Not-So-Common Common: A Modern Twist on a Classic

Estimated to produce 5 gallons of finished beer with an ABV of 4.3% and IBUs of 38-43, this kit is perfect for homebrewers looking to try something new and exciting.
What is California Common?
California Common is a unique beer style that dates back to the days of the California Gold Rush. Brewers on the west coast incorporated caramel malts and additional hop character into their lager beers, helping to mask the effects of warmer fermentation due to a lack of available refrigeration. The resulting beer was a jack-of-all-trades: malty and full-bodied enough for a winter evening, but also hoppy and dry enough for the hottest California afternoon.
The Norcoe Blend: A Game-Changer for Homebrewers
At MoreBeer!, we're always looking for ways to innovate and improve our products. That's why we've created the Norcoe blend hops, a unique blend of Northern Brewer and Simcoe hops that adds a modern twist to the traditional California Common beer style. The result is a beer that's both familiar and excitingly new, with a hop profile that's at the same time common, and not Common at all!
