Breakside Back to the Future IPA, with Fremont Brewing

A Pacific northwest collaboration debuts in June – Breakside Back to the Future IPA.

This new collaboration features Fremont Brewing (Seattle, WA) creating a big India pale ale, with a mix of fun hop varietals, like Azacca, Ella, Jarrylo, Equinox.

We specifically chose new varietals that we think have a lot of promise, and it’s named after the futuristic hops used in each version: Jarrylo and Equinox in Fremont’s, and Azacca and Ella in ours. These beers very might well introduce you to new hop varietals that will be front and center in many IPAs to come.

Broadside Back to the Future IPA will be available in 22oz bottles and draft, starting June 12th.

Style: IPA
Hops: Chinook, Ella, Azacca
Malts: Two Row, Light Crystal
Availability: 22oz Bottles, Draft.
