New Belgium Brewing (Fort Collins, CO) has launched a new, year round session beer, Slow Ride Session IPA. The brewery recognized the need for a hop forward, yet low abv offering in the year round lineup.
“The fun part about making this beer was balancing eight different hop strains into something smooth, bold and sessionable,” said New Belgium Assistant Brewmaster, Grady Hull. “We pitch Cascade, Target, Nelson Sauvin and Centennial hops in the kettle and we dry hop with Mosaic, Simcoe, Amarillo and Citra. It’s amazingly flavorful, and it still comes in at 4.5% abv.”
New Belgium Slow Ride Session IPA is available now in 12oz bottles and draft. Cans arrive in March, 2015.
