Once we pick fresh hops, the clock starts ticking. Each year, we visit the Pacific Northwest to hand-select the best Cascade and Centennial hops, race the harvest home, and brew immediately to capture citrus, pine, and floral notes at their absolute peak — aromas and flavors for the perfect winter beer. It’s a magical time at the brewery — has been for 40 years now! — when our brewers huddle around the fermentation tanks, toasting the start of a special season with a holiday beer in hand. Wrapped in red, consider Celebration IPA your first present of the holidays.

Gorgeous beer, lovely piney hop character, toasted biscuits, orange peel, a little caramel, lingering grassy bitterness. A classic.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is piney hop with grapefruit, malt, pine resin, orange. Hint of caramel. Bitter flavour with some sweetness. Medium body. Bitter, piney and malty. First brewed in the year of my birth, gotta respect the classics.

Aromas and flavors are slightly old resin with some citrus and amber malt. Full body and mild carbonation. I wish the soft carbonation fad would end.
