Unlike other heritage brands owned by foreign companies, Lagunitas will be back in 2023 with their Born Yesterday fresh hop ale. One of the few larger scale hop to brewery in under 24-hours IPA’s. As another break from the mold, the beer will be in 12oz cans.
Get ready for the imminent arrival of this years Born Yesterday – fresh hop pale from Lagunitas. For the hops fans, this one has “11lbs-per-barrel of Simcoe, Citra, Mosaic” hops.
It seems that IPA’s have well defined life cycles now. It starts with an IPA. That IPA then becomes unfiltered. (Case in point, see above). Then the IPA gets draft only special dry hops. Then it gets fruited.
I have been impressed with the Born Yesterday beers that I have had and I can’t wait for Lagunitas to open in Azusa but I fear that blood orange Born Yesterday is coming down the pike.
…or perhaps a better way to headline this post is Born Yesterday. A new beer coming from Lagunitas that will be hitting shelves soon and will only travel 24 hours from the source.
I was treated to this news while at the Beer Bloggers Conference. It will be around 6.2% and will have the now beloved Citra along with Mosaic and Willamette hops but the kicker is that the store will get it 24 hours after it is packaged. This will be a beer that you MUST check the dates on. Freshness will be key and I do not want to see reviews of stale Born Yesterday. Lagunitas already makes one of my all time favorite beer in Sucks and a new favorite in Mandaraison (which damn well better come back) so you can expect goodness here.
