Supercharger Pale Ale Recipe
in memory of Paul Wicksteed
“Panhead Supercharger American Style Pale Ale” is a commercial beer produced by Panhead Custom Ales (Upper Hut, New Zealand). Paul Wicksteed became close friends with the crew at Panhead. He even built controllers for the brewery. Mike and the team at Panhead Custom Ales provided this recipe to be used for the annual memorial brew day for Paul. This is a fantastic beer that many of us have brewed. Enjoy!
