Grounded in the Stars is a 6.8% IPA brewed in collaboration with our friends at Track Brewing Co. Earlier this year, we traveled to Manchester to brew the first iteration of this beer at their brewery, and now Matt and Kit have joined us in Vermont to complete the circle with a stateside version brewed in Hinesburg. The recipe combines local and global character, featuring wheat from Nitty Gritty Grain for a nutty, full body, with early additions of Citra, Strata, and Nelson unlocking thiol-driven notes of pawpaw, guava, and gooseberry during fermentation with London Fog yeast. A dry hop of Nectaron, Riwaka, Nelson, and Citra layers in glowing flavors of stone fruit, tropical citrus, passion fruit, and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Available now at 112 Lake Street.

Pours hazy pale gold into a willi. White head with little retention recedes to mottle surface. Lychee and tangerine aromas. Medium bodied with sweet with white smarties, guava and papaya upfront turning to dirty tropical fruit skin before the lasting pith finish.

Canned 9/23/25, drunk 11/15/25, as pictured.
Lemony-pineapple with a strong unripe tropical/stone fruit skin character and light, honey-and-white-bread-like malts to gently balance. Clean with no twang or resin. Seems to have good acidity balance. Not too sweet and mushy like a lot of Foam IPAs these days.
Yeah, it's certainly not very bitter but the malts are, for the most part, pretty well-attenuated. That said, there's still a touch of mushy sweetness and big white bread. Lots of lemon, stone fruit and mild grassiness. Maybe the malts show up more prominently than they should because the hops and bitterness are both so timid.

On tap at Blind Tiger. Pours a hazy light yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has mango and melon with some blood orange and a hint of rind underlying. Flavor has more of a dank mango with citrus and melon coming through.
