West Coast IPA Thread

Chin Lizzy is confirmed good. Not as good as Hop Jitsu (what I meant to say in the original post) but still solid WC goodness

 

Another west coast brewery addition...
Wild Fields Brewhouse. Drinking my first Wild Fields ipa appropriately name Learning To Fly. Ryan sprouted from Pizza Port & Beachwood Blendery before giving up his head brewer to Harrison. Both the song and this beer is excellent. Especially together. All Hail to West Coast IPA’s.

 

Been meaning to try some of his brews. Glad to hear he's doing good things (as if there was any doubt)

 

Thanks for the tip. Tried Todays Forecast. Solid westie.

 

NPBC/Green Cheek collab got canned. I'm all in!

 

a few weeks ago with Win the West, last week with Strata Rocket, this week with Comforts of Repetition, it seems I'm going to be ordering NP delivery for the 3rd week in a row! And I do need more Bird Park as well.

 

Bearded Tang Cone Deaf is a very solid west coast ipa. On tap at location or to go crowlers.

 

Available at NP? GC? Or both?

 

Yes, another solid whip from PP. If your in SC or the PP locations do yourself a favor and get their collab with Burgeon's Nug O War.

 

Looks like it’s available in North Park only. Bummer. Comforts In Repetition west coast ipa.

 

As of sunday lunch special time PPSanClemente was out

 

6 packs that is

 

For those who might not be aware, NPBC ships throughout the state of CA and has a rather impressive selection of cans available right now. Haven't cracked open a Comforts in Repetition yet, but I have a feeling it's going to be pretty damn tasty.

 

Other than Hop Fu and Strata Rocket I also enjoyed Mosaic Promise. Good stuff from these guys.

 

So NugOWar cans sold out already?

 

Not at Bressi. I suspect Bressi restocks the other locations regularly. They just released this Thursday (or Friday?). Bressi also had cans of a small batch/different label beer called Got the Goods 7.2% westie and good.
On the Strata Rocket/Nug O War side by side, to me, SR has a much more prominent aroma. Similar body/feel and flavors, and SR has a longer lasting finish, likely enhanced by the aromas. SR+ 23.99 a 4pk and NugOWar 15 a 6pk so thats a consideration.

 

Actually to amend what i wrote above, having a SR immediately after a Nug. Nug is way towards the dry side kinda classic PP IPA and Strata Rocket is more robust and .....for lack of a better term 'juicy'.

 

Urban Roots - Guacamole is Extra (Mosaic and Citra) belongs in this thread. Tasty AF

 

ASB has TKN, Pleasure Wave, and Double Cone in their store.

They are all excellent. Double Cone is unreal.

 

We can agree on Double Cone. I thought TKN was a forgettable and too sweet for preferences.
