We first brewed Destination IPA to celebrate Andy’s 50th birthday in the summer of 2023 at Elusive. The second batch was brewed at Burning Sky in 2024 and last year we brewed V3 here under the arches at The Kernel.

This year we’ve each made a version of Destination IPA at our respective breweries, all at different percentages. Burning Sky made a Session IPA at 4%, we made a 6% IPA at The Kernel and Elusive made an 8% DIPA.

Collaboration with Elusive and Burning Sky

Malt: Low Colour Maris Otter, Carapils
Hops: Centennial, Chinook, Citra, HBC 522
Yeast: House Cal Ale Yeast

Destination IPA V4 - The Kernel Version, 6% is hopped with Centennial, Chinook, Citra and HBC 522 and follows Andy’s (Elusive) idea of what a West Coast IPA should be, which is a pale, lighter, more bitter India Pale Ale than our regular core IPA.
