Just like how John and Sarah Connor fought the computer overlords and were finally able to conquer the war thanks to a friendly supercomputer-powered robot, for years we fought the idea of flagships or “core beers”, but have recently met our match with “Supercomputer”, our newest Hazy IPA that’s officially now in our lineup of core offerings. Meaning we’ll be making a concerted effort to keep this beer around all the time.

Over the last few years, we’ve found many base recipes that work well for our Hazy IPA category. We’ve scaled those up and down, increased and decreased dry hopping, tried new techniques, experimented with countless hop products, and yet…we kept coming back to this the tried and true base that was our “Computers” series of DDH Hazy IPA. On further review, we realized we really liked the base beer, and wanted to produce something more approachable for an every-day super-juicy Hazy IPA that could still hold up to our standards. Something hoppy and juicy and balanced, but not as intensely saturated as most of our other Hazy IPA. We normally do a lot of Double-Dry-Hopping for maximum saturation, if you hadn’t noticed.

So we stuck with the classic Citra-Mosaic combo for the hop blend, and then loaded it up with El Dorado as a third hop in this beautiful symphony of juice. The results are absolutely outstanding! A delightful blend of Blueberry, Blood Orange, Mango, Pineapple, Peach/Apricot, and a perfect kiss of dankness without any substantial bitterness at all. We wanted something that’s juuuuuust complex enough to be exciting, but also laid-back enough to truly crush a couple beers with some buds. Or alone! Whatever tickles your fancy, ya heard?

We’re pleased as punch to welcome this newest addition to our lineup of “Core Offerings” and truly think this one was worth the wait.
