Collaboration with Thorn Brewing Company.
We teamed up with Thorn Brewing to brew Better Days IPA, a medium bodied beer. It’s a classic, refreshing West Coast IPA with high hop aromatics and subdued malt profile.
We'll all get through this together, stronger than ever. Cherish all the loved ones you'll see soon. Cheers to better days ahead.

Spent way too much money on a bunch of beer from North Park Beer Company, Windmill Farms and Bine & Vine. Woof. I’m a fan of each of these breweries - Second Chance and Thorn - although not so much for their IPAs. The can read, “We teamed up with Thorn Brewing to brew Better Days IPA, a medium bodied beer.

Poured a dark gold-to-amber clear color with 2-to-3 fingers of frothy off-white head. Could see just a few floating bubbles coming up from the bottom of the glass. Excellent layered lacing. Decent retention. (Sight - 4.00)
Smelled dank pine, papaya, floral, black pepper, grapefruit peel, herbal, cat piss, onion and garlic. Had to be Simcoe for hops. I’d probably also guess Amarillo. A little better out of the can. (Smell - 4.00)
Tasted bitter pine, dank resin, black pepper, papaya, grapefruit peel, orange pulp, herbal, floral, onion, garlic, cat piss, musty basement, red apple and citrus rind. No mention of hops, but had to be Simcoe. Others could be Amarillo and maybe Mosaic? (Taste - 4.00)
Medium body. Oily texture. Average carbonation. Bitter finish. (Feel - 3.75)
A really solid West Coast IPA. Outstanding. (Overall - 4.00)
