Portland Hotel Dan's Debut

The answer’s in the question here, with the latest seasonal to hit the taps at Melbourne’s Portland Hotel the first ever commercially released brew from new head brewer Dan Dainton. A self-confessed hop fiend, Dan’s conjured up a hoppy IPA sure to find favour in the current lupulin-loving climate. “It’s a well bittered and well hopped IPA,” he says, “but not over the top and very sessionable. It uses a hatrick of flavour and aroma hops: fresh Simcoe and Centennial from the states and Australia’s own Galaxy as well.” There’s a hefty malt backbone to keep everything in place too – go check it for yourselves to see how well the new boy’s done!
