Lonerider showcasing Magnificent 77 at Applebee’s National Taste The Change Event

July 20, 2015 - PRLog -- Lonerider Brewing Company is showcasing its Magnificent 77, The First Beer In The World with 77 hops during Applebee’s National Taste The Change event in the home market of Raleigh/Durham/CH.

The "Magnificent 77" is an IPA crafted with 77 hop varieties to create a one of a kind hop character. Featuring hops from 7 countries (US, UK, AU, NZ, Ger, Czech, Slovenia), different varieties are blended together to create a unique flavor for each of the 7 hop additions during the 77-minute boil. After fermentation, it is dry hopped by adding a different variety each day for 7 days, followed by 14 more varieties for an additional 7 days. Coming in at 7.7% ABV with 77 IBU’s, it's a drinkable and flavorful IPA.

“Obtaining and making a meaningful beer out of these many hop varieties is not an easy task. I am proud of our brewing team, Galen, David, and Joseph for making a fantastic 77 hop IPA,” says Sumit Vohra, CEO & Chief Drinking Officer of Lonerider Brewing Company. He adds, “…being able to showcase Magnificent 77 with Applebee’s National Taste The Change Event is a great opportunity for Lonerider.”
