Eel River Brewing Is Set To Release Onyx Black IPA
America’s first Certified Organic Brewery, Eel River Brewing Company’s newest release in their lineup of high quality seasonal craft beers is their Onyx Black IPA. This Dry Hopped American Black IPA embodies a dark malt backdrop and a light hint of coffee, with the first sip revealing the resin packed citrus flavor and aroma of the Pacific Northwest grown hops.
Like the rest of Eel River Brewing Company’s seasonal selections coming out in 2014, this Dry Hopped American Black IPA originated as a pub only offering and gained traction each time it was released to the locals. Eel River Brewing decided to try its luck with the Onyx as a seasonal offering, thus allowing those outside the local Humboldt County community to try what specialties they have to offer. After its well-received release in January of 2013 in draft only, Eel River Brewing will be releasing it again in late January of 2014 in draft as well as NEW Screen Printed 22 Ounce Bottles. After being named Onyx for its dark and bold appearance, this 6.8% ABV and 52 IBU hop bomb will leave you feeling warm in the cold of winter.

About The Author
Probably a great beer, cool looking label, but awful taste misappropriating the Pacific Northwest Native Haida motif. There’s too much terrible recent history to ignore to make this okay, I my humble opinion.
The beer is awesome, including the label. It really shows tasteful art for a really tasteful beer.
This brewery is out of Northern California…nothing to do with this type of native art. I highly doubt they got permission to even use this artwork. I think its offensive consoders it has nothing to do with a native tribe.
The image on the label is a sacred icon of a culture that was decimated by European contact.
