Houston is a BIG city. And we think it deserves a BIG beer. Most people are familiar with India Pale Ales and West Coast IPAs, but now it's our turn to brand that cattle. And that cattle's name is Hopston. This hoppy brew is approachable and balanced; enjoyable year round and perfectly suited for the hot Texas summer. You're welcome and, yes, you may have another.

On tap in Pilsner glass.

The color is an orange shade of copper with a small creamy head with little retention.

Caramel malt, candied orange peel,

Smooth, sweet caramel and Vienna malt body with some diacetyl. On the flip side orange oil, mint, and pine hops combine with hop and alcohol bitterness for a very well balanced beer.

Medium body and carbonation with a finish that approaches gritty between the high bitterness and bubbles.

An aggressive example of the older style of American IPA that used to be common in the middle and East of the country.

Dark golden color
Medium carbonation
Great smell
Citrus hops up front with just the slightest amount of malt to tie it all together.
If you like ipa's, this may not be your favorite, but you won't be disappointed. It's very solid.
