The folks at El Segundo have ticked off another bucket list collaboration partner (at least in my mind) with their latest DIPA with Pizza Port.
Day One is November 3rd and the brewery taproom will have special beers going or you can find bottled that day bottles to-go at reputable craft beer stores.
Sierra Nevada does more collaborations in a year than most breweries do in five and they have another on in the pipeline. This time with the famed German brewery, Weihenstephaner. Looks to me that this might be a beer style that is tweaked.
Chico’s Sierra Nevada has teamed with Reno’s The Brewer’s Cabinet for a new IPA that is electric, or Electrum which is a naturally occurring alloy of silver and gold. In this case the two ingredients are Amarillo hops and Simcoe powder.
The Beer Bros. are at it again as El Segundo Brewing has reached out to Alvarado Street for some hoppy kicks…
Sidekicks drops tomorrow.
When sour titans like Cascade and Bruery Terreux tag team on a beer with an Oregon fruit – marionberries and a California fruit – Meyer lemons, does that mean the resulting beer will be twice as sour?
And do you buy a bottle of the Cascade version and the Terreux version and blend them?
Steep Faces IPA 16oz is a trio of collaborators from King Harbor Brewing Co., Epic Brewing, and Stumptown Roasters. Only 130 cases of cans were made of this CIPA (coffee IPA) that was hopped with Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado then Stumptown Roaster’s Colombian El Jordan cold brew coffee was added in. You can buy by the case or 4-pack.
Two old school breweries have collaborated (with hops of course), Sierra Nevada from the North and Karl Strauss from the South have a new beer in the pipeline, NxS.
Some crazy artwork from the most recent collaboration between Monkish Brewing and Jolly Pumpkin of Michigan. Looks fruity….
Hopefully, some of these bottles will make their way to SoCal.
Coming next year…..
…the latest trio collaboration from Stone Brewing. And despite their forays into milk stouts, wits and pilsners this year, they are going to start with hops in 2017.
This wheat style IPA is, “M” hop heavy, imperial IPA. “M” hops like Mandarina Bavaria, Motueka, and Mosaic.” and is brewed with help from Odell Brewing from Colorado and Marble Brewing from New Mexico.
Looks like the El Camino is back out of storage…..
El Camino (Un) Real, a three way collaboration with 21st Amendment, Firestone Walker and Stone Brewing will soon return for the first time since 2011.
The collaborative canned beer is a dark ale, brewed with fennel seeds, chia seeds, peppercorns and figs.
