Description
Fresh, Fun, Approachable, Hop-Forward
Hey there! We're Offshoot Beer Co. from your friends at The Bruery. Offshoot is the Bruers' playground, where we dive deep into the world of hop-forward beers. While we could definitely geek out on the intricacies of making these beers, we'd rather just open a cold one and...Relax.
What is Offshoot?
Years ago our founder Patrick Rue made a promise to NEVER brew an IPA. As time went on, our adventurous Bruers KNEW they could make world class hop-forward beers, so Offshoot was born as an offshoot of The Bruery, all while keeping Patrick's promise that The Bruery would NEVER make an IPA.
Where The Bruers Relax
Offshoot is what The Bruers drink when they're off the clock. Nothing better to help you Relax, Escape, Retreat, or Coast.

From a 473ml can on 10/2021. Pours a hazy medium golden with a medium head. The nose is punchy with lots of citrus. Tastes of orange, mandarin, tangerine, a touch of apricot and some honey. Finishing moderately bitter with a touch of grapefruit. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Tasty and comes together really nicely.

Poured from 473mL can (pkgd 12/10/2020 - 5 months old). Cloudy, almost murky orange-ish yellow with white head. Mild bread malt, citrus and tropical hops. Lost a little bit of it from age, but kept most of the flavour. Very good.

Poured from 473mL can (pkgd 12/09/2020 - 5 months old). Murky light brownish yellow with white head. Fairly malty, the hop profile has unfortunately lost a lot of its flavour, mild tropical hops.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 11/16/20 - approx 6 months old). Slightly hazy golden orange with off white head. Sticky biscuit malt with a touch of caramel malt and hint of bread malt, fairly mild resinous hops. If it were fresher, would probably have a very nice hop profile and be a good example of a WC IPA.

Can thanks to Sarah! Pours a clear orange gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of pine and some bitter citrus rind with a hint of grass and grain underlying. Flavor has pine and some earthy grapefruit with citrus rind and a hint of sweet grass backing.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver, 9 Dec 2020, 4 months old
Blond colour, a bit darker than the average hazy, cloudy to murky. Minimal fruity hop character, good body and mouthfeel, very light residual sweetness; on the positive side, the base is not chalky, on the negative side, the hops are not bright.
It's already 4 months old, too much.

Biscuity, with resinous hops, strong bitterness, not very bright, alas it's not fresh, but it's solid. Pleasant modern West Coast IPA.
