Springdale’s own Saddelbock Brewery hosted a recipe competition on February 2nd (Groundhogs Day) to determine the breweries recipe for their new IPA offering. Proceeds from the contest’s $3.00 entry fee were donated to the Single Parent Scholarship fund.
Eleven FLOPS brewers went head-to -head at US Pizza and Saddelbock’s owner, Steve Rehbock, declared a clear winner and felt that the winning recipe work work pretty much as is. Steve was planning for a small group of FLOPS members to get together for a panel tasting to confirm and discuss conformity to style Guidelines.
Congratulations to Tim Keltner and his Citra Hopped IPA. He received 88 more points than 2nd place finisher Tony Canova’s entry. Helen Ames ( on her first brew ever!) and Ken Gillespie rounded off the top four.
Saddelbock is currently brewing pilot batches and is eager to get the new offering on tap- and at a retailer near you!
When the soon to be named IPA goes into production a portion of the proceeds will be donated to FLOPS general fund.
