Murkopy

If you do not know by now, Smog City Brewing is REALLY community focused.  Be it the California craft beer community or our climate changed world.

Their latest collaborative effort is with, Pure Project Brewing, and the , National Forest Foundation for the release of Forest Understory IPA, part of the Smog City Community Impact Series of beers.  Pure Project will counter with Beneath the Canopy Murky IPA. 

Every purchase of Forest Understory IPA will have a portion of the proceeds donated to the National Forest Foundation.

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.”

NamiPA

For the fourth year running, Pizza Port has combo’d with Pure Project on a beer and for 2022 that beer is Nami.  An IPA, which you probably already guessed.  What struck me was how pretty the label was, that Japanese inspired blue ocean is very cool.

1% Party

I am reduced to talking about events far, far later in the year, knowing that those are probably OK, and here is a really good one…

It may be a small invite list but those are some fine outside if Los Angeles breweries, so I recommend marking this Smog City event down on your Aftermath calendar.
