I am not a road rage kind of person but I do appreciate when the craft beer comes to me and I don’t have to drive from the 405 to the 10 to the 5 to the 91 to the 57 for a beer. Not that I won’t, mind you. So it is great to see that kegs from The Brewery at Abigaile are heading out of Hermosa Beach to the wider SoCal world.
The new California Craft Distributors will be handling the beer of brewmaster Brian Brewer and “for its distribution debut, The Brewery at Abigaile plans to offer something for every pallet and will start by bringing the following beers to the craft marketplace:
Amber Ale – A big Amber Ale with a satisfying caramel malt foundation. German Munich, along with British and Belgian Crystal malts all work together to add layers of sweet maltiness. Centennial and Liberty hops round out the palate. This beer is aged on a small amount of free-trade cocoa nibs to add a unique twist. 5.9% ABV, 26 IBUs
001 1st Anniversary DIPA – A hop lover’s dream, focused on hops. It starts with Magnum, Centennial, and Simcoe in the 120 minute boil, Simcoe, Centennial and Citra for the flavor and aroma hops, and is then dry-hopped two separate times with Simcoe, Centennial, Citra, Columbus, and Australian Galaxy. The finished hop profile is a mix of juicy, floral, citrus, peachy stone fruit, pine forest, and resin. 9.001% ABV, 100 IBUs
