Newport Storm - FoRIster- A Beer For Bobby Forster | Newport Craft Brewing Co.
ABV: 8.4%
IBU: 66
Style: IPA - Imperial / Double
Out of Production
Description: This collaboration beer, a first for their barrel aging program, was inspired by, and brewed for Newporter Bobby Forster. A former employee of Newport Storm, Bobby was diagnosed with A.L.S. in December of 2014. Newport Storm is no stranger when it comes to brewing IPAs, but barrel aging a double IPA can be a tricky task. The addition of Cascade, Citra (Bobby’s favorite) and Motueka hops after aging were key in crafting a brew that boasts of orange, grapefruit and nectar fruits. Canada pale malt and malted wheat give foRIster a golden hue and 3 months of barrel aging leaves a slight oak finish on the palate. A part of the proceeds from the sale of this beer will go to funding Bobby’s journey.
