Collaboration with Hop Butcher For The World
Did we just become best friends?
This collab with Hop Butcher should have been inspired from a beautiful day of building bunk beds, looking at Good Housekeeping magazines and getting sweaty while watching Cops. Instead, 2020 decided to teabag our drum so we were forced to take it to the Web. With just two emails and a quick phone call, we decided that we would each brew the same recipe and release them simultaneously.
Karate in the Garage is a glorious DIPA dry hopped with Citra, Nelson Sauvin, Strata and Motueka. It’s tropical, it’s citrusy and dank AF. Get your hands on the Hop Butcher For The World version if you can and try em side by side. We miss these dudes and can’t wait til the day we can get together again and f*ck sh*t up!

Outstanding collab brew. Nice look and nose in now traditional NEIPA style. Taste jumps out even more with a beautifully balanced mix of tropical/ melon and dank. Rarely see dank/ pine being complimentary to melon and stone fruit but this one really works.
Super silky if you don’t rush drinking it straight out of the fridge.
Overall my favorite Aslin I’ve been able to try.
Two great brewers; one great beer.
