My first exposure into the craft beer world was at (you can probably guess) Rock Bottom Brewery and Restaurant in La Jolla, CA. The Head brewer was nice enough to answer all my overly specific homebrew questions and teach me in the ins and outs of brewing at a commercial level, even though I wasn’t employed on the brewing team. Things have came a long way since then; I started BreakThru, and she moved across the country to take on the brewing program with D9. To celebrate our first anniverary and the opening of their uptown location complete with a shiny new 5 bbl pilot system we are each brewing our take on this SoCal style staple! Hopped with the classic combination of Citra and Mosaic on a light body, amplified with concentrated cryo versions of each!

16 oz can poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. My exclusive Breakthru dealer. Pours a somewhat cloudy golden with a rocky foam head. A fun new brewery, if I can still call them new. Every beer has been good, and now we've reached the anniversary beers. Easy drinking imperial with a melon hop like nose. Juicy hops, hints of pear and a subtle grassy note in the background. Well executed imperial as it's full of flavor and far from boozy or overly aggressive. Solid IIPA here.
