Summer is ON and American craft brewers are addressing things with sensational new beers, this time all IPAs, you’re gonna want to have around.
Into The Mystic (Venice, CA) – Firestone Walker has an uber-interesting new release that’s exclusively available in the brewery’s latest bottle IPA Mixed Pack, which also includes Hopnosis and Union Jack, and is only available in California, Arizona and Nevada markets. Firestone Mystic Shadows is a 6% ABV new-age showcase for New Zealand hops with complex notes of white gummy bear, blue raspberry, strawberry, green mango and bubblegum.
“We blended a few of our favorite New Zealand hops, Nelson and Motueka, with a couple of other newer discoveries called Rakau and Moutere,” said Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. “We had just enough supply to create this limited release, which blends West Coast style with Southern Hemisphere character.”
