Decatur, Georgia’s Three Taverns Craft Brewery is releasing their fifth beer this month – White Hops White IPA.
The name comes from a piece of Georgia’s brewing history, “White Hops” a beer sold under the nose of alcohol regulators. The beer was brewed by the now defunct Atlanta City Brewery. Since no one is around now to recall what it tasted like, Three Taverns is going to take a crack at it.
Three Taverns White Hops is brewed with citra hops, spices, grapefruit peel, and most importantly, wheat. Look for it on draft initially, and 12oz bottles in January, 2014.
Style: White IPA (w/ Spices, Grapefruit Peel)
Availability: Draft (December), 12oz Bottles (January)

I guess brewing IPAs is a bit like the wild west. The hoppy liquid roams free everywhere, and you have to fight for dominance. Great Divide Brewing Company (Denver, CO) is back in the saddle with hops in hand. This is Lasso, a new daring IPA creation from the Rocky Mountain state.
Lasso is brewed with a blend of Centennial, Columbus, and Cascade hops that’s a little lighter on the ABV (5%)
LASSO is the new frontier of India Pale Ale. Brewed with a robust roundup of Columbus, Centennial and Cascade hops, its sessionable simplicity proves bigger isn’t always better. But make no mistake – the wild west hasn’t gone mild. That same untamed spirit thrives, and we reckon this i’ll go down mighty fine.
Great Divide Lasso IPA will be available in 12oz bottles and draft.

One of America’s most revered craft brewers has an IPA in the works. Their newest adventure Anchor IPA is a testament not only to California gold rush history, but the IPA itself. Brewed with whole cone hops, and 2-row barley.
The California Gold Rush lured thousands west “to see the elephant,” a 19th century metaphor for the hopeful but risky pursuit of happiness, adventure, and forture. As early as 1849, India Pale Ale – prepared by British brewers for export to to India by adding dry hops to barrels of hoppy ale – was also heading west, from England around the horn to San Francisco. Thirsty ‘49ers savored imported IPAs, but it wasn’t until 1975 that Anchor, America’s original craft brewery, pioneered the revival of dry-hopped handmade ales. Now, that tradition fast-forwards to an adventurous new brew: Anchor IPA. Made with 2-row barley malt and fresh whole-cone hops, its bright amber color, spiky bitterness, malty depth, and clean finish unite to create a uniquely flavorful, memorable, and timeless IPA.
Anchor IPA will be packaged in 22oz and12oz bottles, and Draft. Release details to follow from Anchor.
Style: IPA
Availability: 22oz Bombers, 12oz Bottles, Draft
