Three Weavers is joining the DIPA 19.2 crowd with Gigaton filled with El Dorado and Chinook hops for “bright & dank flavors of pineapple, stone fruit and grapefruit.”

Review – Sneaky Sips & Juicy Drips
Two breweries. One mission. Use the same hop combo of Galaxy, Mosaic and Cryo Pop.
That is the challenge for Three Weavers and Tarantula Hill and now is the time to see who wore the hops best…
Juicy Drips – pours a light yellow with a light bit of haze to it. Strong stone fruit aroma. Getting peach and nectarine in both the aroma and taste. Also a bit of wine character as well. Body is light as well with a deceptive bitter kick to it.
Sneaky Sips – looks like a pilsner in the glass. Initially this was 100% pine needle with a sharp bitter hit at the beginning of the sip but as it warms up a little bit of fruit flavor kinda like grape adds a secondary note that the beer needed to avoid being one dimensional.
You would not know from tasting that these beers used the same hops, at all. I was more partial to the Three Weavers with that peach fuzz taste.
A Good Drip
The Three Weavers group has a new but different collaboration out with Tarantula Hill Brewing under the name: Code Name. The Inglewood version is Juicy Drips. Word to come on what Tarantula Hill will call theirs.
Each juicy pale ale “was made with the same hop combo, Galaxy, Mosaic and Cryo Pop.” Will we be able to tell the difference?
Weaving an N/A
It has been a nine month journey but Three Weavers has three (fittingly) N/A beers in cans. Three months of work each is my math is right for a lager, Eest Coast IPA and a Hazy IPA.
To add more math, the near beers will be sold in six-packs.
Beer Review – Rough Edges from Three Weavers and Common Space
Unfiltered is a not often used adjective for IPA’s but the collaboration between Three Weavers and Common Space uses it for their Rough Edges.
Pours a slightly hazy light orange. Earthy and spicy aroma. A little bit of orange as well. Initial taste is a creamy orange. Low amount of bitterness to me. Creamy orange Pekoe tea.
Lite-r
I enjoy and maybe will enjoy again, the Eagle Rock Brewery Session Fest. This month Westsiders can enjoy a new low ABV festival at Three Weavers Brewing. And it has quite the brewery list from both near and far…
Puffy
Way back in 2022, Three Weavers brewed Citra Puffs, a hazy IPA. That beer has been downshifted into the more approachable pale ale category with the slightly altered name of Citra Puffs Juicy Pale Ale. Below the image is the brewery description…
“Citra, more Citra, some Mosaic, a little Comet, topped off with a final sprinkle of Citra all comes together in an easy-drinking 5.2% ABV package delivering a cornucopia of punchy fruit aromas. Just a sample of notes from our sensory panel: ruby red grapefruit, orange hard candy, lemongrass, mango, dankity dankness, pineapple juice, lime zest and passionfruit.”
Rooibos
Three Weavers is mixing IPA with Rooibos tea and have canned it fir us, Tea B.D IPA.
“Tea B.D. was dry-hopped with Talus, Azacca and a pinch of Idaho Gem then cold-steeped with South African Rooibos tea to produce a beer that’s (per his eloquent description) “kinda tropical-ish and stone fruity with a bit of a floral, woody, vanilla vibe in the background.”
Review – Humans Vs. Wizards
Time to choose a side. Wizards and Hazies or Humans and West Coasties?
This challenge comes to us from Smog City and Three Weavers and their two IPA’s…
We start with…
More Wizard Than Human Hazy IPA – fruit plus Sweet Tart on the aroma. Soft on the palate. The bitterness is there but more lurking than upfront. The spell of hops is from Strata, Cashmere and El Dorado. I get some tea like notes from the Strata plus a little twisted malt note.
More Human Than Wizard West Coast IPA – according to the label art, much bigger hops used. Though really it is the same big three just expressed differently. Tilted more British in styling with a bready note. More earthy and woody and no fruit.
Verdict – I like the fruity notes in the hazy over the earthy in the West Coast. I also like the wizard over the Thor like dude with the big H mash paddle.
Not for Gandalf
Is that Aquaman’s dad in overalls?
Whomever you think it is, a hazy from the combined forces of Smog City and Three Weavers should cast a spell on your taste buds.
