Some brewers innovate, some replicate.
This beer is a “tip of the cap” to an Eastern Ohio brewery making a certain IPA the owners of Little Miami Brewing Company really liked. So, the brewers here have reverse-engineered this beer and made a clone of this fan favorite.
Using Simcoe, Citra, and CTZ Hops, I think we nailed it. The Grain bill utilized Pale Ale Malt and Malted White Wheat to dial in the body and mouthfeel of this IPA. Misty Mountain Hop IPA is named in honor of the legendary song and similar sounding beer name of an un-named brewery. Cheers!
