We are turning 20! What better way to celebrate than to brew with our friends?

We have always loved RIIP IPAs (their rafting skills are pretty rad too). We put our heads together to make this Citra, Nelson and Mosaic West Coast IPA as the first in our series of Collaboration Brews for 2026. Enjoy, it won't last long!

This site is so freaking archaic - was trying to add a beer, accidentally clicked ‘submit’ before I finished, and there’s nothing you can do to edit. I reported an update - American IPA, 6.8% ABV, but not likely it will get noticed out here in the land of actual IPA’s

This one is an absolutely gem - you could totally call it old school nowadays, but this harkens back to when Kern was pushing the hoppy envelope - back when they were beer babies.

Classic pale appearance, 1/4 inch sticky head that never fully recedes. Nose is grassy, with notes of pine and peppery citrus.

The flavors have that honey-biscuit-meets-pine-meets-berry-meets-yum, along the lines of Pliny or any of the coveted WC IPA’s. An absolute stunner, hopefully they’ll repurpose this like they did for their 5th Anniversary (Winter Ale).
