This time we picked up “What even is a beer style?” from The Malt Miller.
Absolutely chuffed with this one. I’d fully recommend this as one to have on draught when the weather is getting better because you’re going to want to sit outside sweating your nads off crushing a few of these.

Here’s what the guys at The Malt Miller had to say about it –
“What even is a beer style?
This recipe will get you thinking how we define beers into categories as it breaks rules, uses techniques that you would or wouldn’t use on certain styles to deliver a hybrid beer that crosses a few styles.
By using Lutra as the yeast we get a clean ferment, at a temperature of 20c, so a fake lager basically that you could brew without temperature control (depending on time of year).
Including a high dose of oats delivers body and haze to the beer, not what you would expect in a lager, something more like a NEIPA.
Then hop dosing is more for aroma and flavour than bitterness, so towards the end of the boil and more on the dry hop, bringing European, New World and USA hops together to deliver a real dank sticky hoppy beer.
All in all the beer is crisp, refreshing, lots of body and really hoppy. So if we were to try and give it a beer style this could be classed as a Cold IPA, that wasn’t fermented cold, but that has the body and happiness of an IPA without the yeast esters, yeah ok its not so easy is it, its a bit like the love child of NEIPA/Kveik/Lager, but what we do know is its really bloody tasty to drink.
This recipe is perfect for those that want to brew a hoppy lager but don’t have temperature-controlled fermentation, and its also good for those that want to see the impact that not following the rules can have on your brew.”
