Grand Canyon Hop Bomber IPA w/Flavor Bomb Capsules In Every Bottle

image
A new innovative way to add flavor to your beer and it’s being packaged into bottles by Grand Canyon Brewing.  Flavor capsules allow Grand Canyon to infuse a burst of flavor into the bottle before it’s capped.  Think of it as an onboard Randall or a bottle dry-hopper…in any case it should be interesting to try.  Details from Phoenix Times:

This week's acclamation goes out to the Flavor Bomb, an invention from Grand Canyon Brewing Co. in Williams, Ariz. Sent to shelves in December, these tiny plastic vessels are made to be stuffed with additional ingredients -- wood chips, cocoa nibs, hops -- and added to a bottle of beer before capping. 

"With the Flavor Bomb, you can add new flavor profiles by packing it full of complimentary spices, woods and other flavorful ingredients," says John Peasley, Grand Canyon's owner. "Its thin, bullet-like design allows for easy insertion into beer bottles and its breathable holes let the flavors seep."

 

The Bombs take a brewing technique known as dry-hopping -- which involves adding ingredients (usually hops) to the beer while it's fermenting to augment its aroma -- and basically continue the process up until the moment you open the bottle. The longer the ingredient-packed pod is left in the bottle, brewers say, the more the beer's flavor will improve.
