They were originally developed in the German Hop Institute and are now widely used. Recommended for strong ales, IPA's, and pales. Best experianced with our Salmon Fish & Chips.	4 Blue Bridge Dry Hopped with Northern Brewer Hops ' Location: Taproom Blue Bridge has a strong malt profile despite it's pale appearance. Northern Brewer hops help accent this by adding a pungent aroma to warn you what's to follow with the Blue Bridge bite: it will sneak up on you. Northern Brewers hops were developed in England and are now cultivated in many countries. Best experianced with our Ciopin feature.	5 Abbot Bitter Dry Hopped with Fuggle Hops ' Location: Taproom A true English dry hopped ale. Fuggles are widely used in England for Bitter and Pale Ales. They aren't common in North America as you just don't find many Bitter style ales on this side of the Atlantic. Best experianced with our Halibut Fish and Chips.	6 Spinnakers Ale Dry Hopped with Chinook Hops ' Location: Taproom Looking to give our unfiltered plae ale a good kick, we've added high alpha acid hops. Chinook hops carry a prominant herbal, almost smokey, character that carries through the initial flavour. Making the taste more subtle as you settel into your pint. Best experianced with our Salmon Fettucini.	7 Mitchell's ESB Dry Hopped with Northern Brewers Hops ' Location: Taproom This beer is a beautiful twist on the traditional bitter style ale. Dry hopping with a higher alpha acid hop adds a stronger citrus flavour and a more apparent floral aroma. An ESB is usually known for its malt character but we've made this one a little more BC-esque. Best experianced with our Salmon Fish and Chips.	8
