If you were a fan of a regular sized hop hypnotism, then you will like ….
Firestone Walker will be releasing Double Hypnosis. Styled as an Imperial IPA though it is only slightly above 8% ABV.

BDE
Party Beer Co. has a new DIPA about to land in their West Adams brewery, BDE.

This is probably more DIPA than IPA since it clocks in at 9%. So save for a nightcap.
Distorted
A heads up for fans of Nelson hops. King Harbor has a new West Coast – Double IPA – DDH in cans now.
DIPA Trippy
L.A. can be both a vacation trip or just a plain trip. So get a 4-pack of…
Trippy Town from Common Space Brewery and raise a glass to the vibrancy of this city.
Review – Psychic Advisor DIPA from There Does Not Exist
Straight from San Luis Obispo is There Does Not Exist. Here is my take on my first beer from the brewery, Psychic Advisor Double IPA.
This is an old school West Coast Citra bomb. Pours a clear dark yellow with an herbal citrus aroma. Quite the intricate label art, all swirling lines with maybe an Ent like creature. The lemon really shines through. This is a strong beer but as opposed to DIPAs that pop you upside the head, this just is.
How Many Times?
Three Weavers is leaving their latest beer unfiltered. A Thousand Times Yes is an unfiltered DIPA from the Inglewood brewery. How many times will you say yes to this hoppy creation?
West Coast Poetry
Stone does not mess around with their double IPA’s. And they have a new “ode” to the classic West Coast style that they popularized in San Diego. Plus it will probably be in the 22oz format so it will be truly a nod to craft IPA past. A
Mountain Towers
The mountains surrounding LA are a bit cluttered but there are local landmarks as well and Trustworthy Brewing is “paying homage to the radio towers on top of the Verdugo Mountains overlooking Burbank” with two DDH DIPA’s, one for each tower.
Tower 1 is brewed with Pilsner malt and heavily dry-hopped with Simcoe, Azacca, and Comet hops. Giving it a light color and sweet pineapple flavor. Tower 2 is brewed with 2-row malt and equally graciously dry-hopped with Mosaic and Azacca hops. Giving this beer a deep golden appearance and a sweet hoppy bitterness.
Hazy x2 + Lager Too
Firestone Walker’s Lager is getting a label makeover and bigger news, Mind Haze is growing. Now there will be a Double…
The lager label seems old school beer design without the font and the use of the word premium. Plus it has the earthy tones of the barrel-aged beers like the Gin Rickey. As for Hazier, I bet they took their time with it like they did the original so I expect a winner.
