7 Days of Darkness-Dark Beers at Radicle Effect
I talked with Glenn Cole about hops this week and the role in flavor they have. It s interesting how the growing environment has so much to do with flavor. But it s the reason there s such thing as a New England IPA vs a West Coast IPA.
But we should ve planned better because it s Radicle Effect s 7 Days of Darkness celebration. 7 Days. 7 Beers. From what I understand.the darkness comes from the malt. The more the grain is roasted the darker & more complex the pallet becomes.
I think. You should go to Radicle Effect Brewerks to find out for sure.

Tier 1 restrictions have opened up indoor dining which means that some bars in Illinois will open up indoor dining and some will offer live music. Do your friends a favor when they re promoting their show and like, comment & share to spread the word. For the musicians and for the small businesses that need your help.
