Batch 3: KAMPALA SPECIAL

Inspiration

Sorghum Lagers of Uganda in East Africa

Technical Specs

ABV 5.7%  |  SRM 6  |  IBU 20

Brewer's Notes

Kampala Special is inspired by the ancient brews and modern lagers of East Africa, where sorghum is used as a fermentable. We worked with Nu Life Market in Western Kansas, who grows sorghum to be carbon negative to the environment. Combined with Pilsner malt from Admiral Maltings, it gives this beer a fuller body and smooth finish.


We fermented for a month at a superbly cold temperature, conditioned for a month, and carbonated naturally – all making for a wonderfully clean lager. Saaz hops were sourced from Elk Mountain Farms in Northern Idaho. These give balance and a slight spiciness, yielding a dry and crisp finish.
