Coronado Triples Down For Its 24th (San Diego, CA) – Coronado Brewing is celebrating its 24th year of brewing with something MASSIVE. Brewed using a blend of Idaho Gem, Sabro, Cashmere, and Chinook hops that lend the beer a tropical, fruity hoppiness, Coronado Gentle Giant IPA is a full-bodied 10% ABV Hazy India Pale Ale with a juicy smooth mouthfeel that will make its debut on Friday, August 14th in 16oz., four-pack cans.
“I like brewing big IPA’s to celebrate our anniversary each year.” says Mark Thiesen, Head Brewer, Coronado Brewing Company. “The blend of hops we used was pretty unique and brought out really nice tropical, fruity, juiciness in a triple IPA. The end result is a surprisingly drinkable, yet full-bodied IPA that’s a perfect toast to our 24th year of brewing.”
