Impressed by the Star Wars authentic trilogy, the Pop Tradition Brews podcast crew set out on an intergalactic mission to create beer recipes impressed by episodes IV, V, and VI. See all three Star Wars-inspired beer recipes right here.
For the ultimate episode within the trilogy—Return of the Jedi (1983)—Pop Tradition Brews cohost Andrew Sanders crafted a pale ale recipe harking back to Endor, the forest planet dwelling to the furry and ferocious Ewoks.
Andrew needed Return of the Jedi Pale Ale to have extra piney and earthy hop notes to replicate the forest setting of the ultimate battle between the Rebels and the evil Empire. In consequence, Return of the Jedi Pale Ale makes use of the identical grist as A New Hope Pale Ale, however adjustments the dry hop additions to Simcoe and Chinook for a extra West Coast-style hop.
Trub, trub.
