CCBA Summit Brewery # 3 – Pine & Palm Brewing

The final California stop is in Fresno and Pine & Palm Brewing. The brewery was established in 2014 by owner Roger Noguera and lives now in a newer bigger space in North Fresno.

Here is what I would sample from a first taster tray…

Krispie Boi – “Citra Dry Hopped Lager”

Office Beer IPA – “Collaboration with 411”

Sleepy Time Barrel-Aged Barleywine – ” 2018 Release of Sleepy Time Barleywine. Aged in Heaven Hill Bourbon Barrels”

3rd Anniversary Barrel-Aged Stout – ” Aged in Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels with Madagascar Vanilla beans”

Saga

Brewing in Minnesota for awhile now, Summit Brewing Company’s 25th anniversary beer is named after Odin’s drinking companion, Sága. And according to their website is not for smelling impaired.

A blend of Citra, Amarillo, Centennial and a New Zealand hop by the name of Rakau. It might be leaning more West coast than east. I have been fortunate enough to have a couple Summit beers and this one sounds great.

Mikkeller single hops!

A few months back, I warned that more Mikkeller single hop ales were on the way. Now that I have just sampled the Mikkeller 10. From the initial 10 single hop beers it is about time for the next set to start.

Personally, the two that I am looking forward to the most are Citra and Sorachi Ace.

So now I need East Kent Goldings and these new five to complete the series.

What about you? Which of these five are you looking forward to?
