Gordon Biersch Creates World’s Rarest Beer: Hoppotamus Maximus

March 26, 2011 By Jay Brooks

gordon-biersch
I ran into Dan Gordon, from Gordon Biersch, at CBC yesterday and he told me about a new beer they’ve created, Hoppotamus Maximus, a hoppy and oh-so-rare beer that few people — unfortunately — will ever get a chance to sample. He’s teamed with Justin Crossly of The Brewing Network to tell the story of how he created the beer. It’s a pretty funny spoof of the hype surrounding hard-to-find beers, and the humor is as dry as I expect the beer would be.

    I hope BrewDog doesn’t follow this blog or they’ll be off on a new mission.

    LMAO – nice to see that one of the “formula” chains has an exec with a sense of humor!

    Next? – a brew “wet-hopped” w/sun-created “tea” (water added to a jar loosely filled w/dried buds or pellets & left in the sun for a day) – I want a “finder’s fee” for thinking of it :)!
