”Well, Highway 19 runs right through the heart of Treasure Valley hop country so I thought it would be a good number,” says the brewer. “We didn’t want to create a bitter, 4% beer and I didn’t really want to call it a 4% IPA even though we back-loaded the hops to give this beer some nice hop flavor and aroma” Ricks adds. “We formulated TVA like we formulate all of our beers. We don’t start with a recipe guideline when we formulate bur rather try and create unique, flavorful beers that people will enjoy. If we can fit them into a category for competitions, great, but it isn’t a real high priority. So we’re calling this beer a refreshing, easy drinking 4% beer with a lot of local hop character, or just TVA.”
