Galaxy Drive-In, an OK IPA
$ 65.00
OK as in Oklahoma! Yeah, I made up a style and called it the OK IPA: a twist (eh!?) on the New England IPA. Like it's northeastern cousin, the OK IPA is hazy and tropical and all that, but it stands out with milder hop additions (almost all Galaxy) and a touch of Galaxy's sibling Ella late in the boil to add some noble, earthy character. Plus, I used flaked rye (apparently Oklahoma is the leading producer of rye in the US) in place of flaked oats for some different character!
Why did I, a random dude in Maine, make an Oklahoma IPA? Because that's where the film "Twister" takes place AND we see "The Shining" at the Galaxy Drive-In in the movie. Plus, I spent a week in Oklahoma one day and I feel like I get the state's vibe.
