New at Teddy Roe's & M'tucci's

There have been some delicious collaborations between Steel Bender Brewyard and M’tucci’s, including Pairing Dinners and brewing projects. The newest project is rolling out now and might be one of the best yet.

The new Teddy Roe’s IPA is ready and should be at all locations this weekend. It will be on tap at the restaurants and in 16 oz. cans at Teddy Roe’s. The brewers and owners at Steel Bender, along with the Chefs and Partners weighed in on the style they thought would excite our New Mexico guests. The new IPA was served at our holiday party and was an immediate hit.

“We're so excited about this beer, about everything we do with the M'tucci's/Teddy Roe's family! We're an IPA state, M'tucci's customer data aligned with that, so all partners met in December at Steel Bender and hammered out what would be the next iteration of Teddy Roe's POLICY beer. There's nothing more rewarding and invigorating than working with other local businesses that thrive on creative energy. To develop a product that we're all gonna be excited for our guests to enjoy because we've been thoughtful and purposeful and committed to quality making something cool...while having a blast doing it together. I mean, we get to make beer! And a beer that's going to be enjoyed in the cool ambience of Teddy Roe's, a beer alongside authentic, deliciously crafted food,” said Shelby Chant, SBB co-owner.

“I remember watching Monica and Tom (our Head Brewer at the time) and could see the wheels turning as the M’tucci’s and Teddy’s teams were spitballing about what flavor profile they wanted in an IPA...they were sitting next to each other and quietly developing the recipe on the fly…pretty cool to watch. Not one of us can deny that, while it's still work, hard work, we get a rush out of this kind of collaboration,” she said.

From Ben Lenetsky - Head Brewer

“Juicy IPAs tend to have a soft mouth feel with minor bitterness and in particular the Teddy Roe's Policy IPA fits this bill. The hops in this beer impart distinct fruit flavors and aromas, while giving a more traditional pale ale bitterness. The term "crushable" suits the Policy IPA as it should be approachable and easy drinking while maintaining a soft bitterness similar to that of a simple pale ale. Policy IPA should satiate the hop heads while also being drinkable for those ambivalent to heavily hopped beers.”

From Monica Mondragon - Brewery Production Manager

“The Teddy Roe’s/M’tucci’s group agreed they wanted to go with something hoppy, and we discussed other styles currently being made with dry hops, as one of M’tucci’s people was back from vacation and experienced some of these styles. Everyone wanted to go with an IPA, but not the traditional NM IPA (very high IBU with a really bitter finish).  A Juicy IPA was the 1st thing that came to mind using Yakima Chief cryo hops (concentrated lupulin) as they provide larger quantities of alpha acids and oils without the flavor being astringent or vegetative.”
