Counter Culture Coffee and All About Beer Magazine have collaborated with Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. to create “No Middle Ground,” a limited-edition IPA made with cold-brewed coffee. The beer features washed Haru from Ethiopia and an experimental hop known as “291,” giving the beer a bright, fruit-forward flavor profile. No Middle Ground will be available on tap during special tasting events at Counter Culture’s eight regional training centers.

On tap at the Sierra Nevada Torpedo Room
A: Pours deep golden amber with a frothy white head that settles and laces well.
S: Coffee, some kinda herbal hops, and some caramel malt sweetness.
T: Assertive coffee hits first and lingers, some pine and herbal hop notes, a little light citrus and fruity notes, and a touch of caramel malt sweetness.
M: Medium body, moderate carbonation.
O: First time I've gotten to try a coffee IPA. Different but very cool.
