March is ON and American craft brewers are addressing things with a full slate of new beers you’re gonna want to chase down.

Brilliantly Hopped (Paso Robles, CA ) – Firestone Walker is showcasing new hop combinations in a Propagator Series release that comes with a specially curated musical soundtrack to elevate the drinking experience and is ONLY available in the brewery’s latest bottled IPA Mixed Pack.

Conceived at Firestone Walker’s Propagator R&D brewhouse in Venice and perfected at the main Paso Robles brewery, Firestone Simcoe Sequence is a 6% ABV West Coast Style IPA that combines the pine and citrus notes of the iconic Simcoe hop with the lime and tropical fruit notes of New Zealand’s exotic Motueka hop. “I love the idea of showcasing some of our favorite hops in a way that not only creates an amazing beer but also educates the beer lover and helps them get to know these different varieties,” Firestone Walker Brewmaster Matt Brynildson said.

Available in California, Arizona and Nevada, Simcoe Sequence is exclusive to Firestone Walker’s limited-release bottled IPA Mixed 12 Pack, along withUnion Jack and the new Hopnosis IPA.
