Fortified by extra hops and alcohol to withstand the journey by ship from England, India Pale Ales were some of the first to explore the flavor and aroma of hops over malt. Imperial IPA's are typically brewed with significant amounts of hops to showcase hop bitterness, flavor, and aroma. Ten Ninety Imperial IPA explores resinous hops and rich barley in perfect harmony. Three bold hop varieties lend grapefruit, orange, pine, and pepper flavors that are steadied by a firm backbone of rich malted barley with deep chestnut and toffee aspects.
A robust and flavorful IPA with substantial, layered kettle hop additions of Summit, Chinook, Columbus, Centennial and Millenium, as well as a dry-hopping addition of Centennial and Chinook. Ten Ninety IPA should be enjoyed as soon as possible to fully appreciate its extra measure of hop aroma and flavor.
The monastic breweries of Belgium created Tripel as a balanced and powerful alternative to the pale lagers of Eastern Europe. Traditional Tripels are fortified with Belgian candi sugar or invert sugar syrup. Ten Ninety Jaggery Tripel is Belgian perfection. Instead of Belgian candi or corn sugar, we accent our Tripel with jaggery palm sugar, a traditional ingredient in sweet and savory dishes of India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Jaggery sugar provides a hint of molasses and mellow tanginess while lively carbonation and firm hop bitterness create a balanced Belgian experience.
Witbier is a Belgian style ale that is typically pale and cloudy due to a high concentration of wheat and barley protein. Traditionally spiced with coriander and Curaçao orange peel, witbiers are light, refreshing, and complex. Ten Ninety Imperial Wit is highly versatile and compelling. Our Imperial Wit has a body and alcohol level typical of many table wines, with a drying acidity, lighter body, and notes of orange peel and coriander. Lighter seafood and cheese perfectly complement the tart fullness of Ten Ninety Imperial Witbier.
Created in 18th century London, porters were some of the first mass-produced and consumed beers of the industrial revolution. Porter evolved from a blend of brown and darker beers that were precursors to stouts. Tradition has it that these beers were favored by porters and other physical laborers. Ten Ninety Imperial Porter is fiery elegance. Our porter is brewed with ample Munich, mild brown and de-bittered black malts for a chocolaty, espresso base. To contrast this bittersweet backbone, we added an ample dose of cayenne pepper, and tempered this heat with tart pomegranate juice.
