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.

355ml can, finally getting around to this classic. Pours an almost clear dark amber, big beige head. Aroma of pine, very resinous, caramel, citrusy hops. Taste is the same very resinous and piney, orange and grapefruit, caramel, with a very long and very bitter finish. A bitterness which in some sips seemed almost a touch metallic? Decent but expected something a bit more...
