Industrial Arts Brewing (2020)

I keep passing on it at the store. Might have to finally pull the trigger before it’s gone.

 

Not on Long Island I take it?

 

Lol, no. I’ve called that Total Wine in Westbury three times now (which I don’t live that close to) and they haven’t had it and that’s been my go-to store for the Landscape beers. If they don’t have it, no one around here does.

 

See my DM.

 

I’ve picked up two 4-packs at Monarch since the release. They had a few left when I was there last Friday. Idk if it was actually fully distributed here. I asked and they were able to procure a case.

 

It’s usually 6.8 right? I know a simple google search would answer this but its fucking Saturday and yea

 

Picked up a 4-pack of Yes Farms, Yes Beer at a random store in Brooklyn. Very interesting pale hazy IPA. Somewhat similar to the State of the Art Rice IPA, but even more thin and dry. Great to see IA beers in many places around NYC even at Trader Joe's.

 

Hmm wonder if an the new brew space affected the recipe/brewing in any way. Because they had to go through the trouble of getting new can art. Haven't seen anything on social media from them. Any different flavor profile to it? Can't imagine a big difference.

 

That smoked lager sounds amazing.

 

This is wonderful! There's a gentle touch of smoke that plays extremely well against that distinctive spicy hop quality that IA always seems to deliver. The base seems to be in the Vienna mode. Tasted great through two cans, and the smoke never got anywhere near overbearing.

Should have gotten a case .

 

Got a #168 2/17 batch that’s 7.1 pct. saw 2/7 batches at 6.8. New batch is great and guess this is the new Normal.

 

Holy shit this is amazing. Has a chocolate, biscuit snap and a subtle smokiness from the wood. I’m really freakin impressed by this. Must get more!

 

Spring landscape was one of my favorites from last year. Good stuff that it’s coming back, I wonder if it’s the exact same recipe.
