Each year is significant for a small business, and over time trends are realized. Our eighth year had a lot in common with our first, moving into our new space and brewing uniquely Jersey beers on a “big system.” As we celebrated our first big year with SS 2012, we looked to the future with a grander tweak of our Boat Beer. At this point we lean into Bigger Boats as uniquely Jersey Double IPA. Our water and Kolsch yeast, over a generous wheat-addition, create the modern doubles that remember a quintessential New Jersey truth. Beauty is because of, not in spite of, things like a little bit of acidity, a little bitterness, a little saltiness and a little tension. SS 2019 asserts that perspective, this time adding Zythos and Ekuanot to layer notes of pineapple and lime on Boat’s bitter citrus hop bill. Drink SS 2019 because you don’t turn 8 every year.
