Mammoth Seasonal In Bottles - 22 FZ
Ale, Pale, Devils Post, 2012 Seasonal Release
Approximately 100,000 years ago, a basaltic lava flow nearly 400 feet deep filled the upper reaches of the middle fork of the San Joaquin River, just west of present-day Mammoth Mountain in the high Central Sierra. Because of its great thickness, this pooled lava cooled slowly and evenly, producing 3- to 7-sided columns with an average diameter of 2 feet. Then, during the last ice age 10,000 years ago, glaciers more than 1,000 feet thick scoured the columns into the formations we see today. Originally included within Yosemite NP, Devils Woodpile (as it was known locally) was removed from the park's boundaries by the US Congress in 1905 under political pressure from mining and lumber lobbying interests. A proposal in 1910 to dynamite this unique geological formation to dam the San Joaquin sparked John Muir and other notable citizens and conservation groups to convince President William Howard Taft to designate Devils Postpile a National Monument on July 6, 1911. Originally brewed in 2011 to celebrate the 100 year anniversary as a National Monument, this double pale ale has become our summer seasonal release and is brewed with ESB, crystal & melanoidin malts and Centennial hops (of course!). Using superheated volcanic rocks in the tradition of an old-world brewing process to create a superboil, this Devils Postpale Ale exhibits a unique maltiness imparted through the carmelization of wort not easily attained with a regular brew kettle. Brewed and bottled at the highest elevation brewery on the west coast. When in Mammoth Lakes visit our tasting room, or visit us online. www.MammothBrewingCo.com. 70 IBU. 7.5% alc by vol.
