Motorworks Brewing Lead Brewer Jose Martinez Talks Pulp Friction

We spoke with Motorworks Brewing Lead Brewer Jose Martinez about Pulp Friction.

BC: Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
Bob Haa (Head Brewer) & I did.

BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
Its popularity with our customers!

BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
The name is a play on the locally-sourced grapefruit oil we use, plus it’s a nod to one of our favorite movies. A tasty beverage perfect for washing down the tasty burger of your choice.

BC: Is this your “desert island beer?”
No; variety is the spice of life!

BC: Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Like cutting into a ripe, ruby-red grapefruit.

BC: Do you know a story – or have a personal story – that revolves around this beer?
(Bob Haa) I personally thought this beer was a little too heavy on the grapefruit aroma, so I wanted to dial it back a bit. That was quickly shot down by the other brewers and our customers; everyone loved that first brew and it has really taken off since.  

BC: What's a good food pairing for this beer?
Pulp Friction pairs perfectly with sharp, aged white-cheddar cheese.
