Why Not is a double IPA brewed with 20% UK rye malt. We added piney hops Simcoe and Chinook in the whirlpool which marry with the spiciness of the rye. For a more tropical touch, we dry hopped with Moteuka, Galaxy, and Cryo Simcoe to bring the hops bursting into the foreground. But there is no hiding the rye here as the beer has a copper/amber appearance, and coming in at 8.1% ABV it has a full body and big finish. Why Not will remind you of an old school Rye DIPA with an upgrade to today’s hazy/double dry-hopped expectations.
Hailing from Stavanger, Norway Lervig are a force in the world of Craft beer. Created after the townspeople revolted against the mass brewery attempted to sell them substandard beer and buying back their old brewery.
