90 Shilling Clone from The Brew Hut. To my friends, "Olde Teabagger"
This is my second beer in Colorado. I call it Teabagger because of how the hops bags look when they come out of the wort. The recipe is not mine, I purchased this from The Brew Hut in Aurora, CO. They're good people there, you should check them out.
