One of the first festivals we ever attended as a brewery was Hop Culture’s Juicy Brews fest a few years ago. During our time in Maine, we had an absolute blast hanging out with our friends from Pretentious Beer Co. With COVID we haven’t had the chance to head down south and visit Knoxville so we decided to link up with Pretentious and bring a little Knoxville to Jersey! #PROPERVASEBEER is a NE style TIPA Triple Dry Hopped with Mosaic+Simcoe+Chinook+El Dorado+Citra+Galaxy. The concept for #PROPERVASEBEER was inspired by Pretentious’ love for unique glassware. For those of you unfamiliar with them, in addition to brewing up delicious beers, they also create and sell handblown glass. To create the perfect beer for some #propervaseware we took Pretentious’ Big Kitty Energy, bumped up the abv slightly, and gave it the Brix treatment.

This juicy hop bomb has huge notes of freshly juiced peaches, passionfruit, white tea, and orange marmalade with some soft notes of honeydew melon and light blueberry.
