There is a Replicant release that you should get your hands on, whilst also checking out their beer coolers in Pasadena…..
….who couldn’t stand to try a mystery NY beer?
Integral
Review – 2 from Replicant (and Germany)
Replicant Beer of Pasadena has found a mystery German brewer to assist with a duo of Oktoberfest appropriate beers. One – a German Pilsner and second – a Kellerbier.
Let’s talk Uhaml first, it pours a bubbly mid yellow color. The first sip gives that refreshing note and minerality. Getting a slight melon notes as well. Bit of excess slickness in the mouthfeel, I would like a shade more crispness. Small issues though because this tastes really good.
Rübezahl, the mountain spirit, pours a yellow / orange mix. Big malt notes here that lead into an initially sharp mouthfeel that turns slippery by the end. Earthy is the best descriptor that I can give to it.
Duplicate October
Pasadena’s Replicant Beer is going to be creating not one but two Oktoberfest beers this year with an assist from German brewers. I can’t wait to see the label designs and see how these two beers differ from each other.
Replicant Yuzu
Replicant Beer is bringing back their Yuzu Blonde, Virtual Sessions into a full production run after a successful limited run so if you missed it the first time around, here is your second chance.
Resurgent Quintuple
Replicant Shell announced a while back a new Resurgence Series, bringing lost beers back and coming in will be a Quintuple Blonde Ale.
Which, I do believe is from the late Five Threads Brewing in Westlake Village. Looks like a big and promising start to this series.
Four Copies
Replicant in Pasadena has a big ol’ IPA ready for you and it promises to be blissful.
Resurgence
When a brewery closes, the beers and recipes can sometimes just fade away. Maybe to be done in new forms as brewers take their talents to other breweries.
Replicant Shell the now very well known bottle shop / foreign snacks / gas station in Pasadena is doing their part in bringing back some lost beers with their new Resurgence Series that starts with….
I think it is a great idea and I hope it is a lengthy series and I hope that we will be able to find out the mystery beers behind the resurgence as well.
Formed
Replicant at the Arroyo Shell has a new IPA coming out with the not greatly appetizing name of Malformation Hazy IPA. Good to see that they are having luck having un-named breweries work with them on this fun series of beers.
More Replicants
Replicant, the super fun contract brewery from a Shell gas station in Pasadena has another new beer on the way. But before, I show the label, do plan a visit to get the current Replicant beers. They have cool Sci-Fi art and are fan fiction beers in the best possible sense.
Coffee IPA is a cool sub-style that, at least for me, has more hits than misses, as opposed to a Black IPA.
A Divine Replicant
The Arroyo Shell station in Pasadena known for their beer selection has moved into brewing with some of their favorite brewers. They released two beers last year and # 3 now has a label…
…and that ingredient list is intriguing. Especially peppers in a sour beer.
