obCraft - Turning Ideas into Beer
MobCraft Beer is a crowdsourced brewery (and they’re expanding!).
It means the ideas for beers come from the people. It’s beer for the
people, by the people! Hop Gose the Grapefruit was the winner of the April 2014
monthly voting round. The idea that was submitted was:“I put salt on my grape-
fruit for breakfast—turn that into a beer.”
The crowd called for Hop Gose the Grapefruit to be brewed again, so Mob-
Craft brought it back as a summer seasonal beer. Hop Gose is a perfect warm-
weather beer. The red wheat adds ample body to a beer that’s not thick and vis-
cous, but still makes you taste the beer. There is a slight hop bitterness that pairs
well with the sweetness of the grapefruit. A dash of sea salt, and slight acidity
from the citrus, rounds off the beer, leaving your mouth very satisfied.
