Beer Junction's anniversary IPA
Canned on 11/2/21
An IPA for Morgan & Multiple Myeloma Research
We first brewed this beer for Beer Junction’s 6th Anniversary back in 2016. It was an IPA with dinosaurs and supernovas and space and hops and other great amazing things that make beer! It was also about supporting a small business with exceptional practices, offering fresh beer to the tight knit West Seattle community. The beer was a hit! And we said we’d never brew it again! But in 2019, word got around that Morgan was battling Multiple Myeloma and after a couple conversations, we agreed to bring this beer back, so long as the profits would go to Fred Hutch earmarked for MM research. Shortly after our last exchange, Morgan passed away. The pandemic was taking off and we were forced to table the beer once more, until we could celebrate Morgan - which is NOW! Like, TODAY! In the interim, our friends at Skagit Valley Malt got wind of a great cause and donated the malt. As for hops, it’s the same bill as before - GALAXY (duh), CITRA, MOSAIC, SIMCOE and MANDARINA. On that note, a cheers to you Morgan - Here’s to good people gone too soon, here’s to hope and faith in scientific research, and here’s to keeping promises to friends, past and present. And to dinosaurs, in space, wearing spacesuits, shooting lasers.

Taster shared with Matt. Appearance: hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma: skunky and dank, some tropical fruits. Taste: along the same lines, very juicy while drinking with a dry aftertaste. Overall: good one.

On tap at The Beer Junction, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank hops, stone fruits, and some pine. Flavour is both bitter and fruity, with pungent piney hop bitterness, some weediness, and stone fruits. For such a juicy hazy, this still packs a nice hoppy, bitter punch. Excellent.

Draft pour pint, as a celebration of Beer Junction’s 6th anniversary, as well as good beer in general. This beer marks my 1000th WA brewed rate, and I couldn’t think of a better brewery to clear with, other than my favorite local brewery, doing a celebration themed beer. Thick, cloudy orange pour with an unlimited supply of foam. Dominant pine leaning hop aroma. Creamy body, cool flavor with piney hops, and a solid citrus bitter remainder. Fruit seems to be more obvious with every sip. I love these guys. They seem to release about 10 beers a month on average, and never seem to miss. Very nicely done.
