The GARAGE and RIEL collaboration continues we very fortunate to be able to brew Ziplocked ’25, the 4th edition of our farm to pint collab with Double R Ranches. A select lot of Double R Ranches Citra has been shipped to us especially for this beer. While over in Yakima at hop selection in September 2022 we had the privilege of being hosted by the Riel family of Double R Ranches as they returned the favour from their trip to Garage previous year. It’s no wonder their hops are so good considering the standards that they work to in harvesting and processing thier hops.
We have stayed true to previous recipes and just let the hops do the talking. Pushing our mash tun to the limit using dangerous amounts of flaked wheat and oats to conjure up a creamy, silky base beer. On top of this we have layered loads of Citra in the WP and then pushed our IPA rules out the window to dry hop this with monstrous amounts of this great hop. Expect huge citrus bouquet complimented by some passion fruit, pink grapefruit, marijuana and stone fruit notes. This is Juice.

Soft, smooth and slightly fruity with some citrus, pine and grapefruit. Fresh and hoppy, but also quite easy going.

Tap at Taproom Madrid, 31st March 25. Pours opaque yellow and quite thick. Aroma is tropical with citrus. Taste is smooth, tropical fruits, citrus, grapefruit and a tickle of bitterness. Outstanding IPA from Garage, way better than any beer this evening

On tap at Garage Universitat. Pours a hazy yellow, small head. Aroma is citrus, light pine, mango and tropical fruit. Medium body. Flavour is malty, sweet, and ever so smooth. Lots of wheat and oats make this super creamy. Flavour is very balanced, and showcases primarily citra (?), lots of lime, mango, lemon, delicate but pronounced pine, grass. Lovely and fresh, no bitterness but also no hopburn. Another banger from Garage.
