Caldera Brewing Company - Ashland, Oregon

It's been a bit since I've written anything but it would be a tragedy NOT to write about this beautiful beer. My friend Brandi gave me a pint bottle of Caldera Brewing Company's Hopportunity Knocks IPA. They call it their "Caldera Kettle Series - Small Batch Release". It weighs in at 6.8% ABV. The label says it uses "a @#! of Centennial hops" and I believe it. It has a big round mouth feel and it is very perfumey (their word not mine).

This is only the 3rd brew I've requested a recipe for. I don't know what the response will be but it doesn't matter because I will be looking for and drinking this brew again and again and so should you.


A COUPLE HOURS LATER:
And now another reason to visit Caldera Brewing in Ashland. I got an almost immediate and nice reply including the recipe from Jim Mills of Caldera. I think I've changed my plans of a Citra IPA as my next brew and I'm going to see what I can do with this new recipe. Thank you Caldera Brewing and Jim Mills.

Any interest in sharing that recipe. I'm a huge Caldera fan - been homebrewing a few years now. Blonde Ale in the fermenter, Saison on tap.
