UNDIVIDED CT INDIA PALE ALE

An Open-Source Beer Project to Benefit The Connecticut Brewers Guild

Aspetuck Brew Lab is formulating, brewing and selling an India Pale Ale in January 2021 and will be donating a portion of sales (packaged product and on-premise draft) to the Connecticut Brewers Guild to help in its recovery from the COVID-19 shutdown. 


We are inviting all Connecticut breweries to join the effort, encouraging them to brew and sell their own version of UNDIVIDED and donate a portion of sales to the Guild. The Brew Lab has provided the base beer recipe (available below) and has designed a label template, available for download to participating breweries for customization. 


The brewing community in Connecticut is a strong one, and if we all stand undivided, we can recover from this tough year and position our industry for continued success and even greater progress.  


UNITED WE STAND. DIVIDED WE FALL.

THE DEETS

RECIPE

The following recipe serves as a guideline, open for interpretation. We call this beer a CT IPA simply because it is brewed in Connecticut, and you can take it in the direction of your choice (east coast, west coast, hazy, clear, etc.). Have fun with it! Adapt it to your brewing system and build your water profile as necessary. While we are primarily using three varieties of hops (Citra, Mosaic, Azacca), we encourage brewers to utilize a fourth variety of their choosing and vary their dry hop schedules. Beer drinkers will love having the opportunity to try so many different versions of the beer that comes out of this project.

The Label

We have designed a label template for 12oz and 16oz cans,  designed as #3 right off, on BOPP metalized film. The templates allow for each brewery to customize their version of the label with branding, brewery information and a barcode, while maintaining a consistent message for all participants. Use the printer you would like, but we are working with Fortis that has offered a fair price and quick turnaround. Their facility is based in Connecticut, so we are supporting local jobs. Upload files on a Monday and they will print within a week.
