Lassos and Lasers Brett IPA
Confluence Brewing Company

Everyone loves a good mashup, whether hip hop and electronica, cowboys and aliens, or in this case: a juicy New England-Style IPA and an Oak-Aged Wild Ale. We laid down our genre blend on a malt track similar to our Extinction Event series, and then layered on Galaxy and El Dorado hops for deep riffs of tropical fruit, cherries, and watermelon. Once the wort left the brewhouse, the record scratched and the real mashup was ready to begin. Fermented by a particularly fruity strain of Brettanomyces (funk, not sour) in our American Oak Foeder, this decidedly new-world IPA has diverged from its decidedly old-world techniques. The Brett adds a layer of funk so out-of-this-world that it perfectly complements the fruit-forward hops and has quickly become our new jam. Hop on your horse - or climb into your spaceship - and wrangle up this beer before it's gone!
