It’s been quite a while since I did one of these posts. And I had this beer so long ago, I kind of forgot I wanted to post about it! But here we are!
Brewery: Hop Butcher for the World in Chicago, IL
Beer: Stealing Signs
Description: “Galaxy, Moutere & Simcoe-hopped Double India Pale Ale”
This is a New England Style IPA that is Hop Butcher’s main squeeze for the past ~2 years. It’s got a creamy mouthfeel and is hoppy without the bitterness.
Medium: I had it from a 16 oz can, which is about the only way you could get it. And in the Chicago beer scene, that means it didn’t last long.
How it’s related to baseball: It’s got a baseball on the logo. That’s about it! I think stealing signs has to do with the Moutere hop – they say they were really on top of finding that newer hop to play around with. And this is the beer they came up with. It’s a collaboration with Aslin Brewing from Virginia / DC Area.
