Recipe may not use exact ingredients*4890* used by the brewery. If using pitchable liquid yeast, let the yeast warm up to 72 - 78 degrees F.

  • Construction Begins on Round Trip Brewing Company Brewery to Include Taproom, Brewhouse, Event Space, Packaging Hall and Outdoor Area
    Construction Begins on Round Trip Brewing Company Brewery to include taproom, brewhouse, event space, packaging hall and outdoor area 25 February 2020, Atlanta, GA: Round Trip Brewing Company is initiating the renovation build-out to transform their facility into Atlanta’s next great brewery. Located in the emerging brewery district in the Underwood Hills neighborhood in the Upper Westside of Atlanta, the brewery consists of two stories totaling 26,000 sq. ft. of space in a building previously occupied by Zep. “Our vision at Round Trip Brewing Company is to welcome the community to enjoy world- class beer in a dynamic space that encourages exploration and camaraderie,” said Craig Mycoskie, CEO and Head Brewer at Round Trip. “We have dreamed of opening our own brewery for a long time but started this journey in earnest a couple years ago. To see our hard work start to take shape is truly rewarding.” The facility will include a taproom, brewhouse, event space, packaging hall, and an adaptable outdoor area. The taproom allows up to 250 guests to enjoy twelve beers on tap. Custom-made tables and benches built by Broken Fence Woodworking provide a comfortable communal environment for people to enjoy the beer. Round Trip selected companies with specific expertise and an intimate knowledge of the Atlanta beer industry to bring the vision of the brewery to life. Round Trip worked closely with Probrew to outfit a custom three-vessel 15-barrel brewhouse. Additionally, Round Trip has 30-barrel fermenters for double batches and 7- barrel tanks for one-off tap room creations.

  • 6C. Dunkles Bock Overall Impression: a Dark, Strong, Malty German Lager
    6C. Dunkles Bock Overall Impression: A dark, strong, malty German lager beer that emphasizes the malty-rich and somewhat toasty qualities of continental malts without being sweet in the finish. Aroma: Medium to medium-high bready-malty-rich aroma, often with moderate amounts of rich Maillard products and/or toasty overtones. Virtually no hop aroma. Some alcohol may be noticeable. Clean lager character, although the malts can provide a slight (low to none) dark fruit character, particularly in aged examples. Appearance: Light copper to brown color, often with attractive garnet highlights. Lagering should provide good clarity despite the dark color. Large, creamy, persistent, offwhite head. Flavor: Complex, rich maltiness is dominated by the toastyrich Maillard products. Some caramel notes may be present. Hop bitterness is generally only high enough to support the malt flavors, allowing a bit of sweetness to linger into the finish. Well-attenuated, not cloying. Clean fermentation profile, although the malt can provide a slight dark fruit character. No hop flavor. No roasted or burnt character. Mouthfeel: Medium to medium-full bodied. Moderate to moderately low carbonation. Some alcohol warmth may be found, but should never be hot. Smooth, without harshness or astringency. Comments: Decoction mashing and long boiling plays an important part of flavor development, as it enhances the caramel and Maillard flavor aspects of the malt. Any fruitiness is due to Munich and other specialty malts, not yeast-derived esters developed during fermentation. History: Originated in the Northern German city of Einbeck, which was a brewing center and popular exporter in the days of the Hanseatic League (14th to 17th century).

  • Brewers Association 2014 Beer Style Guidelines March 10, 2014
    Brewers Association 2014 Beer Style Guidelines March 10, 2014 Compiled for the Brewers Association by Charlie Papazian, copyright: 1993 through and including 2014. With Style Guideline Committee assistance and review by Paul Gatza, Chris Swersey, and suggestions from Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup judges. Since 1979 the Brewers Association has provided beer style descriptions as a reference for brewers and beer competition organizers. Much of the early work was based on the assistance and contributions of beer journalist Michael Jackson. The task of creating a realistic set of guidelines is always complex. The beer style guidelines developed by the Brewers Association use sources from the commercial brewing industry, beer analyses, and consultations with beer industry experts and knowledgeable beer enthusiasts as resources for information. The Brewers Association' beer style guidelines reflect, as much as possible, historical significance, authenticity or a high profile in the current commercial beer market. Often, the historical significance is not clear, or a new beer in a current market may be only a passing fad, and thus, quickly forgotten. For these reasons, the addition of a style or the modification of an existing one is not undertaken lightly and is the product of research, consultation and consideration of market actualities, and may take place over a period of time. Another factor considered is that current commercial examples do not always fit well into the historical record, and instead represent a modern version of the style. Our decision to include a particular historical beer style takes into consideration the style's brewing traditions and the need to preserve those traditions in today's market.
