Knee Deep Brewing Brewmaster Dean Roberts Talks Lupulin River
We spoke with Knee Deep Brewing Co. brewmaster Dean Roberts about Lupulin River.
BC: Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
Lupulin River was an early collaboration beer we made first for Sacramento Beer Week. We tweaked and altered the recipe over time to create what is now the Lupulin River that everyone knows and loves.
BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
Lupulin River's hop balance of the Simcoe and Mosaic varietals is extraordinary.
BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
This Double IPA has very fruity characteristics, and we picked the name “Lupulin River” because Lupulin is the name of the gland in a hop cone that contains the oils and acids that give off this beer's powerful fruity flavor.
BC: Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Lupulin River is liquid gold with a fruity kick.
