We decided, over many great Christmas beers, to brew a clone of Firestone Walker’s Union Jack. We call ours Right to Work Jack.
No Citra boxed us out of an IPA like the ones I had during my visits to Russian River and Lagunitas the week before. We both like the UJ a lot so it was a natural choice.
We did have a hard time getting Cascade so we used Ahtanum which we had in one of Boston Brewing’s single hop Latitude 48 beers.
We hit our numbers and all went well. Looking forward to trying this hoppy beer. I think we bought two pounds of hops for ten gallons of this one. We even decocted this one to have a two step mash.
