After past brewing experience at New York City’s LIC Beer Project, Sixpoint, and TALEA Beer, Johnny Osborne launched his Deep Fried Beers start-up out of Alewife Brewing, based in Queens, and has been expanding his production out of other breweries in New York.
Deep Fried specializes in big, juicy, textured double and triple hazy IPAs that pack in hop flavor. Here’s a homebrew-scale recipe for Trestlemania, his collab with 3 Sons Brewing of Dania Beach, Florida, featuring multiple wheats, multiple oats, and more than 10 pounds of hops per barrel.
