Halifax's own Propeller Brewing Company has collaborated with Port Williams' Sea Level Brewing for the first time to create a one-time release celebrating Nova Scotia's thriving craft brewing community and Nova Scotia's emerging hop industry. The project was born in 2009 when Propeller's President John Allen and Sea Level's Owner/Brewer Randy Lawrence joked around over a pint about creating a collaborative one-off beer. The two chuckled a bit over the idea but quickly shifted from a casual pint to the serious business of making this collaboration a reality. The liquid result from their session is ALPHA%DOG Wet Hopped Collaboration Ale. "We're really excited about this project - two local breweries coming together and using 100% local hops to create something really unique. It's a testament to what the craft brewing movement is all about" says Allen “And Randy is the wet hop beer expert in Nova Scotia” Lawrence has produced wet hop beers for over a decade in the province. This collaboration is not the first time the two have worked together: Lawrence was brewing for Propeller in the early 2000's and helped to develop Propeller Brewing Company's award winning London Style Porter. The copper coloured beer is brewed with 100% local Cascade and Willamette hops from Lazy Acres and Sea Level hop farms in the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia. These hops are harvested and shipped as “wet” un-dried hops to Propeller Brewery in Halifax where Sea Level brewer Randy Lawrence adds them to the brew kettle while their oils and resins are still at their peak.
