21A’s Hop Bomb, Hop Crisis Returns

21st Amendment (San Francisco, CA) announced the return of Hop Crisis today. Those who love hops, you’ll be glad this one is back. Hop Crisis is an oak aged imperial IPA, available on draft and in 4 pack cans.

“A few years ago, when hop prices shot through the roof, making it more difficult to brew bitter beers, we decided there was only one thing to do. Make the biggest, hoppiest beer we could imagine. And we really wanted to celebrate the Imperial IPA style by doing something a little more original. Aside from the higher alcohol and intense hop bitterness, we felt aging the beer on oak would add some additional layers of flavor. Because oak can overwhelm the hops, we chose a light, subtle oak character to accentuate the dry hop bitterness and add a unique character to the beer.” 

Style: Imperial IPA (Oak Aged)
Availability: 12oz cans, Draft. Limited release.
Area:  CA, OR, WA, AK, ID, MN, OH, MA, NY, NJ, DC, MD, DE, PA, VA, GA and NC.

Cigar City Creates Biggest Batch Of White Oak Jai Alai Yet

Cigar City (Tampa, FL) will spend next week bottling and kegging the largest batch of White Oak Jai Alai IPA they have ever done. The IPA spend some of it’s early life aging on flavorful white oak. The result is tropical, oaky, and flavorful. It’s been a minute since this beer has been released. Many are excited to see it return.

This is an American White Oak-aged version of Jai Alai India Pale Ale. The white oak adds smoothing notes of vanilla and slight hints of dill to the aroma and flavor profile. The finish is elegantly dry due to the light tannin notes from oak aging and though still loaded with hop flavor, hop bitterness is more restrained.

Style: IPA (Oak Aged)
Availability: 12 oz bottles, Draft.

7.5% ABV, 70 IBUs

Lost Abbey Gives Birth To The Devil with Track 7

It’s July which means time for another Lost Abbey Ultimate Box Set Release. Track 7 is inspired by INXS’s 1988 hit “The Devil Inside.” So what beer matches this little bundle of evil? A remix of the brewery’s Veritas 006, a wild ale.  The crew took that beer, and added raspberries, cherries and Mandarin orange zest. This baby arrives July 21, 2012. Sold only at the brewery, for consumption on site only.

It is a remix of our classic Veritas 006 aka sangria. We have raspberry and cherry providing the bulk of the fruit texture over a sour yellow base beer. To this we also added some orange peel and freshly zested mandarin orange zest as well. The beer finishes with a nice tannic finish and is truly a refreshing riff on a Lost Abbey classic.

Style: American Wild Ale (w/ Raspberries, Cherries, Orange Zest, Oak Aged)
Availability: 12.7 oz bottles. Brewery only

8.12% ABV
