Our second fast growing spot is Humble Sea Brewing Company out of Santa Cruz. I have only had a pair of beers that they collaborated on, so that makes one full Humble beer, I guess. Here are the beers from their website that struck my fancy…
Le Jetski – Hoppy Saison
“That’s French for Jetski. Here’s a light, dry and refreshing body paired with Nelson Sauvin and Lemon Drop hops which provide a bite of lemon and grape. Dry hopped for enhanced pleasure. This saison will get you feeling freer than a jetskiingFrenchman on holiday.”
Le Farmers Tan – Harvest Saison
“Light refreshing saison with Pilsner and wheat malts. Mild bitterness from hops grown in the Santa Cruz Mountains including Sorachi Ace, Spalt Select, andSaaz.”
Sauvin Problems – Nelson Sauvin Single hop pale ale
“This simple pale ale is our answer to the Nelson question. Conflicting notes of diesel and white wine, cat pee and passion fruit, burnt rubber and gooseberries. Nelson is one of the most talked about hops in the industry.”
Cut & Run – West Coast IPA
“A refreshing IPA hopped with Citra, Centennial, Simcoe and Chinook. Grapefruit upfront, accompanied by a layered, citrusy aroma. Crisp maltiness. At nearly 7% ABV, it might be just enough to help you forget the difficult decisions you’ve had to make along the way.”
