Homebrew Recipe - Spellbinder Hazy IPA by Wren House Brewing, Phoenix AZ

I was surprised to see this one published since it won Gold for Hazy IPA in 2020 but here it is. Surprisingly, it's a pretty simple hop bill.

From Beer & Brewing Magazine:

When some of the team from Wren House Brewing gathered to watch the virtual Great American Beer Festival awards ceremony last October (2020), they weren’t on the edge of their seats for the last category—Juicy/Hazy IPA—to be announced. That was the most-entered style at the competition, with 377 beers vying for just three medals.

The Wren House team was beginning to accept that they hadn’t medaled in any category at GABF when the Brewers Association announced the final medal of the night: “The gold medal for Juicy/Hazy IPA goes to Spellbinder, from Wren House Brewing Company, Phoenix, Arizona.”

“Drew punched me, like, 10 times when it happened. Preston cried a little. We hugged,” says Luke Wortendyke, Wren House’s director of brewing operations, referring to cofounder Drew Pool and head brewer Preston Thoeny.

That coveted win cemented what Phoenix beer drinkers and fans nationwide already knew: Wren House is making some of the best hazy IPAs in the country. That’s in addition to their renowned barrel-aged stouts and barleywines, plus a diverse taproom lineup that might include, on any given day, an English pub ale, Czech-style lager, and a fruited sour.
