Sounded like a fantasy camp for home brewers.

From what I understand, each year SN takes recipes from home brewers and puts out the best of the bunch in sampler 12 packs. It's a pretty cool way to try some different beers that you might not normally buy. |

I find myself developing a fondness for these double IPA's. Longtrail is quite good on tap if you can find it. Had the beer camp box for a grad party a couple weeks back. Very good mix.

Usually it means twice the malt which translates into more alcohol, most are 8-9 percent. Given it's an IPA usually a lot of hops to balance it all out.

You need to ask the brewer....or the Marketing Department for their reasoning for the name.
Some will say its because of Double the Malt, others will say its Double the Hops.
Then you run into the "OK why is it called Double and Not Imperial"...thats the question for the Marketing Guys  |
