It’s been a while since I’ve made a batch of homebrewed beer.  I like to do it, but I’ve been distracted by other things in life, so I haven’t done it for a long time.  Today, I fixed that.  I decided that I wanted to take some of the Cascade hops I have from my dad’s hop farm, and make a Northwest Pale Ale, something quite like the Deschutes’ Red Chair NWPA.

Recipe follows…
