Broo Doo is brewed each fall during the hop harvest using a portion of wet hops — unkilned, freshly picked cones — sourced from Howe Farms in Crown Point, Indiana. Because wet hops must be used within hours of harvest to preserve their volatile oils, each batch captures seasonal aromatics that dried hops simply cannot replicate, giving the beer a character that shifts subtly from year to year.Tasting NotesAroma: Intensely dank and floral hop character opens the nose, followed by layers of tropical fruit, spice, and resinous pine sap. A subtle nuttiness from the malt rounds out the bouquet.Taste: The entry delivers a burst of big citrus and juicy tropical fruit, quickly joined by spicy hop accents at mid-palate. A biscuity, toffee-like malt backbone provides balance, preventing the 82 IBUs from overwhelming the palate, while glazed nut sweetness adds depth through the peak.Finish: Moderately long with a firm, resinous hop snap that lingers alongside pine and dried floral notes. The malt recedes cleanly, leaving a dry, slightly spicy close that invites the next sip.How to Drink Broo DooPour Broo Doo into a tulip glass or IPA glass at 45–50°F to let the volatile wet hop aromatics open fully; drinking straight from the can mutes the nuanced floral and tropical character that defines this beer. It pairs well with bold food rather than cocktail mixing — think of it as a standalone seasonal experience meant to showcase the harvest.Best For
