SweetWater is releasing Mosaic Single Hop Hazy IPA as a seasonal this month

SweetWater Mosaic Single Hop Hazy IPA is officially the brewery’s latest seasonal, packaged this week.

Mosaic hops are the star of this hazy India pale ale. SweetWater debuted this release at the brewery for IPA Day on August 2nd.

We are going to simplify the release into simple terms. Mosaic is a dank all-star hop in the brewing world. Having a great stash of this hop increases your chances of a damn good IPA. In real life, not every brewery pulls it off. Water chemistry and dry-hopping plays a big role in the result. SweetWater Mosaic Single Hop IPA simply put – gets it all right. This hazy beer was once found in their “Hatchery Series”. Now, this release is gone full production, full on dank.

Waves of tropical and citrus flavors attack your palate. Think mango and pine. Finish just with just a touch of soft bitterness. If this were baseball, this a walk-off homerun of a seasonal.

SweetWater Mosaic is available for a limited time in 12-ounce bottles, 12-ounce cans, and draft.

Style: IPA
Hops: Mosaic

Availability: 12oz Bottles, 12oz Cans, Draft.
Debut: Mid-August 2018

6.2% ABV

An IPA that’s part sports drink. Meet Avery Go Play IPA

Avery Go Play IPA joins the Boulder, Colorado brewery’s year-round lineup this month.

Brewery founder Adam Avery wanted to create a beer like this for years. A full-flavored, “bold” India pale ale that still sports a lower alcohol by volume and is perfect for outdoor activities.

How does the brewery achieve this? Generous dry-hopping with dank and tropical hops like  Vic Secret, Idaho 7, and Simcoe, plus an addition of sodium and potassium (think sports drinks). Avery calls the beer “IPA-Ade”.

…The great thing is about Go Play IPA is that it doesn’t matter if you are out crushing a 100-mile bike ride, redpointing your hardest climb yet, or simply walking the dog, this beer is designed to get you outside to play.” – Adam Avery

Avery Go Play IPA is available in 12-ounce cans and draft, year-round starting in July 2018.

Style: IPA
Hops: Simcoe, Idaho 7, Columbus, Vic Secret
Malts: 2-Row, Wheat, Vienna

Availability: 12oz Cans, Draft. Year-Round.
Debut: July 2018

5.5% ABV

Monday Night to debut ‘Slow Churn’ Milkshake IPA flows today

Monday Night Slow Churn Milkshake IPA debuts on June 22nd.

Earlier this spring, Monday Night Brewing debuted a hop-focused series (and taproom bar) at the brewery’s Trabert Street location. Coming near the end of the month is Slow Churn, a milkshake IPA.

Milkshake IPAs are as hot as the hazy ones right now, brewed with lactose milk sugar, and sometimes vanilla beans or fruit. In the case of Slow Churn, simply expect this release to be “juicy, tropical, & chewy”.

Milkshakes may bring all the boys to the yard, but Slow Churn does that for everyone. A milkshake IPA, this creamy, sweet brew is a perfect complement to summer.
