Beachwood Citraholic IPA

LOL...somewhere, Ding's spidey sense is tingling.

Jokes about sessionable ABV aside, I loved the last batch and look forward to kegs of this making their way down to San Diego. Julian is killing it with good beer after good beer.

 

OP, why do you relate IBUs with ABV as criteria for a sessionable beer?

 

I think you mean ABV. IBU's will not make the beer boozy or syrupy sweet.

 

I agree that Citraholic is great. I'll be in LB tonight and may have to grab a pint/growler.

 

Quick question , how much is a growler fill at beachwood?

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Palate fatigue

 

It's quite a fantastic beer. Glad to hear they rebrewed it for more people to enjoy.

 

BW's Citraholic is one helluva great tasting beer. I had Julian's first batch of Citraholic and it was amazing. It did run out quick but not as quick as the Amalgamator. I've had both batches of the Amalgamator and now looking forward to the newest batch of Citraholic. The two I would have to put up there as my favorite BW's release. It would be nice to compare the two. I will be in tomorrow first thing for the Thrillseeker bottle release and fill my growler with Citraholic to compare with my last growler of Amalgamator (filled 2 weeks ago). Julian's BW brewing beers is def world class. Even though most of the country has not had any or much of his beers, its by word of mouth that has a lot talking about it. Though they have just started to bottle only special releases/beers you have to visit BW LB or SB to get a taste of what BW's beers are about. Or able to visit the couple dozen places that carries BW's brews. And all are in California. So for those lucky enough to be in California or live close to Long Beach or Seal Beach are lucky to be able to stop in and enjoy some world class beers anytime.
I can see beer lovers from San Francisco or San Diego saying "what would class beer from BW?" They have their own beers in their backyard that they can claim as world class. Example ABC or KRBC, etc. There are a lot of beer drinkers who has never had a Duet, Pure Hoppiness, Citra DIPA or any of the beers from ABC or KRBC because it's so hard to obtain here in SoCal. Likewise for the peeps that live outside of LA/OC area. You cant buy bottles from BW. You have to go to the two locations or find a place nearby that has their beers on tap. It would be nice to see more of their beers being released in bottles.

Sorry for getting off subject. Citraholic rocks!!

 

I was at the LB location last Thursday and went through pint after pint. It's seriously the tits. I am going to do growler fills to send out to my midwest trading partners. This should be their next bottling...
