Green Flash Brewing
Green Flash Headed to Hawaii
Green Flash Brewing (San Diego, CA) is headed to Hawaii later this summer.
Currently, we don’t have a finalized date, but the distributor of record is Paradise Beverages Inc. (Par Bev). By August, islanders will be sipping Palate Wrecker, among other offerings.
By our calculations, that places Green Flash in 49 states, with only Utah left to go.
Beer Street Journal Video: Terrapin & Green Flash Create Tangerine Dreamsicle
The collaboration got started with Green Flash Brewing (San Diego, CA) wanting to brew a beer called Road Warrior, to honor their employees that always travel. One hiccup, Terrapin Beer Company in Athens, GA already had dibs on the name.
Green Flash made more than one financial offer for “Road Warrior.” Terrapin decided to allow Green Flash to use the name, under one condition. You’ll find out in the above Beer Street Journal video.
Green Flash’s brewmaster Chuck Silva joins Terrapin brewmaster and co-founder “Spike” Buckowski to create a different spin on an ipa. Tangerine Dreamsicle is brewed with Azacca hops (pretty new breed), and tangerine peel, along with lactose (milk sugar) to turn this beer into an orange creamsicle.
Available in Terrapin’s 12 distribution states in 22oz bombers and draft for a limited time.
Style: IPA (w/ Tangerine Peel, Lactose)
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft
6.5%ABV
