The first collaboration in our CULTIVATE series, exploring beer as a product of agriculture, is brewed with Bale Breaker Brewing Company. They’re a brewery from Yakima, Washington, based on their fourth-generation hop farm, Loftus Ranches. Owner/Brewmaster Kevin came to visit us and together we have brewed a crisp, dry and modern West Coast Pale Ale using Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe, Krush and Idaho 7, all grown at Loftus. A stripped-back, simple malt base and clean yeast profile allows the heavy hop charge to shine; a symphony of citrus and tropical delights with a bassline of berry, peach and pine.

I once interviewed the Chairman of QPR at Loftus Road. This 'Loftus' has less to say, dirty-hoppy tasting, similar aroma, it's gritty-tasting for it, a somewhat abject west coast styled brew, not undrinkable though, just extreme in its ingredients in an unfavourable way.
