Ogopogo at 6

I like a small beer festival. I feel like I can actually taste the full rainbow if there is a tight mix of breweries. And Ogopogo Brewing is using their 6th anniversary to throw a little shindig in San Gabriel.

I am especially interested in Craft Coast and Burgeon and what they may be tapping.

OgoBlackberry

Ogopogo Brewing has a new Pastry Stout coming from the blackberry bramble with a bit of menace and a 8.5% ABV, Beelzebub.  If you are a fence sitter when it comes to this style, like me, this might be a good one to check out and see where you are now.

First and Hazy

Usually for a collaboration, one brewery takes the lead with the label design and canning.  But sometimes, two beers come out of a collaboration.

Smog City and Ogopogo got together and now there are two IPAs out for craft beer fans to try…

  1. First Stride “a magical concoction bursting with enchanting flavors of ripe strawberries, juicy mangoes, and tangy grapefruits so incredible you’ll hardly believe it’s a West Coast IPA until that nice dank undertone hits you.”
  2. Hedorah Hazy IPA another mythical monster monikered beer from the San Gabriel brewery.

Beer Review – No, You Hang Up First Hazy Pale Ale from Ogopogo and Common Space

Ogopogo Brewing and Common Space Brewery are on the line with a hazy pale ale.

Time to talk about it….

Pours a hazy lemonade color. Initial aroma is pineapple but more pineapple smoothie than the sharp fruit. The initial taste is a very creamy tropical fruit. This is another super pillowy version of hazy. The end note is orange juice. Really nice example of how a lower ABV pale can have lovely and complex flavors.

Ya’ Mama

If you are a fan of Ogopogo Brewing and you really like Citra, Azacca, Amarillo and Chinook hops but you also like coconut and pineapple then the new Yacumama Hazy IIIPA coming in at 10.5% should be right up your mythical creature alley.
