The 3rd edition to Evil Twin Brewing’s American lineup this week is Bikini. This Norwegian highly sessionable beer is a mere 2.7% ABV. Surely the session beer partisans can agree on this one.

The 3rd edition to Evil Twin Brewing’s American lineup this week is Bikini. This Norwegian highly sessionable beer is a mere 2.7% ABV. Surely the session beer partisans can agree on this one.
Let’s be frank- this sissy beer. 2.7% alcohol, attractively light bodied, and annoyingly well balanced hops. Put on your best bikini and enjoy the very, very drinkable beer in the sun, at this summer’s festivals, or even better use to slowly seduce your nagging friends with an anxiety for craft beer.
This gem is honored with the name of the hop plant, Humulus lupulus, and is Short’s best selling India Pale Ale. It has such an abundant amount of hops that it sensually provides a punch to the palate. The numerous hop varieties used in its creation render a delicious bitter taste and enticing citrus aroma. The hearty malt bill melds with the hops to create a perfect balance.
Style: American IPA Availability: 12 oz bottles, Draft.

Deschutes Edition Of Boulevard Conflux ‘White IPA’
As mentioned earlier, Boulevard Brewing (Kansas City, MO) is collaborating with Deschutes Brewing (Bend, OR). The breweries are creating a ‘white’ IPA. Even more interesting – this collaboration doesn’t involve travelling. The white IPA is created off a single recipe that will become unique when Deschutes & Boulevard brew it. Each brewery is releasing this beer under their own labels.
Label:
Isn’t it how it always works? A few brewers sit around tippling and waxing poetic about what-ifs, wild ideas and untapped dreams when one suddenly proclaims “why not?” So the conflux series was born, bravely leaping corporate and geographic barriers to jointly explore uncharted beeratory. Cheers, fellow explorers, cheers.
Second in a series, this citrusy, smooth white india pale ale is a fortuitous meeting of Deschutes’ hop skills and Boulevard’s deft wheat touch. What’s 1800 miles when a great beer is at stake?
Style: Belgian IPA Availability: 750ml Bottles, Draft. All regions where Boulevard & Deschutes is distributed.
7.5% ABV
Deschutes Brewing will be distributed in Missouri soon. June — July launch date.
Founder’s Brewing took a poll back in April asking people to vote for their new All Day IPA label. Meet the winner. The ABV is higher than 4%, so those hardcore session people are going to have a tough time with this one. Another way to look at it: in the world of IPAs there aren’t many that are below 5% or even in the neighborhood of 4%. A 4.7% IPA would be easier to drink over time.
About All Day IPA: The beer you’ve been waiting for. Keeping your taste satisfied while keeping your senses sharp. An all-day IPA naturally brewed with a complex array of malts, grains, and hops. Perfectly balanced for aggressive aromatics, moderate bitterness and a remarkably clean finish. It’s the perfect companion for tall tales around the bonfire, working around the yard, or introducing great craft beer to your Uncle Ernie and Aunt Claudia.
In celebrating 25 years of brewing Dan Kenary and Rich Doyle, founders of Harpoon Brewing bring you hoppy rye offering. Rich & Dan’s IPA joins they brewery’s 100 Barrel series this month. It is #37 in the series. Harpoon was founded in 1986 in Boston, Massachusetts. In 2000, Harpoon purchased the Catamount Brewery and expanded to Winsor, Vermont. Both locations have tap rooms & tours.
Brewing our Rye IPA has given us the opportunity to reflect on 25 years of Harpoon and yet another excuse to have a pint or two of beer together on the brewhouse floor. As all good partnerships require give and take, we went back and forth on the specifics of this unfiltered Rye IPA. In choosing this style, we pooled our individual ideas and preferences to create something that we would both enjoy and, we hope, something that you will enjoy as well.
Hefeweizen meets IPA in Terrapin’s Side Project #15 – Indiana Krunkles. On shelves now for the drinking.
