Slush Fund is a ‘freezer cleaner’ beer with the intention of using up some excessive hop inventory, particularly IPA-friendly new world varieties that I don’t use often in the saisons and Belgian ales I’m typically brewing. The name comes from today’s weather – the first warm day after some big dumps of snow.
