Sean Suggests for August 2023

Since IPA day snuck up on us on the 3rd of the month, I thought it would be proper to go hoppy with the beer suggestions as well as keeping it L.A. local.

Brouwerij West Scissor Run – 6.2% – “Indulge in this unique Hazy IPA and let it launch those tastebuds into a hoppy melon paradise. This dewy lil’ mama is packed with Amarillo, Huell Melon, and Ekuanot hops.”

Common Space Between the Lines – 7% – an intriguing flavor combination of mango, orange juice and pine.  Released for IPA Day.

Beachwood Brewing Dank Brigade – 9% – “We’ve assembled our finest battalion of hops for this massively aromatic double IPA! Hopped with Mosaic, Citra, Ekuanot, & El Dorado. 100+ IBUs.”

Beer Review – No, You Hang Up First Hazy Pale Ale from Ogopogo and Common Space

Ogopogo Brewing and Common Space Brewery are on the line with a hazy pale ale.

Time to talk about it….

Pours a hazy lemonade color. Initial aroma is pineapple but more pineapple smoothie than the sharp fruit. The initial taste is a very creamy tropical fruit. This is another super pillowy version of hazy. The end note is orange juice. Really nice example of how a lower ABV pale can have lovely and complex flavors.

Smaller Variety

I am usually hesitant to buy a variety pack.  One reason is that I am usually buying for one beer in four that is new.  The second reason is that it is usually a twelve item purchase.  So I have to commit.

Which is why I like the Greatest Hits 4-pack from Common Space Brewery. Not buying for a hype new beer, buying their best sellers.  Not buying a fridge full either.

Up or Down

If there is something I love more than a collaboration beer, it is a two-way collaboration beer. Brouwerij West and Common Space bring you Maximum Decline (the BW half) “is a West Coast Double IPA loaded with citrus flavors of tangerine and grapefruit, and piney dankness from copious use of Cryo Amarillo, Amarillo, Galaxy, and Nelson hops. We used malted barley, malted wheat, and flaked rice to keep this hoppy brew crisp and clean for maximum enjoyment this holiday season.”

And Minimum Incline IPA (from CS) is releasing Friday, December 9th.
