U Want It U Got It
Ocelot Brewing Company

When Palehound’s El Kempner shared their preference for cocktails and bright sour ales, our response was immediate: You want it, you got it. Our collaboration found inspiration in the paloma, a mixed drink of Mexican origins that gained popularity throughout the American southwest at the turn of the century before skyrocketing towards ubiquity in recent years. Our paloma-esque ale was brewed with dry limes, then fermented with grapefruit, agave nectar, and, as a twist on the classic recipe, strawberry. And while hop expression is not central to U Want It U Got It, we nod to the drink’s history with kettle additions of Zappa, a neomexicanus varietal native to the dry mountains of New Mexico.
