Olde Mother Brewing Co. Head Brewer Jake Beamer Talks Dire Wolf

We spoke with Olde Mother Brewing Co. Head Brewer Jake Beamer about Dire Wolf.

BC: Where does this beer's name come from?
I sometimes nerd out over Pleistocene Megafauna. We've made other beers named after them too, like Megalonyx and Glyptodon. So it just made sense to do one named after a Dire Wolf, and it's been one of our most popular IPAs.

BC: What's a good food pairing for this beer?
DIPAs go amazing with Mexican food. For Dire Wolf I'd go with chorizo tacos with onion, cilantro and lime.

BC: Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Citra hops. Basically, that's it. Is that less than ten?

BC: Is this your "desert island beer"
If I'm only having one beer on the island it's probably a pilsner or saison. So no, but Dire Wolf would be in my top 10.
