pFriem Family Brewers Co-Founder and Brewmaster Josh Pfriem Talks Big IPA
95 Rating - Exceptional
We spoke with pFriem Family Brewers Co-Founder and Brewmaster Josh Pfriem about Big IPA.
BC: Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
This beer was a collaborative effort with the brewery management team.
BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
Big, punchy, tropical notes that drinks way easier than the ABV actually is.
BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
Just like most beers at pFriem, we just call them what they are.
BC: Is this your “desert island beer?”
Although this beer is fun, it is not my desert island beer.
BC: Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Seeing as this is our Big IPA, why not have two ten-word phrases? The first: Aromas of ripe guava, papaya, stone fruit, gooseberries and blackberries. The second: Powerful flavors of fresh berry jam, pineapple, tangerine and tropical punch.
BC: What's a good food pairing for this beer?
Pimento cheeseburger with a half-pound beef patty, house pimento cheese, red leaf lettuce, sweet onion, pickle chips, house aioli, potato bun and served with piping hot hand cut fries.
