Hop Cast

In Episode 51 Nick Campbell joins Hop Cast hosts Brad Chmielewski and Ken Hunnemeder for a couple exotic beers. Both beers they sample and review in episode 51 have some unusual ingredients you don’t usually see in beer. The first beer the three of them try is the ginger pale ale from Trade Route Brewing. Trade Route Brewing used be called Laughing Buddha, so if you have a bottle, it may say Trade Route or Laughing Buddha, don’t worry it’s the same beer. As you can guess from the name the ginger pale ale is brewed with ginger and it comes in with an ABV of 5.0%. They follow that up with the Sah’tea which is the latest bottle release from Dogfish Head. Both Brad and Ken were extremely excited to try this one and were happy it lived up to the hype. The Sah’tea is brewed with juniper berries foraged directly from the Finnish country-side and comes in at 9.0% ABV.

Shawn, the only problem with the DFH Sah'tea is the price tag. Although, I will say it's worth every penny but I can't afford to drink it as much as I'd like.
