Brewer: Richard Adamson from Sydney’s Young Henrys

What beer are you making for GABS?
We’re making a fruit and spice IPA that takes it’s cues from Campari. We’re working along the lines of a lot of bitter orange combining with big resinous, piney, fruity hops.

What’s it called?
The name is a work in progress.

Where did the inspiration come from?
There’s been a few bars making Campari & IPA spritzers which are delicious. We thought it would be fun to deconstruct Campari and have those flavours come through in a beer.
