Airyevil

An interesting collaboration between Nomad and Stone Brewing (California-U.S.A.). Brewing legend Mitch Steele helped us out to create a unique Rye IPA. Mitch's knowledge on IPAs and hop dosing in general is beyond awesome and we at Nomad are grateful to him for teaching us some of his secrets. Two American and Two Australian popular hops were added to the boil.  The image – Take the Stone classic Gargoyle logo, combined that with the spirit of the Nomad. Brewing an India Pale Ale, with a bit of a red Rye Evil edge.. and your Indian Gargoyle is born! The Name: AIR being all things NOMAD style and keeping within the Nomadic theme (air - planes), RYEfor the obvious ingredient - Red Rye style. Evil for all things Stone and the iconic gargoyle . The name came from initially thinking of the STONE arrival to Nomad. A true group effort in creating the name that involved the entire Nomad team, Mitch from Stone, Nick from Crafty and the Sessionable crew, Liam and Adrian..  Rye is known to deliver somewhat of a peppery spiciness to beers and is usually added at around 20% of the total grain bill to really come through, which is exactly what we did to benefit from Rye aromas and flavors. The hops come through big and resiny, West Coast Style! This collaboration will be one to be remembered for sure.
