Big Casino
Big Casino is the flagship IPA of the Wool House brewpub and has been brewed since 2012. The brewery's own yeast strain and a blend of the brewers' favourite hops make it a very fruity, juicy and heavily hopped beer at 5.7 %. The name goes back to Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, who played a card game of that name together; Garrett took the trump hand 'Big Casino' as his nickname, the Kid 'Little Casino'. Like every Dancing Man beer it is unfined.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Big Casino
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
