    These guys need their own thread. During the pandemic I've had the utmost pleasure of discovering a wide variety of their beers, while almost have been West Coast or Lager's i.e. Party Cup, they have all been very good to excellent. Today I grabbed a couple can's of Stratacadabra and it's amazing, the Nelson, Citra and Strata all combine to create a world class west coast IPA that's juicy dank and hoppy AF. Can't wait to hit the brewery when the time is right and do a proper tasting through their line-up.

    Cheers,

    I've enjoyed everything I ordered from them as somebody who only had their stouts previously. Sorta Mostly Dead and Hop-Fu! were great and exactly what I needed as my HPB Hello LA cans were running out. I really want to grab some Stratacadabra, but I keep fighting with myself since I still have about two cases of hoppy beer to work through. Tempted to grab 1 or 2 4packs to at least satisfy the itch, but then I'll regret not getting another case (as the other beer sits).

    Stratacadabra is great (and I definitely recommend getting some), but I actually thought Mosaic Melody was the better of last week's releases. One of the best, most vibrant aromas I've ever gotten out of a pale ale - the only comparison points friends and I could come up with were some of the old, pub-only batches of various pales from Alpine circa a decade ago. Don't sleep on it.

    Bottlecraft LB didn't have that one today, I will be on the look out. I am a fan, such fantastic craftsmanship across the board.

    I have loved every beer I've had of their. Is stratacadabra seeing distribution or brewery only release? If its in North County I need to hunt it down.

    I came here to see if there was a North Park thread. Got a case yesterday; Strata, Secrets, Melody and Hop Fu, they're all exceptional.

    It hit Bine N Vine 2 days ago, so I assume distro.

    All in on this thread. Discovering this brewery has been the highlight of quarantine life! I’ve ordered 3 cases so far.

    Enjoying Stratacadabra. Anyone know if they have a 100% Nelson IPA in the works?

    Not 100% Nelson, but we do have a 100% New Zealand hopped West Coast IPA named "West Coast Kiwi" (Nelson, Wai-Iti, Moutere, NZ Cascade) to be released next Friday, 6/12.

    Fine, I’ll knock the dust off my account to chime in. Got a mixed case of Covington & Party Cup last week. My go-to backyard grilling crushers. So damn good

    Ordered some Party Cup yesterday, eagerly awaiting it's arrival. It's my first time trying this brewery. I placed my order mainly due to the high praise here.

    I enjoyed everything I got from them, especially Party Cup. I may have to put in another order soon and try out these new releases including the upcoming West Coast Kiwi. That sounds delicious.

    I'm glad I didn't order any Stratacadabra yet with West Coast Kiwi on the way. Guess I'll be ordering next week.

    My thought exactly. I’m loving this WCIPA revival.
