Batch #164 - Juniper Pale Ale


Beginning again to experiment with dried Juniper Berries as a bittering agent in addition to hops, this pale ale came out nicely.  Since the winning beer label from the "guest label contest" at the 2016 "Homebrewers Ball" (held in November to benefit Fat City Farmers and the "How We Grow" documentary film about our new young local farmers), was for a "frustrated farmer pale ale" label, designed by farmer Harper Kaufman, I asked her if she would like her prize to be a case of this juniper-infused pale ale, and she readily agreed.  A small reward for her monumental efforts to feed us!
