, and will probably do a flight while there (can’t NOT do a flight or at least one beer, at a brewery whenever I stop). So look for that review then either tomorrow night or the next day.

Keep drinking and keep commenting people, always love to hear from you all!
