Fieldwork appreciation thread

They are calling this one Pulp. According to them, this beer is essentially Pulp Free without the fining agents. I'm not giving this beer the title on NEIPA, Fieldwork did. If you click on the photo you can see their description.

 

Didn't click, my bad.

 

Loved Hazy Train.

 

It definitely drinks like an NEIPA, and different from Pulp Free. Probably my favorite from them to this point.

 

The Sacramento Fieldwork Tap Room opened up this weekend. Place was booming. Some good buzz going on.

Pic from local media report:

 

So... I visited Fieldwork a few months ago and wasn't too impressed with what I had to be honest.

Tried a sampler of different things from Daylight Pale to Salted Coconut.

I've also had pints of Hot Chocolate Stout, Ascender, Storm Surge, Chisel, St. Thomas and their Coconut Milk DIPA at different local bars.

Some of the beers were decent, and some were things I would never order again.

But lately, I've tried their attempts at NE IPAs: Galaxy Juice and Pulp and they are quite fantastic!

I'll have to keep my eyes out.

 

They just released a new NE DIPA, Saint Monroe. It's a straight melon/peach juice bomb. Super delicious - I highly recommend it!

 

Fair enough, haha. Both are fantastic beers for sure! I'm just eagerly awaiting the return of PULP, should have grabbed a few crowlers of that when I had the chance.

 

Any idea what hops are in St. Monroe? St. Thomas is in my top three brews by them.

 

Never mind, I just checked their Facebook and saw a pic, Amarillo hop. Looks great.

 

I'll be checking for it at beermenus on a regular basis until it hits SF then I'll be drinking it.

 

I hope they offer a wet hopped beer, soon!

 

This might interest a few people. FW Head Brewer Alex Tweet was on the Brewing Network "The Sessions" Pod Cast. Long Interview about Fieldwork and their beers and expansion plans in Sacramento and Napa.

Cant wait for the mid-October opening of the Napa Fieldwork location, just saw they posted the Oxbow job opportunity to their IG.

 

and I 2nd this. Ive only had fresh hop beers from Social SF and Knee Deep so far this year, hope others join in on the fun.

 

I thought we covered this, but the one in Sacramento is open. Napa is in Oxbow (a couple blocks from where the new Stone location is going), and they're also opening a location in Monterrey.

 

Also some quick video of Alex Tweet at the Sacramento Craft Beer Summit talking NE IPA. He is on a speaking panel with Henry from Monkish and Ryan from Track 7.

also some mic drop stuff on some of the bad NE IPAs that could be coming out as some inexperienced brewerers look to copycat: https://twitter.com/NickMiller510/status/774667922811686912

 

I was just describing some of the topics of the Interview in a general statement. Expansion plans were covered.

Yes, we know Sacramento is open. It is all good.

 

Alex from Fieldwork had some takes on what Sam Adams is doing.

If hazy IPAs make you angry, but Sam Adams fighting against recreational marijuana doesn't, you probably need to smoke some weed

 

Hit the Fieldwork Sacramento Tap Room again. Great go to spot after work. On the recommendations from the BA group, I had the Saint Monroe NE Double IPA. Great.

I also got some Saint Thomas NE IPA Crowlers to go. St T was great as well.
