“Fresh Hop Cold Caprese Pizza” is here, and we…are…AMPED!
MAMMMA MIAAAA! THAT’S A FRESH-A PIZZA!
Since our go-to refresher is our classic Italian Pilsner “COLD CAPRESE PIZZA”, and it is Fresh Hop Season, it only made sense to throw in some NUVO CGX Fresh Hop pellets and give this one a little razzle dazzle. What is NUVO CGX, you might ask? Well, traditionally fresh hops have to be used immediately after being picked or they need to be processed for pelletizing. Meaning the window to use fresh hops is VERY small! So @crosbyhops developed a new way of immediately freezing and then processing freshly picked hops to lock in that flavor and preserve it in order to extend the window of time to be able to use them! Ain’t technology great?!
Still the exact same base recipe, but with the addition of Sterling Fresh Hops in the Whirlpool and Dry Hop! Mashed with love and care, using only the finest @riverbendmalt Cumberland Pilsner and Chit, hopped up ever so vigorously on the hot side with Pacifica and Hallertauer Mittelfruh (and now Sterling NUVO CGX!). We ferment slow and gentle with our House Lager yeast, spund it for that 100% natural fizz, and sprinkle in some Tettnanger and Saphir (and now more Sterling NUVO CGX!) in the dry-hop finale before letting it lager peacefully for many moons.
Take your palate on a gondola ride through the essence of freshly-tossed Pinzza dough with an extra herbaceous and bright tinge this time around. Experience the romantic perfume of Wildflowers in the evening while sitting just a whisper away from someone peeling a Mandarin Orange. Immerse your senses with hints of Lemon Balm steeped in a cup of the most soothing White Tea and then go stand in a field of fresh-cut grass with that cup. Same great Caprese, but dialed up a few fresh-ass notches. It’s a true Chippy Boi™: a flavor journey that will re-fresh and delight the senses!
