Get To Know: Bell's CBCBCBC Ale, a collaboration beer brewed with help from Crosby Hop Farms

Tasting Notes:  Pale Ale dry hopped five times, with stone fruit, dank, pungent hop notes This beer was brewed for the Crosby Hop Farms booth at the 2018 Craft Brewers Conference. The name is an acronym for Craft Brewers Conference Bell's Crosby Collaboration Beer, but CBCBCBC is the official name. Utilizing a popular technique of multiple dry hops, we looked to drive complex and layered hop aromatics in a delicately malty Pale Ale. CBCBCBC Ale contains 100% Crosby Farms Oregon grown hops. In addition to the pelletized hops, we used Crosby's HopHash as part of the overall hop profile. HopHash is highly concentrated with the aromatic oils and and bittering components of hops without as much leafy green material as found in standard hop pellets. CBCBCBC clocks in at a 5.6% ABV and can be enjoyed at the Eccentric Cafe in addition to this year's Conference in Nashville. Check to see if it's on tap at the Cafe with our tap cam. And it's fun to say. Try it! It's all about the rhythm.

Get to know: Bell's dry-hopped lager, HopfenDunkel

Tasting Notes:  Dry-hopped lager with herbal, noble hop character and a slight caramel sweetness. HopfenDunkel, a dry hopped lager, translates literally to "hop dark" in German. We are utilizing our European style lager recipe while using European hops for the kettle and dry hop, hence the German play on words for the name.  The copper-colored beer has a 5% ABV, medium bitterness and an herbal, green tea like hop character. The slight sweetness  of the malt and herbal, noble character play well of each other in the finished beer.  Check out our beer finder to find HopfenDunkel near you, or check to see if it's on tap at the Eccentric Cafe with our tap cam.
