SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks), the National Hockey League’s reining Western Conference Champions, and San Jose local craft brewery Gordon Biersch announced today the debut of CHUM, new, dry-hopped red ale.
“Chum” is a collaborative effort between both Gordon Biersch and the San Jose Sharks. After several rounds of development and tasting, the exact level of dry hopping was fine-tuned. The color red and the name “Chum” were obvious based on the characteristics of ocean dwelling Sharks and their taste preferences. Chum has a malty 7.2% ABV and 42 bitterness units created by flavorful Hallertau and Tettnang hops.
