THIS IS OUR 1,000th BREW!?
One thousand turns under the sun. That’s a pretty big deal! And to commemorate it, instead of brewing something new and/or big and/or CRAZY, we chose to look back at the first IPA we ever made, in November of 2015. IPAs have changed quite a bit over the last 6+ years, but this beer still holds its own - a juicy, tropical and bright West Coast Hazy rendition that’s bittered with Chinook, and finished with copious amounts of Citra, Mosaic, & Cascade. And after near-countless IPAs we’ve made since, it feels pretty special to look back and re-brew the one that opened us up and introduced you all to our little brewery that could. We couldn’t make IPAs if nobody drank them….so here’s to YOU! And another 1,000 more!

Draft pour pint at Special Brews. Pours a cloudy tang color with a rocky foam head. Ton of lacing here. Huge grapefruit citrus aroma, which is the start of everything I love about IPA’s. Throw some grapefruit in there, and it’s awesome. I don’t eat grapefruit ever, because I never cared for it, but put it in a beer, and it’s a whole new story. My favorite feature in an IPA for sure. Grapefruit comes through dominant in the flavor as well. Nice citrus. Great hop character. I feel like someday, Cloudburst will be a household name in this industry. They got something special going. I guess they do have plenty of experience to back them up. Fantastic IPA to say the least.
