Continental Drift is a collaboration between Florida’s Cigar City Brewing and California’s Knee Deep Brewing Co. For this collab, we wanted to turn the whole continent on its ear and brew a West Coast-style IPA in Florida and an East Coast-style IPA in California. This beer is unique in that it uses hops processed in four different ways: extract, pellets, whole leaf, and lupulin powder. These diverse hop formats create more hop complexity.
TASTING NOTES
Bright berry, tangerine and candied orange hop aroma is accentuated by a peachy ester quality on the nose. Bready malt flavor and moderate residual sweetness balance an assertive but tempered bitterness and stone fruit flavor.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy orange with medium frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is strong citrus and pine. Medium body, juicy hop, grapefruit, dank, lingering resin finish, very good.
