Fight On

USC can Big10 tailgate properly with the new , Stone Fight On! Pale Ale. Stone Brewing will be the official USC Athletics beer will be available for purchase the week of August 14, 2023.

The Pale Ale with “a balanced blend of tropical and citrusy hop flavors” will “be distributed throughout Southern California at stores, bars, and restaurants and onsite at the Los Angeles Colosseum and the Galen Center, home of the USC Trojans.”

Maybe I can get Linfield University to have an official beer made by Heater-Allen.

My Dad Loves This Bar

Kudos to both leaning into a perceived negative and bringing back a blast from the past.

El Segundo Brewing has created a new pale ale as a house beer (which used to be a thing back in the olden days of excess capacity) for two bars. One is the Library Alehouse and the other being the The Richmond.

The name….

Yup, craft beer dads have a bad reputation from ticking too much on Untappd to being so not cool that the kids are moving away to other beverages to distance themselves.

Sober Grizzly

The Non-Alcoholic beer options just keep expanding for those who want craft but without the ABV. There is a new N/A producer up in the Thousand Oaks area by the cheeky name of SoBear Brewing. Get it?

Currently they have a Hazy Pale Ale out in cans and coming soon are a Guava Sour and an American Light Lager. Though I am starting to wonder why it isn’t the big imperial stouts or DIPAs that aren’t getting the treatment.

Detour

I am onboard with Tiki bars even though I am more of a bourbon and gin and not rum pirate. But Radiant Beer Co. has a interesting rum barrel detour…

“Tropical Detour – Rum Barrel-aged Strong Ale – 14.9% ABV. We chose a strong ale that spent almost 2.5 years in Barbados Rum Barrels and blended it with other strong ales aged in Grand Marnier and Chartreuse Barrels. Then, we conditioned the blend on roasted almonds, limes, grapefruit, and oranges with a kiss of cinnamon. The result is an eloquent equatorial extravaganza of tropical flavors housed in a deep brown pour with a touch of tan foam. The aromas are complex, reminiscent of a tiki cocktail with emphasis on notes of citric acidity and rich rum, with some lingering impressions of dark rum and toasty, nutty accents. Take a trip to the tropics; a pinky-up visit to your favorite island.”

HQ IPA

Right now there are two breweries that I can say with confidence can nail a Quad IPA. El Segundo Brewing and Pure Project. The latter has teamed with Bottle Logic for a long but funny named QIPA.

“”A Quad IPA? In This Economy?!” emerges with a pale yellow haze, a hugely tropical aromatic output, and a bullish 12% ABV. Our diversified portfolio of Nectaron, Strata, and Citra Cryo hops lends flavors of grapefruit, pineapple, and stone fruit to the palate’s balance sheet, where bold malt sweetness tempers the punchy ABV and eases the hop bitterness into a delicious depreciation.”
