One block apart, nine years strong, and forever locked in a totally fake rivalry, Czig Meister and Man Skirt Brewing finally collide in this dual collab.
Same hops (El Dorado & Amarillo), similar ABV, but two very different brews, Ours? A juicy, hazy East Coast IPA bursting with citrus and tropical fruit, soft on the palate and bold in flavor.
The octopus and anglerfish are deep in battle but you get to enjoy the spoils.
Collab or competition? You decide.

DATE: August 3, 2025... OCCASION: the garage sale a success and in the books, I turn to the other side of the "Man Skirt/Czig Meister rivalry"... mellow, hazy yellow-orange body that supports a two-fingered, fluffy white head--aa creamsicle kind of view... big citrus kick quickly, with mango, tangerine, and orange creating a tropical vibe... light oats form an agreeable balance... creamy and slightly viscous, like orange juice... vibrant at the teeth but not rattling, it makes a peaceful trip to the throat, where it flourishes with a bubbly exit that lingers... tangerine, pineapple, orange and mango make this a decidedly tropical experience... refreshing, yet worth mulling... lactic indeed, but not sickeningly so... the oats are light-hearted but pitch the profile enough to balance its hops... this and Man Skirt's offering is a great one-two punch, either way you have them... I sincerely hope this becomes a tradition from these breweries--we are blessed to have them...
