Longing for New Zealand

Hey New Zealand, we have one question for you: Why are you so far away from me? We need help, and you’re way across the sea. What help do we need, exactly? Um, LOTS. Like, universal healthcare. And free and fair elections - none of this gerrymandering, vote in person in this time window at this random place on a fucking Tuesday bullshit. With better, more transparent campaign finance reform (#fuckcitizensunited). And maybe we could also reserve some seats in Congress for our Indigenous stewards like you do. Oh, also stronger protections for the LGBTQIA+ community. And stricter gun laws. ANYWAYS YOU GET THE GIST. And to get your attention, we brewed a refreshing IPA with Nectaron, Waimea, & Rakau hops all grown on the South Island. Plus a little Citra. So, ah, yeah…HELP!

Opaque, thin head. Light stone fruit, mild malt, touch of stone fruit. Hop burn. I guess it’s about the norm for cloudburst.

Draft pour pint at Tapped, Mill Creek. Something unique about this New Zealand IPA substyle, and this one captures all the great things about it. Juicy front, with bitter piney and citrus hops that follow. A biting hazy. Bitter like a west coast, and ultimately refreshing. Hybrid of three different IPA styles maybe? This is awesome.
