Kern River (2025)

Best West Coast IPA brewery in the state…and probably country

 

Just picked up, and I'm drinking now, Sequoia Red. It's freaking good! We need more amber/red ales, this really hits the spot.

 

I remember just getting into craft beer around 2005 and every brewery had a red/amber ale as a flagship Red Rocket Ale, Dead Guy Ale, Fat Tire Amber Ale, Anderson Valley Boont Amber Ale, Arrogant Bastard Ale, etc. It feels like a dying breed nowadays.

 

Red Trolley Ale from Karl Strauss is my go to Red. Huge fan.

 

At the risk of turning this into a red ale appreciation thread, I used to love Ninkasi's Dawn of the Red.

 

We have seen a resurgence of amber/red ales with our sequoia red recently. I like this trend.

things to look forward to this year at KRBC
Collaboration brews with RIIP and Tarantula Hill. Also a new Krush IPA. Cheers to 20 years!

 

@KRBCEric Will the RiiP crew head north to Kernville to brew the collab? Or your sending your brew crew to HB?

 

Did Sequoia Red see any distro in Los Angeles? Haven't seen any around and i LOVE a red ale. Can't ever do brewery shipping cuz of my chaotic/unpredictable schedule and i Can't ever sign for shit

 

Just arrived…

 

Danny and crew will be coming up to Kernville. Love hosting brewers up there for a little work and play. Excited about this one.

 

Yes. We added Sequoia red to our year round lineup with SDC along with our Lovely kettle sour. Ask your favorite store to start carrying it!

 

My local still has some cans from the last batch.

still feels like winter in hb.

 

Anyone know any spots in OC that has Citra currently in stock? I’ve tried my normal spots but haven’t found any this season. It’s my all-time favorite WCIPA.

 

Mr Kegs might still have some 4pks left. I’ve 2 months old by now, but hey if you wants some why not? They also have Winter Ale. Just as good. Call them.

 

Found some !
Asked my new local of they could get some packs since they usually have a few of your offerings .
This is a wonderful Red ale and I'm enjoying every sip

 

great news! Glad you are enjoying it.

 

2025 = year of the red ale!

 

It's always year of the Red( Wave), brotherrrrrr

always grabbed some Speedway and Old Rasputin here and they rarely carry it anymore so i went with the next best thing.

Settled for Dark Star since you can't ever pass on that
