We will probably need to learn to Walk Like Zombies considering who is in charge of health and undead human services now but for now we can enjoy a new IPA from Institution Ales, Walk like Zombies which showcases Mosaic DynaBoost hops, which, according to the brewery gives off “fruity and piney qualities.”
Count me as a big fan of festivals that populate those smaller niches and Pale Fest from Institution Ale Co. easily falls into that category.
Keep up with their social media to get the date and ticket details.
Institution Ales Fall Seasonal is back with a Black IPA. It is “brewed with Citra, Simcoe and Amarillo hops. Deceptively dark in appearance, this beer drinks similarly to a piney, citrusy West Coast IPA with only small hints of toasty and chocolate malts.”
Institution Ales is coming up on anniversary 11 in month 11 and they will be celebrating in both the HQ in Camarillo and up at their Santa Barbara location as well. So you have two 1+1 to pick from.
Institution Ale Co. has recently released their Pro-Am collaboration beer, done with the Toaked Brew Home Brew Club and it is….

This month beer social media has been ramping up Oktofest beers along with way too early pumpkin beers, but for the next couple weeks, how about the humble California Common find a spot in the refrigerator?
One new on the market is from Institution Ale Company…
