Brewyard Beer, right in my ‘hood of Glendale is bringing more haze, but it it is not to be scared of despite that familiar carpet pattern…
Don’t be a dull boy.
Take A Shining To It
IP Fighters
Count me as not a fan of the name or IP stretching by Bottle Logic but the beer itself sounds very intriguing. I am sure we can all find beers with questionable names that inside the can was terrific.
are not lost
Cold IPA seems to pop up here and there like it wants to be a trend but is stuck in second gear. If you haven’t made up your mind about the style, there is a new release from Claremont Craft Ales for you…
El Fremonto
Not the most elegant portmanteau but the duo is super strong…
Fremont Brewing meets El Segundo for, you guessed it, an IPA.
Scotchpine
Stone Brewing has a One Batch Dispatch for you. Jason Dunn / Stone Pineapple Dunn Upside Down Wee Heavy which is out this very day.
“The recipe comes from Jason Dunn’s winning submission in the 2020 American Homebrewers Association Rally. As the name implies, the beer is inspired by pineapple upside down cake. He wanted to create an in-depth malt profile, so it was decided to use a wee heavy base, boil it for an extended time to bring forth the rich caramel flavors, then incorporate pineapple to help cut through the sweetness of the malts and create a delicious decadent dessert beer.”
Been Here Before
Late January and early February are Triple IPA time. And Long Beach Beer Lab has a TIPA that seems familiar…
Perhaps it is time to do a TIPA taste off.
Coasting
Offshoot Beer Co. has a new year round offering and it is a hazy pale ale.
Here is the description: “Bursting with juicy, fruity flavor thanks to generous dry hopping with Mosaic, Strata, Citra, and Cashmere, Coast is ultra sessionable any day of the week. 2-row and wheat malts lend a soft, light mouthfeel for this sessionable ale.”
Tripel and Extra
Now this is an exciting development, Rochefort Triple Extra. A brand extension that is worthy.
“This is the first new release from Rochefort since 1955. That’s a 67 year dry spell Rochefort Triple Extra is pleasantly light-bodied for a beer of this strength; it’s superbly complex, exciting, and unmatched.”
Where and When
Speaking of beer travel, sometimes you need to be flexible and Pizza Port has us covered.
“A simple grain bill of 2-Row allows the hop character to shine through in this bright, golden West Coast style IPA. Aromas of mango, lychee and guava lead to flavors of bright citrus and subtle berry notes thanks to the use of Citra and experimental hop HBC 586. This beer has mild bitterness and a clean, dry finish.”
Before Texting…
….there was paging (and as of earlier this month Blackberries). To honor that point in time, and hops, Brewyard Beer in Glendale has…
Your Hops Keep Paging Me – “A true Westcoast IPA filled with Amarillo, Simcoe and Cascade Hops.”
