New York City-based rock act Bayside is collaborating with Oskar Blues to release Bayside Black IPA, to be released August 19. According to the wonderfully named Juice Drapeau, head brewer at Oskar Blues Brewery in Lyons, “The challenges of creating a Black IPA is that when creating a recipe one has to be very careful to balance the hop bitterness and malt bitterness. Dark malts can have astringent characteristics to them so the key is to really achieve a clean hop bitterness to compliment the potential malt bitterness. Also, another important aspect of Black IPA’s is to layer a variety of crystal malts and dark malts so that the malt character in the beer has lots of depth and complexity.”
