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.”
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.”
….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.”
Looks like Sierra Nevada has another beer up their sleeve for 2021…
…so if Celebration IPA left you wanting more lupulin, then Powder Day should help.
El Segundo Brewing has a way with hops and this time around it is a tried and true trio – Centennial / Chinook / Simcoe
Plus, I think this modern-spare design is really well done. The last one, Change of Plans was especially good.
Brewyard Beer Co. in my ‘hood of Glendale has a new Belgian treat that would unwise to pass up…
Indie Brewing in south DTLA has a new entry into their Tiki Style IPA with Catapult “A hazy IPA with pineapple, honeydew, banana, coconut and tangerine.” Sounds like a fruit explosion.
I wasn’t a big fan of the label art on the Surfin’ Bird IPA collaboration which makes a background appearance in the new IPA and doubling down on clothes wearing cartoon animals is giving me some Hanna Barbera vibes that I don’t associate with bitter beers.
That being said, I would bet that the beer inside the can from Pizza Port and El Segundo will be quite good and that is not any Hong Kong Fooey.
I skipped over one Ogopogo beer because I was not a fan of the label but I am back with a cool Halloween but in mauve themed hazy DIPA. And it may drive you insane. Or so this Kikokiko myth goes.
I am in the midst of a beercation and apparently so is BarrelHouse Brewing of Paso Robles who have this ’50s evocative Hazy DIPA now on the market…
