Californian Triple IPAs

There were a couple years there where Mother Earth's Big Mother had me thinking "better than Younger." I'm not a big TIPA fan, though, so I haven't had it in a few years.

 

Monday afternoon pour starting out with a triple from LCB King Of Haze V3. Lots of Pineapple and Mango flavors right up front to hide it’s 11%. Next to Revision’s Hops In A Can this is my 2nd favorite triple haze. One and done. On the triple that is.

 

Tried Dr. Lupulin this weekend from the source in Sparks and while it was solid, I didn't think it was up to the level of previous years of Notorious, Big Chicken, or Younger

 

Fieldwork just put out Tundra again.

Alvarado's hazy One Giant Leap was released again this week.

Henhouse Big Chicken is out again today.

Heretic's Evil3 is out and about now too.

 

I'm really excited to see if Zach at Slice puts out a Triple. The first batch of Extremist when he was at Moonraker was incredible. Also, the batch I got last year at Moonrakers anniversary party was great as well

 

This should be on everyone's list. Very good beer which I always get when available. Happy to hear that it's in can's this year.

 

Used to drink Stone Ruinten every years (pick up 3-4 bottles). I haven't seen it the past couple of years. Sad.

 

I saw in the AMA he did here on BA that they don't make it anymore cause it didn't sell. I really liked the orange peel and vanilla bean version of it too. Bummed to see them both go.

 

Although LCB catches a lot of flak on here (and I've had issues with some of their cans maybe a year ago), I picked up their TIPA In Haze We Trust today because of your post above. Glad I did - some pretty great, redeemable stuff right here.

 

I had never heard these guys until one of my Vegas trips and visiting Beer Zombies. I thought it was just okay. I don't remember what I had. But when I saw the cans come into my local I paid a little more attention. My local kid at the store told me about the collab with Revision. So I got a 4pk of the Collab.

 

Yeah, I get the business decision. Same reason that we don't see Double Bastard, OG, and a few others anymore. Still, some breweries figured out how to dial back some of their beers and still have limited availability for the hard core drinkers. Not Stone.

 

Auburn Alehouse ZZ Hop

 

Reuben's hazy Triple IPA is delicious. And that double that keeps winning the hazy DIPA gold at the Beer Championships. And their crush series....In fact I love their Hazies waaaayyy more than their West Coast style hops lol

 

Don’t know about the various Cali TIPAs, but do recommend some of those from Commonwealth from Virginia Beach. Wolfmother is a standout. Just tried Lantern Lighter, a milkshake TIPA from Abomination, last night. Sweet, rich, and spicy. Pretty smooth at 10.31%.

 

Claremont Craft Triple IPA (unaware of it has an actual other name). Clean, crisp, hop-forward, non-malt bomb TIPA that is insanely drinkable. Believe it’s all Mosiac too. Worth a try in my opinion
