West Coast IPA Thread

It looks like it was $24.99 for 24pk. Not a bad deal dollar-wise assuming you like the beer.
(Especially considering some of the hipster bottle shops and breweries are charging that for a 4 pk of cans).

 

Is that anchors new slogan?

 

Yes. The runners-up were...
1. It could be a lot worse
2. This breweries older than your grandpa. You’ll drink what we tell you.

 

Sierra Nevada Celebration is beginning to pop up on shelves. Rejoice!

 

I just found a year old bottle in my beer fridge. Looks like a good time to do a side by side.

 

Damn you should hold onto it another 9 years.

 

yeah gunz...how was the 10 year old Pliny?

 

Not bad if you are a virgin/newbie and you never had Pliny before and had no clue what it was suppose to taste like and just getting into IPA’s. It tasted like a bitter hopped up old school west coast ipa from back in the days. But the bottom of the bottle? Different story.

Just cracked open my first can of the “Short-Lived” collaboration between Madewest and There Does Not Exist. 7% WCIPA. Absolutely delicious! And $8.99/4-pack!

 

Camp Nelson IPA. This one from Kern River pours almost like a lite hazy. Actually it reminded me of Nelson. The color is beautiful unfiltered orange. This may the closest I’ve tasted to the og Nelson. I will put this one up there with Chuurch! and Shuttle Bunny as my favorites from KRBC. This is a brand new ipa from them. I highly suggest picking up a 4pk if you see it. While it’s fresh.

 

One of my favorite West Coast DIPAs lately. Went back for more cans.

Humble Sea/Slice Collab. SHRALP!

 

New one out from NPBC today! Simcoe and Mosaic hopped.

 

You’re really getting me excited about this one. Can’t wait to receive my order. OG Nelson is the gold standard. 75% of it would be pretty mind blowing.

 

Camp Nelson is good, but it’s nothing mind blowing. The nose is more muted than I expected, and there’s a slight lingering harshness on the finish that is a little off putting. Mind you, my expectation of this beer was high, especially considering the comparisons to the OG Nelson.

 

I’m always a fan of Ghost Town, out of Oakland but this beer really pleasantly surprised me.
Great balanced flavors of stonefruit & citrus fruits. Clear and beautiful.
Drinkability off the charts.

(not the greatest photo).

 

that collaboration w/Altamont - Friends w/Social Distances back when the covid devil just came to town is still the best WCIPA ive had this year. bummer mr scott windsor down here in the oc hasnt had any distro since. tx for the show

 

totally disappointed w/INHUME from Ghost Town.

moreover, no canning date, premium priced.

I'll think twice next time, save my $

 

Good Ole West is the name and it's another excellent WCIPA from them.
