Sometimes an oops will turn out great and we end up with a new beer such as the Bad Moon Risin’ from Boulder! An accidental addition of dark malts to their Mojo Risin’ Imperial IPA ended up giving them their one-off Double Black India Pale Ale. This Wednesday Ginger Hop will be tapping the last keg in Minnesota (possibly in the country!) of this beer that will never be able to be exactly reproduced again. They’re tapping it at 5pm! Yum!
