After long years of the beer community discussing hops to exhaustion,
yeast is finally getting a glimpse of the spotlight following what
seemed to be a lengthy Batman-like existence: outcast, living in the
shadows, not getting enough credit for his work. However, the
importance of fermentation is no news to Chad from Crooked Stave, a.k.a.
the king of Hipsters, who has been fondling with various fermenting
agents for longer than most people have been drinking. So it was that on
a beautiful – yet excruciatingly hungover – Wednesday Mr Yakobsen came
to Amager to bombard us simpletons with his knowledge on all things
yeasty, and especially, bretty. Due to stubbornness from our end, we
still insisted the brew carried a motherf#&@ of hops, despite
intents of a brett forward beer. The answer to what ingredient won the
battle lies within this bottle. But in our opinion, we are all winners.
