New Zealand Brewer Creates Snow-Frozen Black IPA

From the NZHerald:

In a collaboration with Craftwork Brewery and the New Zealand Pink Boots Society, Miss Wolfgang has produced a frozen black India pale ale (IPA) to be featured at the Beervana Festival in Wellington this weekend.

After the black IPA had been brewed and fermented at Craftwork Brewery in Oamaru, Miss Wolfgang decided to "have a bit more fun" with it.

Instead of freezing the beer in a traditional way, she loaded the two fermenting tubs in the car with her snowboarding gear and drove to Ohau skifield, where she froze the beer in the snow.

"We left the beer in the snow and went snowboarding for the day," Miss Wolfgang said.

"We'd come back and check on it ... and waited for [the water] to freeze off."
