Summer is waning and American craft brewers are addressing things with a smart roster of beer you’re gonna want to have around as we look to fall.
Zumology (Escondido, CA) – Stone Brewing has a new special release that is brimming with bright citrus tones, thanks to the brewery’s early access to the new Zumo hops courtesy of the Segal Ranch in Washington State. Named after the Spanish word for citrus zest, the Zumo hop nails the vibrant lime characteristic.
Smooth and slightly sweet with mild bitterness, Stone Zumology IPA is a 7.5% ABV India Pale Ale with lime, lime zest and melon flavors that give way to a nice dankness on the finish. And its out there now, so you know what to do.
Wizard’s Brew (Nashville, TN) – Tennessee’s fastest growing brewery, TailGate Brewery, has a new addition to their Wizards’ Order IPA Series, that is now available at all nine of the brewery’s Tennessee taprooms as well as at retailers across the state.
Crafted with an exotic mix of Riwaka, Waimea and Motueka hops, TailGate Tropic Wizard Juicy IPA is a 6% ABV India Pale Ale with bright tropical lemon, lime and papaya notes, a brisk pine resin ambience, and a hint of breadiness.
TailGate just opened its 9th taproom across the state, all of them focused on a diverse craft beer lineup (more than 300 styles brewed every year). TailGate Brewery has been named a Top Workplace by the Tennessean two years in a row, which we appreciate.
An Everyday Sour We’re Sweet On (Bend, OR) – 10 Barrel Brewing is deservedly renowned for its big, bold IPAs, but they also offer a family of kettle sours, and there’s one variation we’re particularly sweet on.
Crafted with Pacific Northwest huckleberries, which are actually part of the native blueberry family in the west, 10 Barrel Crush Huckleberry Sour is a light and crisp 5.3% ABV Sour Ale that takes the natural tartness of the fruit in a sweet direction.
