Our newest in our Batch series - Batch 371 American IPA at 6.2% ABV - is out now! This is our first beer utilizing (a ton of) Krush hops, a new hop variety that debuted in 2024, known for an intense, complex fruit-forward profile, featuring mango, guava, peach, and orange notes with a resinous undertone. While this has a moderate bitterness level, we ran a hopping regimen similar to our hazies, with a huge hop addition of Krush and Citra in the whirlpool at a reduced temperature to extract more flavor and aroma, along with two dry hopping charges of Krush and Amarillo hops. The result is a super light-bodied, straw-colored, moderately bitter IPA with just a boatload of tropical hop flavor - mango, guava, and orange all really pop.
Try one today!
